It starts with a door slam. Then the dreaded words echo down the hall: "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!"

Welcome to the daily fashion showdown between tweens and their wardrobes. Spoiler alert: you’re just a background character in this drama.

The Moodboard Changes Daily

Yesterday she was sporty spice. Today she’s in her boho-girl era. Tomorrow? Maybe something that “looks like I didn’t try, but still slays.”

Her identity is literally stitched into her outfit—and she’s figuring it out one chaotic morning at a time.

The Criteria (and the Tears)

Too itchy. Too tight. Too pink. Not enough pockets. “This makes my arms look weird.” You’d think we were prepping for a red carpet, not recess.

And if one of her fave pieces is in the laundry? Cancel your plans. You’re now a personal stylist and crisis manager.

Athletik Tween to the Rescue

Honestly, we get it. That’s why Athletik Tween is made for these moments:

• Comfy, stretch-friendly fabrics she can move in

• Styles that slay without the stress

• Peach, lilac, or black? We’ve got the ‘fit to match the vibe

Because when she feels good in her clothes, everything else gets easier.

Pro Tips for Surviving the Style Storm

• Pre-plan outfits together on Sunday (with snacks!)

• Create a “top picks” section in her wardrobe that’s always go-to

• Let her mix and match—even if it breaks your fashion heart

And remember: this is about more than clothes. It’s about self-expression, identity, and confidence. Plus, the meltdown usually ends with “Mum, can you help me do my hair?”

So deep breaths. Coffee in hand. And maybe invest in some velvet hangers.

You’re raising a style icon, mama. One tantrum at a time.
