From the article: Shopping for Preteen Clothes: What to Do When You Can't Agree
What styles do you hate to see on preteens? What do you find offensive or inappropriate on young girls and boys? Give Your Opinion
ok sometimes
- Well i personally think bikinis are ok as long as they cover up most of the upper chest and butt. but i dont like really low rider jeans or shirts with offensive writing on them.

Over the line!!!8[
- they cross the line when boys are sagging and girls are showing midriff my daughter in middle school tries to do that and it gets me mad to see kids at age eleven like that

can't stand roller sneakers
- I can't stand roller sneakers -- I keep thinking concussion -- concussion -- concussion. Also, they encourage flitty behavior.

appropriate and inappropriate
- I do think a lot of the low cut blouses they are making for young girls are just too much. I would love to see more age appropriate cuts of shorts for tween girls as well. I recently purchased a few blouses through the Forever Girl brand but I haven't been able to find them as easily since then.

In appropriate
- I don't care for super low jeans with thongs sticking out or the waistbands of boys jeans riding at their mid thighs. This look is so passé anyway. Not to mention tacky . . . I also don't care for jeans worn so tight that they look painted on or obscenely low cut tops. That doesn't look good on a pre-teen. Comments on bums or shirts don't offend me. And a bikini most definitely doesn't!

Low riders
- I can't stand when young girls wear the super low rider jeans that show their butts or undies. So unappropriate for young girls. Also, on the subject of jeans, I don't like when boys where their jeans low to show off their boxer shorts! Pull those jeans up guys!

I don't like it when
- I really don't like it when I see them wearing revealing clothes. I also can't stand when boys wear their pants so low that they are down to their knees. In a few towns over, they can give you a ticket for it.

'cute'??
- I can not stand some of the stuff that is being sold at stores for kids! Words like 'cutie' written across the behind on shorts and pants! Also two piece swim suits- why? Why do they even have those? Why do we want the kids to look 'sexy'? I feel the most appropriate ones will be one piece with boyleg shorts!

Graphic T-Shirts
- with writing on it like "flirt" etc. and no writing on the butt of pants!
