Teenage issues

Teenage issues

It is a common problem on the high street that teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16 struggle to find clothes to fit them. Parents constantly complain to retailers about the lack of clothing for that age group. For girls, they usually have to try a size 6 in womenswear, which not many retailers stock. For the boys, the clothes often stop at age 12 and then it’s onto an extra small in menswear, which, again, not many retailers stock and they are still too big for some teenagers.
