When do you start shopping for your kids clothes from the adult section?

My eldest daughter is 13, almost 14 and just started 9th grade. I still shop for her from the girls section. When I saw her new friends today, they dress like 20 yr olds! Aren't 13-14yr olds still little girls? I don't want her to get influenced by them and dress like a 20yr old. What is the appropriate age for kids to start shopping from the adults section? I thought it to be around 16-17?|||At the age of thirteen or fourteen they shouldn't be aloud to only shop at little girls stores, as they technically aren't 'kids' anymore. No matter how much you wish or hope to believe that they are, they aren't. Reality is now a factor and most kids around that age do dress far to old for how they should be dressing. Though- that doesn't mean you should restrict your daughter from shopping at all the trendy teenage stores if that's what she prefers or if shes willing to pay with her own money. At thirteen or fourteen I wouldn't necessarily go out and take her to high fashion adult stores but you could start showing her the juniors and teenage sections by now. Keep in mind- this is my own opinion and it's truly up to you and your daughter to talk this topic over.|||www.skysthelimitwholesale.com has excellent prices most of the half off

|||yeah i agree with you on that, everyone is growing up too fast. but if you dont want her wearing things like that then dont buy them for her. i was raised to think until you have a job and make your own money and not an allowance my parents gave me, or money i got as a gift. when she makes her own money then she can buy the clothes that she wants to buy.|||you can let them shop in the adult section while enforcing restrictions on how bare the clothing|||well dont try the lil gurls section try the juniors no they shoudltn dress like older bc kids try to grow up to fast and dont enjoy it while it lasts while there still young and you need to sit down with ur daughter explain the situation and have a women to women conversation and wen ur daughter is really ready for the adult section go with her and tell her wat looks like she shoudl wear and wat she shoudlnt thuroughly explain why this looks good and this she shouldnt wear bc they need to no like that and ur gurl will come to respect u and ur ideas try wen they get old to go the adult but the juniors work very well it has nice clothes and for the rite age|||i dont think people think of kids being kids any more i think they design for the money. but they start in the adult section when they grow out of dresses.then its short skirts and short pants|||i started A%26amp;F when i was in 6th grade which is adult clothing. and i turned out to be a beautiful young hard working teenager, hold your child back and she will never grow. let her shop for her darn self. drop her at A%26amp;F tell her to try stuff on, then you will come by LATER and see what she has got.|||well i started shopping in the junior section when i was around 12. no...13-14 year olds aren't little girls anymore...hope i helped|||She should be able to shop in th junior section like from Dillard's, Nordstorm, Macy's, Jcpenny's, Bloomingdales, %26amp; so on. Some other great stores for her is Wetseal, American Eagle, Abercrombie or Abercrombie Kids, Hollister, %26amp; Delia's. I think she's @ the right age for that. I've been wearing juniors close since I was like almost 13.|||the appropriate age is 11-12, or at least junior's section. she is not a little girl anymore, in fact, she should be shopping for herself. anyways, she shold not be shopping in the girl's section anymore, so stop that and buy her some nice stuff, at american eagle, or abercrombie and fitch, or hollister.
