A Mom-Approved Wardrobe For Your Tough-to-Dress Tween

We adore this two-piece set from Vince Girls ($58-$68), which will get her through the end of the school year in style.

Crewcuts' striped shift dress ($53) is easy to wear and perfect for your junior prepster in crisp navy and white.

If she's made her way into the women's shoe department and starting to show an interest in (OK, or beg for . . . ) a little heel, consider this Espadrille Wedge Bootie from TOMS ($89) as a tween-appropriate transitional pick.

The ultimate Spring break swimsuit, Gap Kids' rash guard set ($35) is a way to stay covered up (with UPF 50+ protection) while still rocking a two-piece.

Appaman's high-low maxi dress ($53) goes up to a size 14, and its fun dot print is youthful without being babyish.

Exclusive to Bloomingdale's, AQUA's floral romper ($58) is easy to dress up or down for her Spring/Summer list of events.

An eyelet bomber jacket ($37) is just the right weight for in between seasons, and this one from Gap Kids comes in four muted color choices.

The crocheted detailing and swingy style of Ten Sixty Sherman's pretty top ($30) may evoke Woodstock vibes, but it's perfectly classroom-appropriate.

Rikshaw Design's hand-blocked textile pieces scream Spring/Summer, and the brand now offers a small collection devoted specifically to teens and tweens. The crisscross dress ($58) is strappy and fun while still earning Mom's (essential) seal of approval.

A cozy sweatshirt in an on-trend pineapple print ($48) features button detailing down the back.

We're secretly hoping to be able to squeeze into a size 16 of Crewcuts' pull-on pants in faded adire ($50) ourselves. Their breezy look is ideal for seaside Summer nights.

Target's C9 Champion brand is an awesome resource for tween and teen girls' athletic apparel. These woven compression shorts ($19) come in sizes XS-XXL and are available in a wide range of patterns and colors.
