Shopping for clothes as a teenager is a serious and most importantly, hard thing to do. It’s not just about covering up well (yes), it’s about getting the message across without even opening your mouth.
Your outfit can say, “I’m fashionable,” or “I rolled out of bed looking like this (but I still look great),” or even “I’m too cool to care about fashion….. But at the same time I kind of care.” We’ve all been through it haven’t we?
Whether you like trends from TikTok,Instagram it could be comfy clothes or sporty styles or you just need a brand for school days, there are brands out there that just get it.
So instead of spending hours flipping through the pages, here’s your ultimate guide to the 15 best clothing brands for teens in 2025. Grab your phone, money, and maybe your mom’s credit card (just kidding…).
1. Hollister
Let’s start with this brand. Hollister has been hanging on to the teen fashion scene since the early 2000s, and they’re still going strong. Their jeans have become legendary in teen fashion (ask literally anyone), their hoodies are a real hit, and they’ve figured out how to add a California (relaxed) vibe to their items.
2. PacSun
PacSun is, in short, the soul of the West Coast. Whether it’s baggy-sleeved jeans, t-shirts, or an outfit that says, “Yeah, I surf sometimes” (even if you don’t), PacSun has you covered. Bonus points for their collaborations – they’ve collaborated with everyone from The Simpsons to Kendall to Kylie.
3. Nike
Nike is a whole separate culture.Even if you don’t like sports style, you should definitely have some Nike stuff. Because comfort always wins. Nike sweatshirts and sneakers are legendary items. Plus, their limited edition releases like collaborations with Travis Scott or Billie Eilish lend serious credibility.
4. Brandy Melville
If your style is casual and you’re really into things straight from Instagram, Brandy Melville is your happy place. The only downside? Their “one size fits all” policy, which has been controversial for years. But if that size fits you, Brandy Melville’s basic pieces are chic.

Forever 21 is short for “cheap and cheerful.” If you want to try a trend for a season without spending hundreds of dollars, F21 is the right place for you. Quality may vary, but at these prices, quantity is more important than quality.
The prices are really very favorable so every teenager must check out their collections.

It was once considered the “store of 2008”, but Aero has actually made a comeback with their awesome new collections. Their t- shirts are cultish, and their joggers and hoodies are ideal for lazy days.
14. Champion
Champion has gone from sportswear to streetwear in record time. Their hoodies, sweatshirts and logo t-shirts are simple but always relevant. It’s proof that logos will never go out of style.
15. Free People
If your style leans towards more quirky, flowing and a little bit weird, Free People is your dream brand. Their clothes are more expensive, but they strike a balance between festival wear and casual wear. Also, their outdoor clothing line (FP Movement) is very underrated.
