It seemed like upgrading our closets and style aesthetics became of prime importance during self-isolation and with nothing else to do, we resorted to spending thousands of dollars on online retail stores. From clothing to beauty tools and everything in between, we were hooked onto our screens scrolling through the newly added items or the sale section; either way placing a tonne of orders.

While doing this, I discovered some clothing websites which turned out to be some of the hottest places for every kind of aesthetic for teens to shop at. It only makes sense that these stores have a wide range of options to choose from and cater to most, if not every type of style aesthetic. The Teen Edit created a short list of the most trending clothing stores for teens, fifteen to be exact.
