If there was a prize for “hardest to dress,” tweens would be the clear winners. They’re too old for cute little girl clothes, but still too young for even some of the outfits marketed to teens. They want to be on top of their fashion game (because let’s face it, the 20s are hard enough without worrying about your clothes looking uncool), but as parents, we’re always the ones making the choices in at the end of the day – that is, the people with the wallets. And there just aren’t many options that can satisfy both parties.

Finally, clothing retailer Maurices has heard calls from frustrated parents of equally frustrated teenagers. They have just unveiled their clothing brand for pre-teens: Evsie. He’s tall enough to feel sophisticated, but still young enough to make them look… well, not 16. The pieces they introduced are absolutely adorable, and even better, affordable.

“Evsie makes her confident, stylish and happy to do exactly what she loves to do freely and with all her heart. Evsie is fashion designed for tweens with comfortable clothes designed for movement and ease,” Maurices says in a So whenever they’re torn between little and big kid hobbies like tweens do, Evsie has them covered — literally.

We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites from the collection and we think you— and your tween, yay! – will love them as much as we do.
