Tween-Approved Styles at The Ridge Kids: A Day of Shopping With My Daughter

Yesterday, my tween daughter joined me at The Ridge Kids for the day — and to be honest, I wasn’t sure how it would go. Like many tweens, she often thinks our store feels more like her personal closet than a boutique! But as soon as she started browsing the racks, she lit up. For the first time in a while, she was genuinely excited about the brands and styles we’re carrying this season.

What caught her attention? The super soft fabrics and elevated styles from some of our newest arrivals. Her absolute favorites were the corduroy cargo pant and the bow sweater — both versatile pieces that strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. She even let me snap photos of her in the outfits (a rare “yes” from a tween who usually avoids mom’s camera at all costs).

This season, she fell in love with a few standout brands we’re so excited to have in store:

✨ Rylee & Cru – Known for their soft fabrics and timeless designs, perfect for everyday wear.
✨ Katie J NYC – Trendy, elevated pieces designed just for tweens who want a little New York edge in their style.
✨ Tenaly – Fun, fresh, and fashion-forward outfits that made her smile from the moment she tried them on.

Hearing her say, “This is one of the best seasons of clothing for my age!” was all the confirmation I needed that these brands truly hit the mark.

At The Ridge Kids, we work hard to curate collections that make kids feel confident and stylish, while keeping comfort a priority. Whether your tween is looking for everyday basics, cozy sweaters, or statement pieces, this season’s arrivals have something they’ll love.

Come visit us in-store in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to shop our latest collections, or browse online to see the newest tween fashion arrivals from brands like Rylee & Cru, Katie J NYC, and Tenaly.

Your tween might just surprise you with how excited they are to shop — mine certainly did!
