Droves of tween girls went, with their BFFs (and often their brave parents), to the newHannah Montana movie this past weekend. While the singing and dancing of course took center stage, both the tweens, decked out in their Miley Cyrus fan gear, and their parents were also paying close attention to the surprisingly modest outfits in the movie - which seems to be making modesty's comeback in the tween fashion category official. Lead by tweensetter franchises such as High School Musical,iCarly and tween queen Hannah Montana, girls are finally backing away from the the belly-shirts and short-shorts of years past.
Why are tweens no longer aspiring to dress like Britney? One reason is that in response to criticism from concerned parents, many tween entertainment properties are now featuring more innocent (and wacky) looks. As such, tweens are seeing their role models wearing cardigans instead of tube tops and they want to do the same. Additionally, tweens these days are much closer to their parents and are hyper-conscious of anything that could upset them.
