When is it time to stop shopping in Juniors?

[Beautiful]

I would say around 22/23. But that's when I stopped shopping in those stores so much (ie. Macy's). Now, I shop more in stores like Nordstroms so that I can get better quality clothes that are even better trend wise, etc. than the clothes in the Juniors dept at stores like Macy's. I may get one or two pieces from the Junior's dept at Nordstroms every once in a while, ubt only the trendy ones and they fit me b/c I am like a size 0.

I still shop in the juniors section. I can often find an exact replica of a designer piece but for half the price. It really depends on what you buy. I've seen things that would be way too mature for me and then i've seen things that scream 14 year old. (i'm 27)

I'm 26, and I always shop in the juniors section because the clothes are cuter and they are more flattering on my figure but for my work clothing I mainly shop in the misses section..... I don't think there should be age limitation I just buy what fits me the best.

I still shop in juniors sometimes too. I think you should buy whatever suits your style and go from there...like the others mentioned, I don't think it's appropriate to dress like a child, but I find there are really classy and sassy clothes in the juniors section. I especially love my TJMaxx and Marshall's. I shop in misses too, but sometimes I feel like I look too grown up!

The juniors department carries the clothes that fit, therefore this is where I shop; and as long as it's not the juniors department at JCPenny, there is a great selection of work and play wear. I don't know about the Penny's anywhere else, but everyone I come across is totally ghetto.

I had to LOL....this is sooooo true.

Things like this make me so glad I don't live in the US. I think this would just make my head explode, if I was expected to stop shopping in a certain section at a certain age.
Here from around the age of 11/12 onwards, everyone just shops in the same place. Most shops near me don't even have a 'workplace/office clothes' section, everythings just thrown together. It makes it much easier, imo. Of course, there are a few clothes shops aimed a teens, but here at least, no one really pays much attention to that. Like, me(16) and my mum
(40's) and my sister(26) all tend to shop in the same places and 'borrow'(steal) each others clothes.
Much less head-wrecking.

I can't even remember when I stopped shopping in the junior's section. It hasn't occurred to me... I don't think I've even looked at the junior's section since I was 13. But I "developed" really young and always tried to looked older than I was!

this is a good thread! I still shop some items on the juniors section. But I also have my business clothes that I wear to work everyday... And I do have funny saying t shirts that I wear on the weekend for a casual day at home... no i kissed your boyfriend ones though ha .

Well I used to rely on the juniors sections, namely JcPenney, for clothes...try and get as many items as possible on clearances. I was always conscientous of my body type though-nothing that bares the midriff and nothing that is too low-rise or short. Now that I work in a mall, I shop a lot of different stores. There's one store called Papaya which is obviously geared towards younger people, with plenty of those "Your Boyfriend Likes Me" HOH-knockoff shirts, but they also have a ton of work clothes for me and lots of cute dresses for next to nothing. I shop Express on their clearance sales because the quality is amazing-I'd rather pay $10 for one of their basic bra camisoles because it fits well, doesn't itch, and doesn't unravel in the wash. (I got the gold Versace-inspired dress from Holiday for $21...marked down from $150) I am the queen of the clearance racks, especially at A&F. I can tell a big difference between them and Hollister...the shirts are much more comfortable, they shrink less, and they are not as small (not to mention velvet taping in the polos!). I admit, I did buy a shirt from there that said "I am SO worth it" but it was for the irony and hilarity factor. I own a ton of VS Pink shirts as well, since they are the most comfortable tees out there. Well after not having been into a JcPenney's in well over a year, I went in a couple of months ago and the juniors department was all Southpole and that kinda stuff which is NOT my style. The Bon's juniors department is the same, with Baby Phat, Dereon, Apple Bottoms, etc. (we Seattleites still refer to Macy's as The Bon) Occasionally, I could maybe find a good deal. For now, I will stick to just getting clearance fuzzy socks and Soffe shorts at JcPenney's (or maybe a cute swimsuit).

I tend though to get a lot of my basics at Aeropostale. I can get a complete work outfit there for $25 (between the $10 polos and the skinny capris that are usually $15 on sale), their polos fit me the best (I have a slightly curvy figure and I like to show it off tastefully), the clearances are insane, and many items are things that my mom, who is 52, could wear. Not too many logos (and the ones they have are done well or are very discreet) and great sizing.

And I'm 19 BTW

I think it is all about fit and form. I am well past high school but I am still the same size so I do buy size 0 pants at Express when I need basic black pants in a hurry since these come in short/regular/long lengths and don't need to be altered.

No "I kissed your boyfriend" or trendy baby tees for me though. My husband wouldn't like it too much, LOL!

I see myself still shopping in the Juniors department until I'm an old lady

Unfortunatly, a lot of clothes in the womens, misses and petites departments are so boring and plain.

 

[_ohmygosh]

I'm 18 now, and i've stopped shopping in juniors when round the start of highschool (13)..

but then again, I don't really shop in department stores, a bit boring, i like my boutiques!

If they fit me, i'd wear juniors.. I'm 25 and don't like the women's section and often looking longingly at the juniors. it's easy to say at the age of 20 that you'll stop in five years but keep in mind that one never feels old. Sure, I wouldn't wear anything silly but I don't like mature clothes yet. I always look very pulled together and professional but I do like to stay trendy.
