Being a "tween" is considered as a special point in one's life. This is one of the most difficult and awkward stages in a person's life. In this age, the person is too old for some things yet is still too young for other things. As tweens inch toward teenage years, they develop their own personality which affects their choice of clothing and accessories like bracelets, necklaces and other fashion finds which make them one of the most sought after marketing demographic these days.
A demographic used to refer to people between the ages of 10-12, the word tween is also known as the "in-between" stage. As mentioned earlier, the child at this time is not yet considered a teen but at the same time can no longer pass as a kid as they no longer spend most of their time on playing toys and other games. Also, many changes which include social, psychological, emotional and physiological development happen rapidly among tweens which in turn helps them find their own self. As part of finding their own self, they also develop their own interest in many activities which they normally participate in.
A unique fashion style, especially among tween girls is apparent during this "in-between" stage. Television and other media greatly influence most of the clothes and accessories like bracelets, necklaces and earrings that tweens wear. Among the most favorite items among tweens which most marketers notice include knee socks, converse, and bracelets. Once popular in the 1980's, knee socks are also a great fad among tweens. Just their older counterparts, tweens also prefer knee socks which have funkier designs. There are also the converse shoes that most tweens love, no matter the gender. These converse shoes come in different designs, patterns and colors which easily captures the attention and interest of tweens. Lastly, we have bracelets which are manufactured in different colors, designs as well as variety of materials. Some of the most popular brands and types of these bracelets are the jelly bracelets, rhinestones, happy bunny, and silly bracelets.
Difficult and awkward are the two words we previously used to describe the tween stage. It is in this time that the person wants to grow faster making them easily bored and very difficult to entertain. However, this problem can be easily remedied by providing tweens with crafty and rewarding activities which can easily capture their attention. Making accessories like bracelets and necklaces is one example of rewarding activities we can introduce to our tweens. We know that tweens love wearing accessories so why not teach them to make their own, right? Tweens who have their own unique personality will surely enjoy making paper clip necklaces. This is done by connecting 25 paper clips into a chain and wrapping pictures of your interest and wrapping the pictures around the paper clips. Friendship bracelets can also be made using colorful embroidery thread which can be mixed with different beads. Finally, tweens can also try making Italian bracelets which gives a free hand at designing giving tweens the chance to show off their own style.
Finding the uniqueness inside is what is important for people in the tween stage in order to help them overcome the difficulty and awkwardness of said stage and at the same time stand out among all their peers.
