Is this for teens? women? what about their knit sets? most are too sporty for me but I saw one I liked and am just curious.

I have some . I’ve seen some stylish teens wear them as well.

I think both, depending on your own personal style. Some of the tops do scream “teen” to me but I have a friend who would totally wear them and my teens would not lol.

They work for anyone. My mom who is in her 40s shops by them, and so do my high school cousins.

Thanks for the link.

The tops are cute, and there's a wide variety of styles to suit just about anyone, from "frummy" to "trendy". They're pretty expensive though, IMHO.

I wish the dresses and skirts weren't so short, because they are very pretty. If I were a petite I would get them, but at 5'7" I don't think that would be a flattering length on me.

I’d say depends on style.
I just bought a top that I’m worried is too matronly...

I’m in my upper 40s and bought around 3 tops over the past 2 years. I’m 10 pounds overweight and the tops I have give coverage while looking nice too.
I’m not trendy and don’t dress with the latest fashion but I like to look nice, neat and clean.
I like a lot of tops on the link. Maybe I’ll shop for more.
I saw people 10 -15 years younger wearing yal tops last winter so I guess good for all different ages if it looks right on you.

Maybe it's just the way they are styled for the online catalog or the way the camera was set up, but they look sort of boxy/frumpy to me. Not like something a teenager or younger adult would wear.

Then again, I ever heard of them. Maybe they look nicer in person.

I used to have a couple when I was skinny and I loved them. 2 years later I don’t really like them as much. Yes there are some pretty ones but they don’t look good on me.
I’d normally wear a medium but since I gained a bunch of weight I wear a large now. Sometimes if the bust is too tight that it looks almost like a P shape from the side I have to get an even bigger size. And don’t tell me about the alterations..... 🤷‍♀️

I think a lot of them are matronly. I can't imagine a teen wearing them.

Lol I have been hearing that 80s fashion is coming back (from a professional seamstress who works for wealthy & fashionable clients). Makes sense. These boxy sweaters are similar to what pple wore back then. Coordinated knits, for sure. I have also been seeing shoulder pads in some higher end dresses lately!
