Online Catalogs

Traditional paper catalogs are far outnumbered by online catalogs. Numerous brick-and-mortar stores offer online shopping, including the following retailers:

• Dr.Jays.com caters to teens interested in urban and hip hop clothing with brands like Baby Phat, Puma, and House of Dereon.
• American Eagle Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch are hot names in teen fashion.
• Urban Outfitters appeals more to the college set, with clothes for men and women.
• PACSUN and Hollister Co. offer casual, surfer cool.
• Torrid features trendy plus size teen clothing.
• Hot Topic is known for its punk and gothic clothing.
• Gap and Old Navy sell classic styles like khakis and fleece.
• Buckle specializes in denim, while also offering shirts, shoes, and accessories.
• Visit the juniors's sections of major department stores like Kohls, Sears, and JCPenney for a wide selection of the latest styles.

Advantages of Catalog Shopping

• You'll find a wider selection of styles, colors, and sizes than you can find in a single local store.
• It's the ultimate in convenience shopping. You never have to leave your home, or even your room when you have a teenager clothes catalog in front of you.
• You can take advantage of cute clothes for teens from stores that aren't available in your area.
• Shop at any time. You won't have to worry about fitting a trip to the mall in between school and soccer practice.
• Catalogs are a great way to create wish lists for special occasions. Circle the items you want in the pages of a traditional catalog or create an online wish list.

Disadvantages of Catalog Shopping

• Shipping costs can add up and make your new outfit more expensive than planned.
• Some catalogs will only accept credit cards as payment. For most teens, this means having to ask to use a parent's credit card.
• You don't get to try clothes on before buying them. Even when you know your size, the cut and fit can vary widely from designer to designer. In addition, some clothes just don't look as good face-to-face. What seems like a cute bright pink shirt in a photograph may be blindingly fluorescent when it arrives.
• Returns can be inconvenient and may cost extra for shipping. Check the return policy of any company before placing a catalog order.
• Going shopping can be a fun social activity. Clicking through the images on your computer will never be the same as hitting the mall with your best friends.
