teenwear

Adolescent apparel category

Teenwear is clothing designed for and marketed to teenagers—typically ages 13 to 19.

The term appears mainly in retail and fashion industry contexts: The department store expanded its teenwear section.

Like kidswear and menswear, it's a commercial category rather than everyday vocabulary.
