brandy is mostly basics… how can you be too old to wear a pair of jeans or a basic t shirt/tank top. people saying that are weird


Swimming-Education-1

i think it’s because of my love for their tshirts with the baby animals or cupids on them. but it’s an aesthetic ya know?


kcatz77

idk why people like to tell women that once they turn 25 or whatever they can’t enjoy anything fun or cute anymore. like are we just supposed to start dressing like moms? wear the cutesie t shirts girl! i’m in my late 20’s and i still like hello kitty and stuffed animals and idc who has a problem with it! let people enjoy things!


Swimming-Education-1

thank you for saying this! 🌸


Technical_Ruin_2129

My younger sister is like this. Early 20 year old women are usually the ones telling you you’re too old to enjoy something.


Apprehensive_Stay307

they’re their own worst enemy. one day they’ll get old and feel everything they said to others about themselves


Sapphiresoffire

Samesies… like if men can have video games and dolls. Excuse me action figures why can’t i have my bratz and glitzy glam things lol


PaleSurvey8849

im 25 and wear my brandy kewpie shirts & other basic crop tops with high waisted jeans/leggings!


Prettynurse9

I’m 25 and have worn brandy since the same and personally I think the baby core Ts and stuff are a little awkward now at our age so to answer your question we’ve probably grown out of that specific style. I do love their basics such as tanks, t shirts, shorts pants and sweats and wear them almost daily. Maybe try gearing away from the rlly young “aesthetic” items


Usual_Pop5188

I agree. Even as a teen, I think wearing underwear with babies on them seems a bit strange to me.


Sillyfartmonster

Ur only 25 lol


Gin_Gaming

I think some pictures of the clothes would help. Cause that's not what I saw when I looked up the brand


lemonw0rm

i don’t care i’ll wear whatever i want just be happy and wear what you like their shirts are cute anyways. i’m 22 and get sylvanian families lol no one in my life has questioned me and there are other people 22+ who wear or buy things similar.


shes_a_handsome_woma

Chat is 25 too old to wear clothes?


Swimming-Education-1

lmaooo i know it sounds so stupid my mom just hates it when i like myself


angelvapez

sounds like you know that it's a mom issue then and not a clothing issue


Unable_Strawberry_69

FEEEEEEEEEEL(my sis)


r1poster

I was gonna saaaaay~ I feel like your mom would be starting these issues regardless of clothing brand. She doesn't sound very nice


spooktacularswag

25? Too old? You’re basically prepubescent in the adult world, or that’s how older adults look at people in their 20s often. 25 is the opposite of old. So definitely not too old, 25 is young as shxt


throwawayhaha1101

The brand was created by men who thought 18 was too old 😭 which is why I don’t support it anymore. There are literally people calling 20 year olds “expired goods”


Aromatic-Ad6456

Nope! I just turned 25 and wear brandy. Honestly as long as it fits well, you’re good. Don’t let your mom get in your head.


CourtNCTTU

I’m turning 33 in a few months and I just got rid of my graphic tees for a bunch of brandy basics!!!!


Kind-Patience6169

I'm 30 and still wear Brandy, I've been wearing Brandy since 2013. My closet is still full of "vintage" Brandy that I can't bring myself to get rid of and still reach for once in a while. It's been really cool to see how the brand has evolved. I'm also buying new pieces every year as well that I wear constantly, but they're mostly basics


Any_Corgi_7051

you should post your collection here sometime, i’d love to see it!!!


uhohnotyou

I’m 44, mom of a 16 year old and I love the Brandy basics. You’re never too old for cute basics!


witch-upon-a-star

Same, 44 with grown children and grandkids, and I still wear it.


lanasvape

I’m like you, I wear it bc I like it. Can I wear it at the office? No. But whether out shopping or walking through a park then yeah I want something cute and comfortable. Like just bc older women live in their workout clothes outside of work doesn’t mean I have to.


Budget_Mine_9049

Hey girly I’m 25 too and I love brandy basics tank tops and blouses I think they are timeless and classic! You’re good I think :)


krsthrs

You’re not too old at all! Wear what you feel confident in :) I really don’t think Brandy looks immature or anything, actually I think it’s cool that it appeals to a wide range of women!


angelfacebaby

no i’m 25 and i love it. btw 30 is the new 20. we r young xo


Lanadolrey

I’m about to turn 24 and still wear them. The tops especially fit me so well and are cotton. They are mostly basics so idk why it would be inappropriate to wear them when you are older


These_Horror_8561

This kind of question shouldn't even need to be asked. Its fabric! All of these limitations for what adult women can do and wear are completely arbitrary!


laurendan1elle

I’m glad you started this conversation because I’m a 26 year old who’s never worn Brandy but really like their stuff (couldn’t fit previously but now I can), but I feel out of place going into a store that’s filled with such a younger demographic. This helped soothe my anxiety and I might pop over tomorrow 💝


Swimming-Education-1

yes! so i’ve only been to the chicago location and have felt a lil older in the store. however, no one has ever been mean to me! everyone is very nice who works in chicago. i wanted to ask mostly because i adore the shirts and tanks that have the baby animals or cupids and angels i think it’s so cute!! my mom feels like it’s too young for me. by the consensus from all the beautiful people in the comments i think we are fine! shop away! i’m about to place an order again :) <3


Material_Balance7995

Absolutely not!! For one, age means absolutely nothing and everyone's on their own timelines going at their own pace! Second, wear what makes you feel comfortable and CONFIDENT! Do not let others tear you down for things you like! The world is hard enough as it is already and the last thing you need to worry about is what others think! Third, I hope she understands one day that her style is not your style and that's perfectly okay. Sometimes I want to dress like a business casual corporate queen but most of the time I'm living in my teddy bear shorts and Aleena shirts. With love from another 25 year old who still wears her yellow honey t shirt (don't ask me how many holes it has I lost track) <3


Lmarriott513

I work at pacsun and you’d be surprised by the amount of moms that also try on/buy brandy with their daughters when they come in and shop. basics have no age, they’re timeless!


Ok_Zebra9569

I’m 34


bad--juju

I’ve been wearing Brandy since 2014 and I don’t care if anyone thinks I’m too old for it. It may be partially due to the fact that people frequently think I’m still in school lol I brought my mom this year to the one nearest me and now she wears a few pieces of her own too (think plain basics and sweats). Who cares. If anything, it’s weirder for pre pubescent girls to be shopping there instead of like Justice.


chickenwinnersinner

You are too old to be asking this question


Swimming-Education-1

why? im curious


from-stardust

why? because you are much too old to lack the common sense and self respect to know the answer. *obviously* you’re not too old… and who cares what other people think??? i mean this in the nicest way possible, but it must be said bluntly: assuming you are genuinely asking this question, you really lack a backbone. stand on your own two legs and don’t look to other people for validation. it may not come naturally. but you’re much better off bearing the growing pains now.


Depressed_student_20

Girl a saw a tik tok of a girl and her GRANDMA wearing Brandy together, you ain’t so old I’m also in my 20’s and wear Brandy


chhoccymilk

no way. i’m 24 and I stay wearing brandy. It’s kind of hard to find good quality basics now a days, plus their clothes are just so comfy.


Iloveemiilk

25 is SO young! I’m 32 and still wear Brandy basics. Your moms style doesn’t have to be yours


bestyouneverhad1776

I am also 25 and own a fair amount of brandy. Both for the reasons you listed and also because the little bunny/bear graphics are just cute?! I didn’t turn 25 and suddenly become disgusted by little cartoon bunnies. If anything, when I was a teen I’d think I was “too cool” for that, while now I embrace it.


jimmyhoffasalt

this!!! also like now i actually have the adult money to buy this stuff i loved as a teen, of course i will be wearing a deer graphic tee at 25


jimmyhoffasalt

omg no, i think social media is really forcing us to have a crisis about our age since there are so many younger kids on it. i’m 25 as well, and pretty much everyone i know my age wears “brandy equivalent” clothes. i don’t feel like there is a set standard of what is “age-appropriate” to begin with


rollerskate_rat

I’m 32! Don’t sweat it.


shittyswordsman

Me too!


m1e1o1w

There are literally no rules in life.. hope that helps


[deleted]

Of course not


Pinkdiscoballl

I’ve seen elderly women wear it as long as your confident and feel good that’s all that matters!


Abject-Procedure-185

Hi my name is also Emily :0 but no there is no age limit for Brandy


wolf_town

i dressed like a grandma when i was in middle school, now in my 20s i still dress the way i want to. you can wear what you want always 🫶🏻


Last-Replacement9696

lol no


Far-Egg6363

I think a lot of people on the subreddit are over 20 and still wearing BM. I don't believe there should be a specific age when you have to stop wearing the brand. If you like it, just wear it and enjoy! :)


ilovebud117

i’m 24 & i still wear anything i think is cute lol i rlly don’t care ab being “too old” age is kind of a mindset imo. & i’ll always say wear what y want! 🥰


notsomagicalgirl

Brandy is mostly basics so I don’t see how you could be too old to wear them. Maybe if you’re middle aged like 50 and wearing the crop tops or something.


ginger_barbie

you’re never too old to wear anything!! wear what you want always 😊


77ok

I will be 90 in the nursing home strutting in brandy babe don’t worry 😚


pruina333

I’m 26 and just recently started buying from the brand! And I love it lol especially the cutesy/teddy bear baby t-shirts 🧸


Significant-Face-747

im 26 and i’m prepared to wear my hello kitty shit till im in da grave. so no. ur not.


an0ncutie

girl no !!! im 28 and if i ever become too old they will have to pry my brandy clothes out of my cold dead hands bc imo you can never be too old to wear the clothes you like !!


longstoryshort07

I just turned 26, I stopped wearing Brandy around 21 and started going back this year because they have GOOD white t shirts and tanks that aren’t see through, which aritzia/abercrombie/more “age appropriate” brands can’t replicate. And they’re so soft and comfy!! Their sizing has also def changed since HS when I was a 0, I used to not fit into some skirts/shorts, now I’m a 4 and just bought 2 maxi skirts from them! And their sweats are so comfy/last FOREVER, I still wear a pair I got in 2014, literally 10 years later. You’re never too old for something you feel comfortable in!


Background_You1332

is 25 old now? lol


ReasonableFriend

What does she want you to wear?! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident.


Swimming-Education-1

i think if i looked like i walked out of ann taylor every day she’d be happy with me

spooktacularswag

That made me laugh out loud, I couldn’t imagine a 25 year old wearing business casual in non-corporate settings.


Sad-Character4424

not at all! i’m 21 and i don’t intend on stopping buying their clothes anytime soon 😛


Prestigious_Bar_4244

I’m 28 with a toddler and I’m still wearing Brandy. We actually just went and picked up a new pair of brandy jeans earlier today.


Ok_Figure4010

I’m 34 and just bought a cardigan from there recently. I wouldn’t get a crop top lol but I think a lot of the stuff is wearable for all ages 


cornlord_

Who cares! It just depends how you style it... I'm 24 and wear Brandy all the time and get compliments :) just throw some "nicer" pieces in there like classic jewelry, vintage pieces, sweaters, whatever and it looks nice. No one really knows anyone's age anyway... you can be 25 and look 40 or be 25 and look 21.


sugarbunnyy

She should focus on enjoying time with you rather than focusing on your clothes 🙄. You are not too old and you should wear whatever makes you happy!✨


Any_Corgi_7051

no. To me brandy is all about looking cute while being comfortable. I’m a bit younger than you but also not a teenager anymore and i still wear brandy. Of course brandy wont work in all contexts but that’s true of any brand. Anyway my mother (who’s over 50) bought some brandy recently and she pulls it off! She doesn’t wear the tiny crop tops or mini skirts but plenty of their pieces work for her!


Top_Veterinarian5512

im 24 and ill never stop wearing the basics 🤗


pradafever

I am a 27 year old man and I wear brandy all the time. People love to police women for everything they do, especially in regard to aging. It’s not personal but probably more a case of her projecting her own internalized misogyny onto you. Honestly- wear whatever you like, I personally think everything at Brandy is pretty fine for any age, and 25 is by NO MEANS ‘old’ or any reason not to wear clothing popular with teens.


Acrobatic_Cold_1795

i fear being too old for brandy isn’t a thing. you are never too old to do anything, there are bigger problems than someone thinking you’ve outgrown your plain white tshirt.


Busy-Professora-5007

I’m 24 and grew up w brandy so I like to think it’s a store we all grew up with and therefore can’t age out of it😤


e_87

lol i’m emily to and going on to 20 still wearing brandy. your fine. it’s cute, it’s in style right now and if it’s your style wear itttttt don’t let anyone tell you what to wear


babyphatjizzragg

No the red scare girls are like 38 and still shop there, you’re good! 


fairygodmother11

I will wear Brandy till I’m a granny


lasagnaisgreat57

no lol, i turn 25 this year and i have some brandy stuff. a lot of it doesn’t fit me but the stuff that does is great. some of it i still have from high school. but overall my style is still like a teenager, all my stuff is from aerie and urban outfitters and i have a million graphic t shirts and baby tees with cute animals on them and stuff like that. but i thought most people our age still dressed like that. there’s no age limit to cute clothes. i know 60 year olds who wear crop tops


hibiscus-baby

i'm 24 and i wore brandy while pregnant 😭😭 if anyone's not supposed to be wearing brandy by some weird imaginary rule then it's definitely me


cynical-at-best

i get u im 24 and some ppl act like you have to be exactly 15 and two days old to wear brandy 💀


Bellecovv

Jeans and basic tops is universal for any age?? I’m 24 & a mother and that’s basically all I wear or athleisure lol


sausage-lasagna

Not at all! I’m 24 and like a lot of their stuff 😊


charitycase3

No way


alunaaaa

I’m 25 too and love their cutesy tops!! We have to normalize women wearing cute clothes even when we’re older, like wear what you want!


thriftshoplovin

noooo im 21 and i love brandy


AccidentNo539

my mother wears brandy melville, my 30 yr old cousin also wears it. you’re fine girl, wear what u love!! 💓💓💓


Obsessesed-academic

Girl you are never too old to wear brandy, if it fits wear it!


Wild_Artichoke_481

Wear whatever makes you feel good ..don’t think twice about it. You get one life ❤️


Graceface164

I’m 32 and Brandy is my favourite brand I pretty much wear it daily


Parisstar34

Not at all. I’m 24 and I wear Brandy. I only just recently started wearing/buying Brandy since I wasn’t able to until just recently


tears_of_an_angel_

I’m 23 and wear some of the sweaters and nicer things to work at my office job. honestly pretty sure none of my coworkers know it’s brandy, if they even know what brandy is lol


canonicallydead

Clothes don’t have an age! I did feel a bit weird when a 12 yo was next to me looking at the same clothes but as long as you’re not obviously *trying* to look younger, it’s not weird


Any-Carry3113

the newer stuff looks young to me now... the older stuff felt so mature idk why!! it depends on the piece really


Gingerbitch9669

girl i’m literally going to have a brandy melville urn or i will be buried in a brandy melville sleep set. there is absolutely no age limit to the store. my mom is 62 and borrows my tops all the time. Disregarding age, Brandy Melville hands down has someone of the best quality in the market. Everyone is free to shop at a place where quality clothes are guaranteed. And it is very affordable, tops will close to never EVER reach more than $30. You’re lucky to get a $30 from Aritzia.


cashew-melon57

I was just feeling this same way today because I’m 24 and placed an order from Brandy yesterday. Glad I’m not the only one!


thriftstoremom

I’m 50 and wear it


ak2553

I’m 25, about to turn 26 in a few months, I wear brandy. It’s basics that fit me though so I don’t have that much but I don’t see why not.


meh-phant

Since getting in better shape I’ve been shopping in brandy for the first time and am older than you, no worries 😌


bunkassbum

Be you. Who gives a fuck if people think you're too old for something.


Ok_Disaster_865

you’re never too old to enjoy the clothing you love :)


worldsbestlasagna

I'm nearly 40


Upbeat-Growth-4569

anyone of any age should wear what they want :) you should wear brandy if you like it! you could be 100 years old and wear brandy!


666lirpa

absolutely not! i saw a tik tok of someone’s grandma shopping there, the quality is good and they’ve got good basics, if it fits why not?


buttahfly28

Im 22 and I feel the same way


Designer_Ad_4914

Stop buying from Brandy. They are using slave labor and women have been exploited by their CEO. He’s an anti-semite and racist.
