These are the 10 clothing brands that teens are obsessed with

Despite filing for bankruptcy in 2017 and being saddled with debt, teen retailer Rue21 is still winning over the hearts of teen shoppers. It was ranked in fifth place overall for female shoppers.

PacSun also filed for bankruptcy in 2016, but it still remains popular among teens. Continuing to attract young customers will likely put it on the path toward long-term stability.

H&M has come under scrutiny recently, being accused of failing to stay on top of trends and losing out to more fashionable rivals such as Zara and ASOS. 

However, it's still the world's second-largest retailer (after Zara's parent company Inditex) and has nearly 700 stores in the US, which means it's reaching a ton of teens.

Ralph Lauren fell out of the top 10 apparel brands for male teens from a higher-income household (meaning they earn over $100,000) for the first time. Meanwhile, Tommy Hilfiger has gained market share. 

This lower-priced and beach-friendly brand has been a bright spot for its parent company, Abercrombie & Fitch, in recent years. Since the third quarter of the fiscal year 2016, its same-store sales have grown from flat to positive.

Victoria's Secret's sister brand PINK has become one of its only areas of growth in recent years. The label is specifically targeted at teen female shoppers, selling a mix of underwear and apparel. 

According to Piper Jaffray, athletic wear continues to dominate teen fashion styles. Adidas and its biggest rival, Nike, were neck and neck for the title of males' favorite footwear brand.

Fast-fashion retailer Forever 21 continues to hold a prime spot on the list of teens' favorite brands. The store is known for its trendy and cheap designs, many of which draw inspiration from designers and the runway. In the past, it has frequently been accused of crossing the line between being inspired by a designer and copying the item entirely.

American Eagle has its sister brand Aerie to thank for its recent success. The store has taken the underwear market by storm, winning over the hearts of shoppers with its body-positive ad campaigns.

It reported record same-store sales growth for the fourth quarter of 2017 in March, marking its 15 quarter of consecutive growth. 

Though its popularity among teens has slipped in the past few years, Nike remains their top choice by a significant margin, with over double the market share of second-place American Eagle. That being said, the growth of Adidas has the company on edge.
