Lululemon, Aviator Nation, AE and abercrombie is what I have seen mostly.
I noticed a lot of the kids were wearing aviator Nation so I was going to get some for my daughters birthday.
Oh my, $$$$$$
I just can’t spend that money on an ugly lightening bolt sweatshirt haha but some of these kids are head to toe aviator nation. Do parents really spend $600 on one outfit for an 11 year old?!?!?!

At the middle school drop off the kids all wear black leggings and a hoodie sweatshirt. I rarely (if ever) see girls wearing jeans. Occasionally a girl will wear baggy sweatpants. Coats are very rare also (they have access to their lockers, but apparently a lot of them get dropped off and don't like to have to stop at their lockers). They wear addidas, converse or Vans sneakers. I rarely see Uggs, but on occasion that is the only boots I've noticed.
I m honestly so surprised as I don't think this look is particularly flattering. I'm not so sure about brands. My daughter is so clueless and couldn't care less, so I try to keep a look out for her.
Last year- when DD was in 5th grade- that was the uniform. Leggings and an oversized hoodie. Everyday. DH and I would say to her- why do you never wear jeans? Or anything with some shape?
This year she has more jeans than any human should own. She wears them every day that she doesn't have gym.
Granted, they are torn to shreds, and not one pair isn't ripped up, but I was surprised she started wanting jeans this year.

My son tells me about kids in his school that go in dressed head to toe in Gucci and exclusives for their dress down days. 
ETA: I wonder if it’s real or knock offs. Lol. It’s mixed with lower to upper middle class to super wealthy in these towns. So you don’t know.

The sad thing is that at the middle school age some kids think they NEED to wear these things and parents who don’t have the money for it will still buy it because they think they have to.
I’m raising mine to know they don’t NEED these things. I have open and honest discussions about finances and trade offs. If my daughter asked for a $300 sweatshirt I don’t say no….I explain what she will give up for that sweatshirt. But also teaching them that it is ok to splurge every now and then. I worry about this generation and their spending. When I was in middle school it was so different. I wore my matching pants and windbreaker and thought I was cool haha or even my starter jacket haha times have changed.

Right??!! I would never!!
I hate to spend a lot on my kids clothes, especially my DD, because she's so fickle. What's "cool" right now won't be in a few months and then all of that expensive clothing just sits in the closet untouched.

Yes! Last year she was all about hoodies. And there were like $50 each from Abercrombie, etc
And now she won't touch them.
Such a waste!

Yep!! I feel your pain! lol
My daughter has a closet full of Abercrombie tops she got for Xmas 2020. Now she refuses to wear them because "nobody wears Abercrombie now, Mom".  Good grief.

What are “cool” clothing brands for middle school girls?
My 9th graders wear leggings, hoodies, and fleeces every day. Many wear converse shoes or just regular sneakers.
The few girls who wear jeans wear oversized ones with huge chunks taken out. They’re not ripped; they are missing entire sections.

Brandy Melville is a brand my 14 year old likes. They have cute stuff, but it's all one size, which is so weird.

Ummm I wear leggings and sweatshirts everyday. If I didn’t work from home or when I do go out somewhere with friends if it’s not summer then it’s usually leggings and a sweater with some kind of boot.
I hate jeans so I get why kids don’t want to wear them.
My dd is in 5th grade and she switches from Jeans and leggings now. But before that she would never wear jeans just leggings.
I am actually surprised on how many people care what their kids look like when they go to school and I’m not saying you it’s just reminding me of a thread I saw on Facebook when someone said is it OK for kids to wear pajama pants to school and so many people are like no they should be in jeans they should be dressed up blah blah blah blah blah. Sweats only on gym day (my 3rd grade son right now refuses to wear jeans or he wears are sweat pants) I definitely will be the parents that doesn’t care what my kids wear if it’s sweats or jeans or even pjs.

I don't get the pjs thing, AT.ALL and don't get why people can't just change into pants. There are SO many different options out there to be comfortable. Honestly, the majority of the pants I wear are stretchy now. Even my jeans are stretchy and that is why I love wearing them.

I think it goes back to the old saying, dress for success. We were always told when I was younger that we had to dress for school because it puts us in a different mindset. Who knows lol. School starts so early now I'm just happy they aren't naked. I can barely see what they are wearing when they leave lol.

I am not one to spend a ton of money on clothes (the ones described happen to be inexpensive), but middle school is a tough place (emotionally, socially and academically) and I think it is helpful to fit in. You mention your son is in 3rd grade. When he is in 6th it may be a whole new world.

We dressed for everything it seems, school, going out to eat, church, etc.
I don’t know about school starting any earlier as I was out of the house at 6:45 everyday as my day started just as early as they do now. It’s a different (lazy and actually disgusting if they are not even cleaning up to go out for the day) mindset for these kids and I have seen adults out too with pajamas.

I went to Catholic school most of my life so I had an entirely different experience of having to wear a skirt every day. But as for the pajama pants, I definitely went thru a Skidz phase in middle school/early high school and those are essentially pajama pants!
My girls wear leggings only but they are super skinny and frankly jeans do not fit them well. But I always think of jeans as dressing down. I actually feel like leggings with a pair of boots and a sweater looks nicer than jeans.

Yes, dressing down was jeans when I was a kid. My dad would come home from work and on the weekends wear jeans. We didn't wear jeans to church or dinner or anyplace that was considered to not be that casual. Now I dress up or down my jeans and wear them any wear as well as leggings.

Brandy Melville is a brand my 14 year old likes. They have cute stuff, but it's all one size, which is so weird.
I never heard of Brandy Melville, so I went on the site. I clicked on a few items and they were all size Small! That is so weird! Talk about minimizing their customer base! I guess that explains why I neve heard of the brand -- my daughter doesn't fit in their clothes.

What are “cool” clothing brands for middle school girls?
My DD is still little but I see the older girls at her school and honestly they look borderline feral. Nothing is coordinated, their hair isn’t brushed. And then they have golden goose sneakers so you know they’re not poor, just choosing to look unkempt. I’m sure I’ll eat my words one day and all my effort in sending my DD to school perfectly coordinated down to her bow and shoes will be for nothing. But she’s never getting a $600 sweatshirt.

Coats are very rare also (they have access to their lockers, but apparently a lot of them get dropped off and don't like to have to stop at their lockers). They wear addidas, converse or Vans sneakers. I rarely see Uggs, but on occasion that is the only boots I've noticed.
I m honestly so surprised as I don't think this look is particularly flattering. I'm not so sure about brands. My daughter is so clueless and couldn't care less, so I try to keep a look out for her.
Ummm I wear leggings and sweatshirts everyday. If I didn’t work from home or when I do go out somewhere with friends if it’s not summer then it’s usually leggings and a sweater with some kind of boot.
I hate jeans so I get why kids don’t want to wear them.
My dd is in 5th grade and she switches from Jeans and leggings now. But before that she would never wear jeans just leggings.
I am actually surprised on how many people care what their kids look like when they go to school and I’m not saying you it’s just reminding me of a thread I saw on Facebook when someone said is it OK for kids to wear pajama pants to school and so many people are like no they should be in jeans they should be dressed up blah blah blah blah blah. Sweats only on gym day (my 3rd grade son right now refuses to wear jeans or he wears are sweat pants) I definitely will be the parents that doesn’t care what my kids wear if it’s sweats or jeans or even pjs.
I don't get the pjs thing, AT.ALL and don't get why people can't just change into pants. There are SO many different options out there to be comfortable. Honestly, the majority of the pants I wear are stretchy now. Even my jeans are stretchy and that is why I love wearing them.
I legit skeeve pajama pants in public. Did they sleep in them? Will the sleep in them after wearing them out and about? I don’t even like sending my kid to pajama day at school in them, and it’s always a fresh pair just for the school day.
I don’t particularly like leggings and don’t get this whole mom love of them, but at least upgrade to them over PJs if you’re leaving the house.

Whenever I see this- my first thought is- I now KNOW you did not shower. Because nobody is waking up, taking off the pjs to take a shower, then putting them back on.
Usually they have greasy hair to back that theory up too though

There are many people who shower at the end of the day. So I don't think it's a big deal if someone didn't shower in the morning when they woke up. Also I cant wash my hair everyday so any day after Wed. you can bet my hair is greasy, Jammies or no jammies. LOL.

But I also have very dry hair so....
