Hey, Besties!

Welcome to Seventeen. You know, we make those YouTube videos you spend hours watching, the articles you turn to for advice, the TikToks you share with friends, and the Instagram memes you relate to each morning. That's us — and we're proud to call you a part of our crew.

New here? Welcome! Seventeen is the leading Gen Z media brand — offering a mix of the best beauty advice, fashion trends, wellness insight, entertainment news, and yes, TikTok trends — for *the* most influential generation of teens and young adults.

Consider us your favorite fangirl (yes, we loved Euphoria, too) and best friend (there's nothing off-limits here). On Seventeen, you can find whatever you need to navigate life as a teen and young adult. Since we launched in 1944, we've been here to celebrate every major milestone with you including prom, graduation, and all the big and small moments in between.

We’re also your support team — and biggest cheerleaders — providing you with the tools and inspiration to achieve your dreams and change the world. We love shining a light on those of you who are making major moves in your communities, high school halls, and on your college campuses.

Day to day, we want to make sure you’re prepared for everything life throws your way, with accurate expert input and well-vetted advice for everything, from nailing the right skincare routine to re-creating your favorite celeb hairstyles and pulling off the most talked about TikTok fashion trends. We’ll also help you find the perfect captions for your Instagram selfies, navigate crushes, deal with stress, and even pick a major. And ofc, we’ll always keep you in the know on what to add to your Netflix watch list and what your fave celeb couples are up to.

Why Trust Us

There’s a ton of info floating around the internet and social media, and tbh scrolling can be overwhelming. We want to be sure that what you’re reading is not only fun but accurate and informative. So we make it our priority to tap the best experts in the industry, fact-check, road test, and research every story and product we’re recommending so that you feel comfortable trying it all, and more importantly, that you love it.

Affiliate Disclosure

One of our fave things to do is help you find your new 🔥 outfit, the latest viral beauty product, or a dupe of a celebrity swimsuit. Just know that while our suggestions always come from an honest place, we do participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that sometimes when you click to buy a product through our site, we may get paid a commission for that item. But trust, everything we feature is driven by high editorial and ethical standards and not by an advertiser or affiliate relationship.
