Don't wait any longer to grab these endlessly versatile Levi's pieces.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A supersoft ribbed tank top that you'll easily wear all year-round. Pair it with shorts for a simple-but-classic summer outfit and then layer it under flannels and sweaters come fall and winter.
Levi's
2. A high-rise linen blend short if you want to rock a vintage-inspired look this summer *without* over-heating. Featuring a super breathable fabric and a baggy fit, these truly are ~effortlessly cool~.
Levi's
Promising review:"Lovely colour, pairs well for different outfit choices. Great material." — CE
3. A trendy high-rise A-line skirt for days when you simply cannot fathom the idea of wearing jeans... but still want that timeless denim look, of course. This is giving old school vibes in all the right ways and definitely calls for an impromptu iPhone photoshoot.
Levi's
BTW, it's crafted with non-stretch denim.
Promising reviews:"The skirt is just perfect. A '70s look. Great for casual as well as more formal outfits. Good quality soft denim. It will last for years. Love it." — Olla
"A wonderful skirt - material, style, all. I wear 44 Italian and ordered 29. Correct fit. It covers the knees and can be worn in summer with sandals/sneakers or winter with boots. I am super happy with my purchase." — mariana
4. A classic crop top since it'll go perfectly with pretty much any and all bottoms in your wardrobe — shorts, skirts, jeans, joggers, you name it, this matches. Plus, if you're a fan of high-rise pants, this eliminates the pesky need to tuck in your t-shirt (which never looks as good as I think it will).
Levi's
Promising review:"This tee has a little weight, not like the creepy thin things that are everywhere. Capped sleeves and cropped length are my style. Order your most true or consistent size. Mine fit perfectly, not tightly constricting and pulling, not loose and styleless so you don't have to size up or down. I got both white and black. LOVE IT and will buy more!!!" — Elaine
5. Or, a buttery-soft fitted short sleeve top if you *do* plan to tuck your shirt in to get that sleek, body-hugging look.
Levi's
Promising reviews:"This is a nice basic black short sleeve shirt. The fabric has a shiny finish, so the shirt can be dressed up or down. The length is nice - not too long and not too short - so the shirt can be tucked in or left untucked without looking sloppy. I also like the neck-line - the scoop neck isn't too deep. The fabric is a little thinner than I expected, but since the shirt is black, it doesn't appear thin." — T.H. Peterson
"Very nice tee, the material is soft to the touch!!' — Jack
Price: $34.50 (available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors)
6. The Levi's original trucker jacket, which has been a trusted wardrobe staple among folks of all genders since it first came out in 1967 — and for good reason! It's supremely stylish *and* versatile with a decades-long lifespan.

8. An everyday sweatshirt that's ready to keep you ultra comfy and cozy any day of the year. Slip it on for everything from lounging on the couch to casual coffee dates with friends.
Levi's
Promising review:"Comfy sweater, nice touch material, to enjoy at home on the couch, walk to the park, or even to the office." — Sylvia
9. A pair of original 501 shorts because, after all, Levi's invented the oh-so-versatile jean short... right? And now they're even better with a vintage-inspired high-rise cut. Step aside jeans, we won't be needing you till fall!
Levi's
Promising review:"I've been looking for nice denim shorts for ages, so happy with these. ❤️ Perfect length, color, and fit. I went a size up for comfort." — Gc23
10. A lightweight mockneck top you'll find yourself wearing to the office to keep from absolutely freezing in the AC *and* with your fave baggy jeans for a chic date night 'fit.
Levi's
11. A simple crewneck tee to pair with jeans for a truly iconic look, no further action required. Look, I'm all for creative styling, but sometimes it's A-OK to stick with the basics. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Levi's
Promising review:"Iconic fashion at an excellent price, easy to order, quick delivery! I love it!" — AZ Girl

Levi's
Promising review:"As always, a good fit. Love that they are not high rise as everything seems to be these days. Definitely a go-to style and comfy to wear." — Belinda
13. A utility shirt that's a stylish baddie all on its own but also a rightful layering queen. You'll be ~royally~ fashionable no matter what.
Levi's
Promising review:"I originally purchased this utility shirt in the denim shade a year ago and just purchased another one in a larger size to accommodate my pregnant belly. I LOVE this shirt. It's the first denim shirt I come across that doesn't pull at the chest. In even the size small, the is ample room and I don't have to worry about a gap for my 36DD chest. It's comfortable and washes nicely. Pairs with anything. I look forward to wearing this shirt for many years to come." — Steph L
14. A pair of baggy dad shorts so you can finally tell as many Dad jokes as you'd like. You're not ~short~ on puns... or style, for that matter. 😉
Levi's
Promising review:"These jorts offer the perfect mix of comfort and style with a trendy, loose fit and high-rise waist. Made from durable yet breathable denim, they're great for warm weather and versatile for casual outfits. Perfect for rocking a retro vibe, though the baggy fit might not suit everyone. Rating: 4.5/5. A must-have for those who love relaxed, stylish denim!" — Anonymous
15. A white boxy tank since you can't go wrong with a basic white top, but especially one that's as cool and trendy as this. Bonus! It's sleeveless while still keeping your shoulders and upper chest covered, a true gift for those of us who burn easily.
Levi's
16. A pair of overalls to embrace your inner veggie-loving farmer. Don this workwear-inspired piece over any tee or tank in your wardrobe and get ready to ~harvest~ some compliments. 🥕
Levi's

20. A pair of ribcage jeans with a wide-leg cut that make you look super chic and super tall, but like, in a really good way. Reviewers of all heights love how they look and feel, saying they're shockingly super comfy — guess it's no wonder they have over 550 5-star reviews!
Levi's
Promising review:"Wowwwwww my favorite jeans ever! I'm 5'1 and the 30' inseam hits at the perfect length, even in a low heel. They are so comfortable and hold your waist in without feeling constricted. I'm a true size 27 and these fit perfectly. I want every wash!" — Alexia
Price: $98 (available in sizes 24–34, three lengths, and 10 colors)
21. A black and white striped cardigan so you can cozy up in style whenever it's unnecessarily cold outside...or inside. How is it I'm never warm??
Levi's
Promising review:"I've never been a huge cardigan wearer and they've become quite the trend, I never find them to suit me but understand they are a great added layer for cooler nights or cooler days. I spotted this cardigan on Levi's and loved the look of it, so, I decided to buy it. I'm obsessed. It looks great, very well made, really tempted to buy it in the other colour they have too because of the way it fits. I chose my normal size of a small because it has got room without feeling too baggy. It's really nice and goes with everything in either casual or dressing up. I wore it for the first time visiting Màlaga where it is still cool in the evenings and it was a great accessory. Thanks Levi's. I may have to buy it in red too!" — Olivia
Price: $48.98 (originally $69.50, available in sizes XS–XXL and in two other colors in select sizes)
22. A denim vest dress that combines the versatility of your favorite ~LBD~ with the timeless aesthetic of denim. Just you wait — soon everyone will have a LDD (little denim dress) in their collection.
Levi's
Promising review:"Love this dress! It has a laid back, feminine, slightly grungy vibe (the black one). Gives a nice figure. I purchased it to wear to concerts this upcoming summer. I'm 5'6 180 lb 36DD chest and the XL fits perfectly. Would love for Levi's to restock the XL in blue as I'd purchase it as well!" — Anonymous
Price: $69.50 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors)
23. A pair of white Bermuda shorts if you've quite frankly never been a fan of itty-bitty short shorts that constantly ride up and do absolutely nothing in the way of preventing chafing. Thank GOD the sleek, almost knee-length Bermuda style is back in fashion.
Levi's
Promising review:"I love my shorts. They fit so comfortable. I will be ordering other colors." — Angie
Price: $24.98 (originally $49.50, available in sizes 16–26 and also in blue)
24. A high-neck tank because if we're talking clothing basics, it's always a good idea to have fitted tanks tops in a few different cuts. It's such an easy way to switch up your look every once in a while, even if your daily uniform is just a tank + jeans.
Levi's
Promising review:"Cute basic tank. It firs well and is great quality." — Janice S
Price: $19.50 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors and patterns)
25. A relaxed flannel shirt to pop on for some cozy warmth and a bit of 90s flair. Flannels are a year-round necessity, and you can't convince me otherwise.
Levi's
Promising review:"Great quality. Soft material. Beautiful colour. Good service." — Chandi
Price: $69.50 (available in sizes XXS–XL and three colors)
26. A pair of cargo pants with a slightly baggy fit and plenty 'o pockets, which means you'll find yourself wearing them to walk the dog (gotta carry all those treats and accessories!), garden, run errands, and more.
Levi's
Promising review:"These are my favorite cargos. Unlike other ones I own, the flaps on the back pockets and sides stay straightened and down, with no curling. I love the wash, it's super soft. I bought my usual size, and even with a belt, they sit low on my waist. My only gripe is I don't prefer the cinched string bottom, but a simple cuff and it hides it!" — syd burkhard
Price: $51.98 (originally $79.50, available in sizes 24–32 and two washes)
27. An aptly-named "perfect T-shirt" featuring the iconic Levi's logo, since it'll tuck into your fave jeans for the ~perfect~ casual outfit.
Levi's
Promising review:"This will look great alone or styled with a leather jacket, a denim shirt, or a jean jacket, even under a blazer. It fits great, and it's just the right length. It's cozy and made well. Levi's has been cool since day one. I believe they'll continue to thrive, generation after generation. So happy that they have so many great options for us curvy gals, too!" — Levi's reviewer
Price: $24.50 (available in sizes 1X–4X)
28. A denim shirt that has the timeless look you know and love, only with a hint of linen in the fabric to make it more breathable and flowy.
Levi's
Promising review:"I'm very glad I read the reviews about sizing down. They were correct. I'm usually a medium but I opted for the small in this shirt. It fits perfectly. I'm 5'9 and 173 lbs. Really soft and breathable." — Shari
Price: $69.50 (available in sizes XXS–XL)
29. An essential long-sleeve t-shirt made from 100% cotton — I don't really need to explain why you need this basic in your wardrobe, do I?
Levi's
Promising review:"Love this shirt. It can be dressed up or down. The material feels good and is super comfortable. I would highly recommend this shirt as an essential for everyone's wardrobe." — Joanne
Price: $34.50 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and two colors)
30. A pair of capris just in case the weather can't make up its mind and fully commit to warm temps yet. These are the perfect compromise for in-between spring days where you just want to feel a little bit of fresh air on your legs.
Levi's
Promising review:"Love my jeans, perfect fit and size excellent quality." — Sadie
Price: $59.50 (available in sizes 14–26, short, medium, and long lengths, two stretch levels, and 12 colors)

Nonnacore trend puts Italian grandma gear front and center with a boost from celebs like Rihanna and Kendall Jenner
NYC loves its nonnas. Italian grandmas are at the epicenter of the hottest accessory craze as summer moves into fall — silk scarves that sizzle as the new/old headpiece-de-resistance. 'It' girls are eating up and scarving down the latest vintage, voguish vibe — a styling movement known as 'nonnacore,' made haute by tastemakers from Rihanna to the runway to sirens on the subway. Advertisement 14 New Yorker Arianna Lombardo says her nonnacore style is inspired by A-listers such as Rihanna and Aaliyah, as well as her own Nonna. LP Media And any Gotham gal can acquire the look for themselves — by finishing an outfit with a colorful kerchief tied tautly atop one's tresses, à la sexy granny in her prime. It's an effortlessly luxe look that first went viral among A-listers and influencers, such as Beyoncé and Hailey Bieber, who stunned in the headgear way back on their respective, splashy summer 2024 vacations. Advertisement Now, everyday divas are following suit. 'It's simple, chic and ties a look together,' Arianna Lombardo, 30, a hairstylist and self-crowned 'fashion maximalist,' from Long Island, told The Post. The brunette recently dazzled over 82,000 social media fans with a detailed nonnacore headscarf how-to. 14 Cosmetologist Lombardo, known online as 'The Hair Ninja of New York,' racked up over 82,000 TikTok views with her headscarf tutorial. LP Media Advertisement 'Being Italian, I'm loving that the nonnas are getting this well-deserved fashion nod,' she said. It's sampled swag, much like the 'Mob Wives' dressing frenzy, which inspired glamour gals to wow in gangster garb, or the 'Tomato Girl Summer' of 2023 — a moment dedicated to veggie-inspired duds. But more than a bit of borrowed pizzazz, nonnacore offers budgeted fashionistas an effortless, affordable way to elevate any ensemble, according to NYC stylist Dawn Del Russo. Advertisement Owing to tariffs and inflation — economic bugaboos forcing clotheshorses to get creative when building their wardrobes — Del Russo said investing in a timeless piece — such as a scarf, be it designer label or a thrift-store find — is a haute hack for the pennywise. 'Bright, quality scarves are having a movement because they're versatile and recession-proof,' the en vogue expert explained to The Post while vacationing in Italy. 'Wearing one around your head is very popular right now, but you can also transform that same scarf into a cute necktie, crop top, belt or sarong,' she said. Repurposing fab finery is how nonnas would traditionally keep it cute, Del Russo noted. 14 Italian grandmas are rising as the year's hottest fashion accessory icons thanks to the Nonnacore movement. Veranika – 'Those old-world Italian grandmas didn't splurge,' she said. 'They probably took extra fabric from curtains or tablecloths, wore them on their heads and bodies, and made it fashion.' It's make-do splendor that Emily Bargeron, 40, a vintage clothes curator from Savanah, Georgia, and her wallet really appreciate. In fact, the millennial tells The Post the nonnacore scarf is like a mini Mediterranean trip for your head. Advertisement 'If you can afford to visit Europe this summer, you can bring Europe to you with this look,' said Bargeron, whose modish nod to Italian grannies has garnered over 1.4 million TikTok views. 'Almost everyone has a silk scarf in their closet — it's inexpensive, iconic and gets you tons of compliments,' she explained. Hollywood's hottest, however, are more concerned about slaying than saving. 14 Always ahead of the curve, music's Queen Bey helped kick off the headscarf trend well before its summer 2025 fashion boom. Beyonce/Instagram Advertisement 14 Actress Elle Fanning served a casual-chic slay with a nonnacore-inspired scarf at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in May. WireImage 14 Rihanna gave headscarves a good rep during a recent outing in Beverly Hills. Blackbelts / BACKGRID Rihanna recently turned heads with a $650 Valentino Garavani Toute La V Silk Scarf over her chocolatey locks in Beverly Hills. The pregnant Grammy winner, 37, paired the popular add-on with a plain white button-down shirt, dark-wash cuffed jeans and croc-print heeled flip-flops from Amina Muaddi. Advertisement Anya Taylor-Joy, 26, rocked a show-stopper this month, too, wrapping a pleated green scarf around the full perimeter of her dome as did yesteryear bellas like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, as well as Italian starlets Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida. 14 Hepburn and her swanky peers were well known for adding a chic headscarf to their looks in the 1950s and '60s. Corbis via Getty Images 14 'The Menu' actress Anya Taylor-Joy ate up the headscarf style — even with necessary ear protection — at a Formula 1 Grand Prix event earlier this month in Hungary. 14 Italian beauty Sophia Loren routinely wowed with her effortless look. ullstein bild via Getty Images Advertisement Kim Kardashian snapped saucy selfies and posed in a headscarf while promoting her Skims collaboration with Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, and little sister Kendall Jenner, 29, let a silk number shine as the mane attraction as a model for Gucci. But Arianne Antonio, 31, a publicist from Bushwick, is grateful that the unfussy fashion trend isn't limited to the rich and famous. The Brooklynite says a little nonnacore scarf can make a big difference to one's duds, as well as their mental health. 14 Sabrina Carpenter works an all-striped ensemble — including a matching scarf. Getty Images for Vogue 14 Arianne Antonio told The Post that a nonnacore-inspired scarf can add a little light to one's day during these trying times. EMMY PARK 14 Fashionista Antonio often wraps a silk scarf around her baseball cap for added flair. EMMY PARK 'With everything going on in the world right now, people are stressed and exhausted,' she said, noting the sea of headscarves she saw at this year's Lollapalooza music festival — an annual celebration of music and fashion. 'People need a colorful dash of fun in their lives.' '[Nonnacore scarves] are comfortable, cute and you can play around with them in so many different ways,' Antonio added. 'They're that little something that can completely transform an otherwise boring outfit,' she said. 14 Lombardo says the nonnacore headscarf movement is an easy fashion trend to follow. LP Media Lombardo agrees. 'They add a funky edge to everybody,' she said. 'If you're a wealthy celebrity or an everyday guy or girl in New York City, a headscarf can add to your aura.' 14 Antonio shows off a stylish, properly situated scarf.

Italians Pay Final Respects to Their ‘King of Television'
Fans, dignitaries and celebrities packed a church in the Sicilian town of Militello in Val di Catania on Wednesday for the funeral of Pippo Baudo, a television host who commanded the small screen in Italy for half a century. Countless more watched the ceremony for Mr. Baudo, who died on Saturday at 89, live on the flagship channel of RAI, the national broadcaster, an honor usually reserved for popes and presidents. The Rev. Giulio Albanese, a priest close to the emcee, described Mr. Baudo in his homily as 'the most famous man in Italy,' if 'only because he was always a welcome guest in Italian homes.' What remains beyond the applause, he added, was 'his ability to communicate closeness, to give room to many artists, and to have sincere relationships.' Mr. Baudo was born in Militello in Val di Catania and spent much of his career at the RAI studios in Rome, helming some of the country's most popular prime-time variety shows. Most of those shows involved song and dance numbers, comic skits and interactions with famous people. Some shows centered around singing competitions. Since Mr. Baudo's death, RAI has aired dozens of hours of tributes and vintage TV clips on its various channels, a testament to his decades at the broadcaster. Accolades poured in for 'the last king of television,' the 'founding father of RAI,' 'TV's giant,' a nod to his fame and his stature (he was over 6 feet tall) and SuperPippo, a nickname that stuck.

Gen Alpha Is Ditching Kids' TV for Twitch and YouTube—Should Parents Be Worried?
Ahead, learn more about Gen Alpha's media habits and how to create healthy boundaries around screen time and 'unfiltered' viewing. Fact checked by Sarah Scott Key Points Kids today watch more YouTube and Twitch than traditional TV, giving them control over what they see and when they see it. Live streams and other unfiltered media can expose kids to risky or inappropriate content, so adult guidance is key. Talking openly and watching with your child helps build trust and teaches safe digital habits. In past generations, kids turned on the TV to watch PBS, Saturday morning cartoons, the Disney Channel, or Nickelodeon. Today, most of what kids watch isn't a scripted sitcom, preschool learning program, or goofy cartoon—it's user-generated content on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Generation Alpha, or children born between 2010 and 2024, is a digital-first generation. They've never lived in a world without the internet, social media, YouTube, or the iPhone—and this is clearly reflected in their viewing preferences. Instead of tuning into a tween-centric TV show on Nickelodeon, they're watching someone play a video game on Twitch or watching their peers open packages (also known as an 'unboxing') on YouTube. Media habits have always evolved across generations, but algorithm-driven feeds and live streaming present a whole new set of challenges and questions for parents, including limited parental controls, unpredictable content quality, and potential behavioral impacts. 'Traditional television was scheduled, passive, and standardized. It couldn't compete with the on-demand, personalized, and interactive nature of platforms like YouTube and later TikTok and Twitch,' says clinical psychologist Michael Wetter, PsyD, ABPP, FAACP. 'Children now grow up in an environment where they don't wait for a show to air—they expect content to be instantly available, tailored to their interests, and socially integrated. They don't just watch content—they remix it, comment on it, and share it with peers. It's not just entertainment; it's how they express identity, participate in culture, and feel seen." Generation Alpha's Media Habits, Explained Millennial and Gen Z kids grew up spoiled by great TV programming, including quality learning-focused shows like Nick Jr.'s Dora the Explorer and Disney Channel's fun, relatable tween sitcoms like Hannah Montana and That's So Raven. While shows like these still exist (Dora even got a modern reboot) Gen Alpha has shifted their viewing habits almost entirely online. Popular shows like CoComelon, Blippi, and Ms. Rachel got their start on YouTube, and need we remind you of the massive success of Pinkfong's 'Baby Shark' song? Creators like twins Vlad and Niki became popular on the platform with their user-generated preschool show, which has since become available on streaming services like Prime Video. According to Precise TV, 87% of kids ages 2-5 prefer to watch YouTube over other services. Common Sense Media also reports that children are watching fewer traditional TV shows but gaming more, with 40% of 2-year-olds already owning a tablet. "Unlike traditional TV, digital platforms let them choose the content, interact with it, and even become creators themselves. That level of control and customization is something cable could never compete with." Titania Jordan The appeal is clear: most kids watch YouTube on a phone or tablet, which parents often hand over to keep them occupied in restaurants, in waiting rooms, or during car rides. (That's where the term 'iPad kid' comes from.) 'YouTube and other phone-based apps are available anywhere,' says Devorah Heitner, PhD, author of the book Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. 'It's to the appeal for busy, on-the-go families.' And Gen Alpha can watch whatever they want, whenever they want it, which anyone who waited by the TV hoping to catch a specific episode of their favorite show back in the '80s or '90s can tell you is a luxury. 'Unlike traditional TV, digital platforms let them choose the content, interact with it, and even become creators themselves,' adds Titania Jordan, chief parenting officer of Bark Technologies, a company that helps keep kids safer online. 'That level of control and customization is something cable could never compete with.' What to Know About Twitch While younger kids gravitate toward YouTube, older kids are more likely to be on Twitch. The streaming platform has long been popular with teenagers—more than 40% of its users are between the ages of 16 and 24, the majority of them male. Twitch began as an online gaming platform, but has since grown to include more first-person 'day in the life' content. Popular streamers like Kai Cenat and Clix have attracted tons of new viewers to the platform, and Twitch has become a modern way for teens to create community and find new friends. Scott H. Kollins, PhD, clinical psychologist and chief medical officer of Aura, points out that streaming isn't just a way for kids to share their hobbies. 'For some, it's about chasing a bigger dream. Streaming is now seen as a real career path,' he shares. 'Just like some kids dream of being pro athletes, others hope to become big-time streamers or esports stars. Even if only a few make it that far, the idea that it's possible is really exciting.' But because Twitch streams are live and not edited or censored like traditional TV programming, there are more risks involved regarding what young viewers may see onscreen. 'Children can be exposed to sudden shifts in tone or content that range from mildly inappropriate to deeply disturbing—often without warning,' explains Dr. Wetter. 'A streamer might begin with lighthearted gaming and suddenly veer into profanity, personal rants, or emotionally volatile behavior.' Dr. Wetter also flags Twitch's chat feature, which can expose children to 'toxic interactions, harassment, even grooming behavior.' Twitch has also come under fire for being an easy place for predators to interact with young users; in 2023, Bloomberg News analyzed over 1,000 Twitch Clips—or short, snackable videos similar to YouTube Shorts and TikTok—to find that 'at least 83 of the short videos contain sexualized content involving children.' And because kids often share details casually, they may accidentally reveal where they live or go to school without realizing the safety implications. Twitch doesn't allow children under 13 to create an account on the platform, but kids determined to get online can find workarounds. Even older tweens and teens can separate authenticity and performance, says Dr. Wetter. Children are always watching people around them and modeling their behavior as such, and they may be taking cues from streamers without recognizing that much of what they're watching is performance. 'Because livestream platforms prioritize engagement, streamers may act out in exaggerated, often reckless ways to hold attention or elicit donations,' says Dr. Wetter. What to Know About YouTube YouTube, built on an algorithm designed to show viewers more content they may enjoy and thus keep them on the platform longer, has long been criticized for exposing kids to questionable content, ads, and clickbait. In 2015, the platform launched YouTube Kids as a safer, more curated option, though its safety parameters haven't always been the most foolproof. Some creators have even used popular kids' characters like Elsa or Spider-Man to slip through the platform with inappropriate content, also known as 'Elsagate.' While YouTube Kids can feel like a safer choice, experts suggest still paying attention to what your kid is watching. 'YouTube Kids offers a more curated environment, but it's far from foolproof,' says Jordan. 'Content can still slip through, and recommendation algorithms often favor engagement over appropriateness.' When it comes to YouTube and YouTube Kids, 'nothing replaces active supervision and conversation,' she says. Parents should be actively involved in what their kids are clicking on and consuming; for every one Ms. Rachel, there are 10 videos that could be filled with inappropriate content for young viewers. 'Filters can help, but YouTube is the wild west in terms of content,' says Heitner. 'Kids can stumble on very harmful violent, sexual, and hateful content.' In recent years, there has also been a noted increase in AI content targeted at children. The Impact of Unfiltered Viewing Children's physical and emotional safety may be at risk, but their development can also be impacted by constant streaming. 'The real issue is not whether children are watching something 'safe' in the legal or moral sense—it's whether what they're consuming is shaping their expectations, their self-image, and their ability to tolerate the real world,' says Dr. Wetter. 'When children have unfiltered, unrestricted access to this type of content, they begin to rely on it not just for entertainment, but for emotional regulation.' This could show up as tantrums or conflicts around screen time, trouble focusing in school, or the inability to speak person-to-person without devices, he says. Because devices are always within reach, kids' screen time habits are affecting their sleep and mood, which may impact their schoolwork and day-to-day behavior. 'Children are losing the ability to self-regulate emotionally without external stimulation. They're staying up late watching autoplay videos, checking notifications the moment they wake up, and struggling to manage the sensory overload that comes from hours of screen exposure,' says Dr. Wetter. He also notes that kids today don't experience boredom like prior generations. 'Their ability to experience boredom—which is actually an important developmental skill—diminishes,' he says. 'In real-time, clinicians, educators, and parents are witnessing the downstream effects of what we might call poor digital hygiene.' A recent study from the Journal of the American Heart Association even found that kids and teens who spend more time on screens may be at higher risk for heart issues in the future. How to Keep Viewing Safe It's difficult to go cold turkey and prohibit your kids from these channels and platforms entirely. Dr. Wetter recommends setting clear, consistent, and age-appropriate boundaries around screen time. 'Instead of reacting with punishments or lectures when screen time becomes an issue, parents can establish daily tech-free zones, like mealtimes or the hour before bed, and create screen schedules that balance passive consumption with active play, school, and sleep,' he shares. Offer alternatives to YouTube and Twitch, like sports, music, art, playtime, or family time. Dr. Kollins suggests 'creating structure' around screen time, including time limits, privacy tools, regular check-ins, or making a family media agreement where parents and kids align on rules and expectations around screen time. For older kids, Jordan says to start the conversation with 'curiosity, not judgement.' She recommends asking your children what they're watching and why they like it. 'Consider watching together when you can. This helps you learn what your child likes and what the content presents to them,' she explains. 'The most powerful tool is still an ongoing, open conversation.' In fact, being actively interested and involved in what your kids are watching, no matter their age, is one of the most important things parents can do to keep their kids safe online. 'As parents, one of the best things we can do is help guide that exploration rather than shut it down,' says Dr. Kollins. 'Allowing kids to engage with digital content while they're still at home gives us a chance to support them when things get confusing, complicated, or overwhelming.' Screen Time Limits Matter for Parents, Too Parents should also practice what they preach when it comes to screens, phones, and tablets. 'Modeling healthy digital behavior—like putting phones away during conversations, prioritizing face-to-face connection, and valuing rest—also teaches children how to develop a healthier relationship with their devices,' says Dr. Wetter. Teach kids media literacy skills and tools to help them navigate what's OK to watch and what they should stay away from, as well as how to separate what's real and what is entertainment. 'Explain that influencers are often being paid to promote products, that videos are edited to seem more exciting than they really are, or that many online personas are exaggerated for effect can help children separate entertainment from reality,' says Dr. Wetter. 'Think of it like scaffolding. It's there to prop them up and for safety, but as time goes on and they can stand on their own, it can slowly come away,' Dr. Kollins explains. 'The goal isn't to control every moment; it's to create balance. That way, they get to build the digital skills and resilience they'll need while still knowing we're here to help when they need us.'
