It's a sad day for faux fur coats, clustered charm necklaces, and cutesy graphic tees everywhere: Wet Seal is closing all of its stores.
The beloved company delivered the blow to its employees last week in a letter, which stated that all stores would be shuttering and all employees would be losing their jobs, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The closing process, which will be devastating on your wardrobe, has apparently been in the works since 2015, when the brand filed for bankruptcy and closed down over 300 stores, Business Insider reports.
It's unclear as of now whether the website will also be metaphorically closing its doors, but Seventeen.com has reached out to Wet Seal's reps to find out. This post will be updated when we hear back.
