DS has always been very in to girl things. He's happy and content in himself, he just likes pink and purple and sparkles .
I thought he may grow out of his girly fashion sense but he's now eight and still loves purple/pink etc. Most of the time when out and about he'll dress in rainbow colours with jeans etc so it's not "too girly" but he hates all boys clothes with a passion.
He now needs a new backpack for school and desperately wants one of those over the top smiggle ones with a big fluffy pink cat design.
Do I let him wear it even though he's going to get teased by the other kids or say no and feel like I'm stopping him being who he wants to be? He has fairly long hair and gets mistaken for a girl a lot, it doesn't bother him in the slightest but I'm worried a big pink cat backpack may be taking things too far .
I let him dress however he likes at home but I am starting to worry as he's getting older and may start getting bullied at school for his out there fashion choices.
