Putting the issue of ‘boys and girls’ clothes aside.
I’ve just been looking for some summer clothes for DD, to be fair only looking in a catalog at home (rather well known for kids clothes) so not representative of every store. But it struck me that all the shorts in the ‘girls’ section are short, stopping more than half way before the knee, yet all boys shorts are around knee length.
I know women’s shorts tend to be short and men’s knee length, guessing as that’s the fashion (although weird as more women than men seem concerned with how they look and like to be covered up) and I guess that’s why it’s the same in children’s clothing.
But with general advice of keeping covered up in the sun, I find it odd girls shorts are so much shorter than boys. There also more strapless tops and spaghetti straps, where as for boys much more choice in standard t shirts.
I know I’m being unreasonable in the sense that it must sell so obviously clothes shops make and sell it and I know I can (and do) buy from the ‘boys’ section.
But when and how did this come in?
