DS needs a new coat (after losing his lovely MK one last term!) he is they type to wear a coat because he hates being cold before anyone says teenaged don't wear coats! What's in fashion at the moment? He's going into yr 8. Thanks.

Writing as a teacher and a parent, it's a waste of time buying a coat for secondary school pupils. They just refuse to wear it, and are impervious to our fretting about them being cold and wet

North Face padded jackets

Ha! Most the kids seem to have coats here or jackets, maybe we live in the twilight zone. 😀

Ds refused to wear a coat until we spotted a padded one in Timberland. I gritted my teeth against designer labels, bought it & he's worn it to death.

Just bought my DS (Y9) a Nike one. North Face seem popular too

Well on the basis that teenagers don't wear coats I guess that nothing is in fashion! So perhaps he should just pick what he wants to wear.
