What would you NEVER let your kids wear in public?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Can be anything

I hate seeing boys in football tops and joggers at birthday parties when the girls are all dressed for a party.
That goes for men too, but that's a separate thread.

High heels. DS has enough problems with his hamstrings without adding to them, plus he's too tall as it is

Heeleys. Those revolting wheeled trainers.

Girls under teenage - crop tops, leggings with short tops, t shirts that are too short, sleeveless tops or dresses unless it’s a heatwave, shoes with heels, pierced ears

Boys - sleeveless tops, very short hair.

Under 5’s - no football kit

Ah yes totally agree about boys in tracksuits at parties. Even kids parties I think is odd, but most seem to do it.

A hat made from fishfingers

^^ same. I hate seeing children in hats made of any food, but fishfinger hats are the worst. It just screams lower class imo.

sleeveless tops or dresses unless it’s a heatwave....what like these?

Can someone explain the problem with football shirts? What if your child likes football?

My youngest is 2 and wore a football shirt to his own birthday party (and joggers as jeans and proper trousers won't stay up!) My daughter wore a Mike from Monster's Inc costume to his party.

My daughter is 4 and I let her choose her clothes (obviously within price range- usually from the charity shop). She's mostly happy in dungarees, leggings and the same pink party dress we bought just before she turned 3. I don't mind slogans- especially as she can now read so will choose ones she likes.

but fishfinger hats are the worst. It just screams lower class imo.

I will allow ds to wear a goujon hat (but only a sustainable fished one) anything else makes me shudder.

Boys - sleeveless tops, very short hair.

....crikey ds is doomed.

What's a fish finger hat?

As younger children (below 14ish) -
Baseball caps
Football shirts
Anything with inappropriate slogans - indeed usually anything with slogans
Vest tops
Crop tops or bras when not needed
Thongs or g strings except for dancing
Earrings
Makeup except to play
shiny tracksuits
High heels
Leather skirts or trousers
Anything bearing a St George’s flag

Would a rugby union top be acceptable? Everyone wears them around here and it's more of a middle class sport

At their current ages (2&4) my no no’s are:
Tutu’s
Bikinis
Cropped tops
Basically, anything that appears “sexualised” or is majorly impractical.

DD1 lives in dresses, as is her choice. She can still climb/run around etc as they’re mostly jersey dresses. DD2 is still young enough I choose all her clothes so it’s leggings and T-shirt’s.

Oh god I don’t really care!
I mean there’s lots of stuff I dislike seeing on children and wouldn’t buy my own (big slogans or brand names, football tops, crocs - particularly when paired with socks, tracksuits, jewellery etc) but I just didn’t buy them and now they are old enough to choose their own stuff I just go with the flow. I don’t think any of them have actually chosen any of that stuff apart from ds and his beloved Adidas tracksuit which he loves! I don’t like it but i don’t have to wear it and it’s not offensive or impractical so I don’t impose any rules on it!!

I hate anything sexualized like triangle bikinis or crop tops make me feel uncomfortable, I’d be open to discussion if it was something DD actually wanted to wear though.

We were shopping yesterday and I was so glad she didn’t go for any of the “Selfie Queen” like slogans, they make me puke a bit! But if they were harmless (not like “sexy” or something) then I’d probably bite my tongue. I can’t see the point of “not allowing” her wear something unless it’s unsafe. It’s only clothes

Anything with big frills or bows, I can't stand them.

Combat gear.

Words on clothes for children too young to understand the idea of writing or to comprehend the meaning of the words.

Sleeveless outdoor clothing, if it's warm enough not to need sleeves then their shoulders should be covered for sun protection.

Bikinis on primary aged or younger children. Put them in a swimsuit for the indoor pool, rash vest or t-shirt for the beach.

Gosh people are uptight aren't they?

Will someone explain what is actually wrong with football shirts?

hazeyjane 😂

What RubberTreePlant said.

An Arsenal top. They are the proud owners of both Spurs and our local league one teams shirts though.

Did someone say baseball caps? But they are really sensible...and it's just a hat. What's wrong with a hat?

My dc's are vegan - I would never allow a fishfinger hat. They both wear cabbage hats. Lettuce during a heatwave obviously.
