Ds12 has been wearing same kind of clothes since he was five. Blue or grey college tracking suit bottoms and a jacket. He seems to be ashamed of his clothes because he chose to wear school uniform to own clothes day. I keep telling him that he needs new clothes and trying to ask what his friends does wear. No help. He just insist that his clothes are fine even though not wearing them to school. We are going to shopping on Wednesday and I would be interested to know what kind of clothes are cool.

Head to toe black, grey and white Adidas here. But we are much less middle class here in Stevenage.

My DCs are slightly older and slightly younger and live in sports clothes. Mainly Nike, but they also like Hype tee-shirts, football shirts, and the older one has one Boss tee-shirt that I bought for £15 from TkMaxx.
TKMaxx and Sports Direct would probably cover all bases.

Black jeans, lots of T shirts and hoodies.

Sports clothes, mostly joggers or football kits. Not bothered about brands yet really.

Nike dry fit, skinny jeans, Abercrombie jumpers (usually if it's a Christmas gift) geeky T-shirts

I'm lucky that mine is also into surfing and seating so it adds a bit of variety and colour into the teen wear. He likes a checked shirt over a t shirt and a surf or skate branded hoodie.

Nike Tech trackie for 13yr old DS. With Nike t-shirt and trainers. Everything Nike, even his bloody socks have to be Nike. His clothes cost more than mine these days. They do usually have some good sale stuff in JD Sports.

My DS12 couldn't care about labels. He likes tracksuits. Nice Hoodies. H&M, Next, M&S... he's happy. Nike trainers though. And a big black puffa.

Slim fit chinos from next, white t-shirt with open checked shirt over the top is the clothing of choice by my 12yo. He wouldn't wear joggers or a hoodie. Lots at next and m&s.

My just turned 13 year old lives in his sports wear as do the majority of his friends. He loves Nike and has Nike Air force trainers and Nike 270s. Clothes wise again Nike joggers, relatively plain shirts usually black or white which I've picked up in packs of 3 from hype and Nike hoodies. He especially loves the dri fit hoodies and joggers which are lightweight and also quick to dry after washing which is a bonus

Op here namechange. Ds had own clothes today and wore his new adidas gear. No one was making fun of and the rest seemed to wear similar clothing.
