Dc are 15 and 18, both have no interest in clothes. We're going on our first hot holiday since they were much younger and I'm not sure what to get them. Does this sound like enough? I'd like to pack light!

3 x shorts
3 x t-shirts
3 x swimming shorts
Sliders.

It's Turkey in August so I can't see them needing anything warmer. Thanks

@Lykke1000 - the buggers grow, too!

Remember Turkey is a very religious country and you may need long trousers and if you are planning to go in anywhere religious
You will need your head covered and your arms and legs covered too

For a week mine would be:

Two swimming shorts
7 casual tshirts
7 slightly nicer polos/tshirts/shirts for the evenings
4 casual shorts
3 smarter shorts for evenings

My teen ds is normally a joggers and T-shirt lad. He enjoyed buying some slightly smarter tops (very thin fabric polo shirts) and linen/viscose casual trousers from H&M this year in Greece (4 star AI)
Was nice to look a bit smarter for dinner, and he found the trousers actually cooler when out and about, and for the flight home

As others have said you need more than that just due to the heat and sweating. Next do packs of 5 t shirts which are reasonably priced and various colours. If they won’t wear them again, head to Primark. £3 or so a tshirt and usually loads of colours.
