M and S clothes - inappropriate names?

[Bumpsadaisie]

AIBU to feel decidedly odd about buying my 19mth old DD a "boyfriend cardigan" and some "harem pants" ?

The clothes themselves were lovely but why couldn't they just be called " stripey cardi" and "baggy trousers"?

Or am I being OTT?

Now you come to mention it,

Yes it is a bit odd to have things with those names for children.

YANBU.

And, fuck me at those M&S harem pants

You're troubled by this? It makes you feel "decidedly odd"?

Really?

Good grief!

YABU for putting a 19 month old in a boyfriend cardigan and harem pants.

"Yes it is a bit odd to have things with those names for children."

So should they rename clothing terms for different age groups?

Why are you picking my post out? I'm not the only one who thinks it a bit odd.

Because I'm too lazy to scroll back nothing personal

I am trying to think of what I think.

I just think it's odd. That's it really. The associations of harems and boyfriends seem odd applied to a baby.

Mind you I did at the skinny jeans on offer for babies in mothercare.

And I even more when they were the only ones I could find that were halfway decent and so bought them. She looks ludicrous. A toddler with a huge nappy, and skinny jeans, is not a good combo

Skinny jeans on a baby are WRONG!

Yes they are.

Why do they even make them? They look stupid and are a PITA to get on and off. And now I show up as a positive in their sales figures, because there wasn't anything else

Harem pants are perfect toddler clothes. Nice and loose and roomy. Interested to know what trousers are more appropriate.

"Yes it is a bit odd to have things with those names for children."

"So should they rename clothing terms for different age groups?"

Yes. Longer length cardigan. That would do for kids. Nothing to do with their boyfriend.

Where are all these boyfriends wearing cardigans anyhow?

I don't know any cardigan wearing men under the age of 60, am I really out the loop on this one?

I think you're missing the point, tyler

we need to rename styles of clothes if they are for kids because you don't like the implication that toddlers have boyfriends or are possibly concubines? And its M&S that has the problem?

O-Kaaaay then.

tyler You'd be surprised! Try looking up scenester fashion.

DH is 35 and wears cardigans

Was the desciption on the garment or what came up on the till/receipt?

Personally I think YAB a little precious and therefore U.
