My 13 year old has always been super quirky and ridiculously intelligent. He's always had his own style which I think is fab and he doesn't really give a shit what other people think. He also has some sensory stuff thrown in.

We are currently.... not arguing but disagreeing on his clothing choices. He likes his school trousers vvvvvvv tight and short, like above his sock line short. He also likes his sister's jeans much more than his as again, he likes them skin tight. This is fine by me other than the arguments it causes with his sister when she wants to wear her own clothes. And my worries he is squishing his internal organs!

However at times he also wants to wear other things like her shoes (sort of loafer style things?) And has come down just now in a pair of her cullotte type shorts - paired with a bright yellow t-shirt and aviator sunglasses - and said he wants to walk into town. I told him no, the shorts are too big and I was concerned the big groups of lads that roam about our town might bully him.

AIBU? He looked a bit.... silly. But it's obviously his choice what he wears.

If he wants to wear girl’s clothes why doesn’t he buy them instead of borrowing his sister’s? He should be allowed to wear what he wants as long as he isn’t indecent.
