Where do you go to find cool teen boys clothes?

Not big into football, mostly tanks Grin wouldn’t want anything Fortnite related (he’s over that...almost) likes a good cotton t shirt, hype t shirts he’s had in the past but he got to warm in the fabric.

There seems this transition between needing young teen clothes but sometimes he fits into a small mans but need something suitable/quirky/fun for a teen.

I know I’m asking on AIBU but it seems the busiest place I visit, sorry Grin

DS2 like t-shirts from Truffle Shuffle, DS1 likes M&M direct stuff - really good value; and both boys v lucky as we have fab gp's who live in Brighton and send them very cool t-shirts.

Primark and h&m

This is the tee that DS2 is asked where he got it most (Truffle Shuffle):

Loving these

JD sports, sports direct or cheap designer outlets such as Cheshire oaks.

Took my 2 DSS's to a designer outlet they had £200 each and got completely kitted out with trainers, fred perry tshirts hugo boss, superdry also nike shorts and levis jeans

Sports direct do good deals also 2 t-shirts for £15 they are nike or adidas

My son 14, 6”2, so feel your pain!! When you say tanks do you mean as in military kind or tank tops?! Blush if he likes military stuff, there’s loads of new tee shirts in various sizes with lots of great logos on eBay at reasonable price. Next do a good range for tall thin boys clothes as I’ve just bought some grey school trousers in a 30 extra long which are washable for £18 which is half what M&S and the likes want once you’re in the men s range. If anyone can tell me where to go for men’s shoes over a size 12 that don’t cost a fortune I’m all ears!! Sports direct seems to be the only place right now!!

@luxuryhandwash tanks as in military tanks Grin loves tanks and planes. Good idea about eBay. It’s just sizing on there. There’s such a huge difference depending on where you buy so I tend to buy larger just in case, frustrating.

Love the Star Wars t shirt @MT2017

My son likes vintage stuff so looks on Depop for stuff but Fred Perry, Lacoste etc. Apparently Adidas cooler than Nike...
Doesn’t go in for big images on t shirts - more discreet logos.

high street shops are always fashionable: new look, h and m, topman, or makes such as adidas and nike, can be bought quite reasonably priced too.

Wait until Superdry has a sale on (usually twice a year) and have a look in there. I always buy DS 13yo t-shirts and hoodies in there. At the end of the summer they usually sell some of their £28 T-shirt’s for £12.
