Where do you get most of your kids clothes from?
I would say most of DD’s wardrobe is mothercare, with a bit of H&M

When he was first born it was joules, cath kidston, debenhams, mothercare. Now he just seems to grow out of things too quickly so mostly Gap, Sainsburys tu

I really like clothes from Sainsbury’s, Asda do some nice Disney things and basics cheaply and Next for special occasions. I like Boots mini club clothing too especially for babies and their swimwear.

Interested in this thread?

Frugi.

SnugglySnerd · 14/05/2019 20:08

Sainbury's, Ebay or hand downs from friends.

icanhearapindrop · 14/05/2019 20:10

Asda, Sainsbury’s, Matalan, and an amazing charity shop nearby which gets a lot of branded clothes donated. A lot of rich people around here who are happy to donate, but luckily for me, not many who would dare to shop in a charity shop.

NCT nearly new sales. our local branch goes up to 11-12 years, not sure what I'll do once DC are at secondary school Smile

bluechameleon · 14/05/2019 20:13

Mostly buy second hand from Facebook groups and some from online independent shops. 1yo DS2 has a lot of Frugi, Maxomorra, Alba and Mini Rodini. 4yo DS1 has mainly Smafolk and Villervalla. Basics from H&M.

Ratatatouille · 14/05/2019 20:14

Despite being absolutely nothing like their target market I have a major Mini Boden addiction so probably 80% of DD's stuff is from there. A mixture of brand new and second hand eBay buys. I like that their clothes are bright and have lots of fun patterns and animals etc rather than being mini versions of trendy adult clothes. I also get a few bits from Next (although some of it can be a bit like mini adult clothes so I avoid those things) and the supermarket, particularly Sainsbury's. M&S I used to like, but think the last couple of years' offerings have been a bit naff.

Ratatatouille · 14/05/2019 20:15

Also the snuggle suits from Frugi are a favourite and I think DD has had one in every size and worn it until it's almost threadbare.

CookieSwirlC · 14/05/2019 20:15

Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Next, Primark and H&M. Oh and charity shops/preloved sites on Facebook.

Youngandfree · 14/05/2019 20:17

Anywhere really but mostly next, h&m, Boden, Zara and primark

I like next for their hoodies,dresses and boys trousers
H&M for their tops (boys and girls)
Boden for girls leggings (perfect fit for my skinny mini) and their girls underwear.
Zara for boys trousers and tops
Primark for hoodies and dresses

Whathappenedtothelego · 14/05/2019 20:19

Second hand from charity shop mainly, sometimes eBay.
New stuff tends to be from M and Co or Sainsbury's.

Echobelly · 14/05/2019 20:21

I often get basics like jogging bottoms, jeans, plain trousers from charity shops.

Occasionally get Mini Boden in the sales, quite a lot of stuff in Mango as it's the nearest kids' clothes shop to work.

That's mostly for DD; hardly ever buy anything for DS, as friend gives us all her son's outgrown clothes.

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 14/05/2019 20:25

Up until she grew out of the ‘younger girl’ ranges I would say Sainsbury’s, H&M, bits from John Lewis, Mothercare Little Bird range.

Nowadays (she’s 9, she’s also at a non-uniform school) I would say H&M and Next (especially the boys T shirts). Few bits from JL, Debenhams. I have found the older girl ranges (7-12) more suited to the upper age, lots of black and fake animal prints Confused.

Greyhound22 · 14/05/2019 20:38

Frugi, Joules, Mini Boden and H&M mainly.

I do buy some second hand but mainly wait for the sales or a discount code. Then sell on when outgrown.

Have recently bought waterproof coats from Mountain Warehouse and Regatta for the first time though as the fashion brands are £££ for coats that then say 'water resistant'.

llamawearingasombrero · 15/05/2019 00:30

Usually Asda, primark and vertbaudet. Occasionally Tesco and once from next. In the past the kids have been given donated clothes from the children's centre when times have been really tough.

llamawearingasombrero · 15/05/2019 00:31

We used to like morhercare and little bird but their clothes have been really ugly recently.

Chippychipsforme · 15/05/2019 06:35

Sainsbury's, Boots, M&S and Next

Sirzy · 15/05/2019 06:36

M and s for trousers. Debenhams for t shirts. The only ones that work with both his sensory issues and thinness

sanityisamyth · 15/05/2019 06:38

Asda

llamawearingasombrero · 15/05/2019 09:33

Past age 6 boys clothes ( in Asda in my experience) seem to be a bit 💩. Full of boring designs/ patterns and boring greys and blacks

I don't like the girls clothes in primark that dd1 really likes( aged 9) they look tacky and a bit to grown up( think lots of sparkles, unicorns and bikinis) but we buy them because she likes them and they are what is available.

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 15/05/2019 10:07

Asda's stuff is really hyper- genderised.

PinkDaydreams · 15/05/2019 10:07

Just want to add that Sainsbury’s are really good with returns. As long as you have the receipt you have a year for a full refund. I buy a lot in the sales and with the extra 25% off events the clothes are a bargain! Wash well too.

theruffles · 15/05/2019 11:42

Sainsbury's, Next, John Lewis, Mini Boden and M&S, mostly because I trust the quality, they last well and they have some lovely, colourful designs. I buy basics from Primark and Asda.

I get a lot of my DD's clothing from charity shops and eBay though. Babies are in their clothes for such a short amount of time that it seems silly to buy things full price when you can find lovely things in charity shops for a fraction of the cost.
