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

I looked at frugi clothes just now and £32 for a cardi for a 2 year old and £25 for a mesh bag to throw your clothes in in the washing machine? 🙀🙀🙀🙀 madness and nonsense!!

Sainsbury’s, Asda and HM. Making the most of cheap clothes because she’s a teenager and wants the expensive stuff Grin

gamerwidow · 17/05/2019 07:17

Ps I do like a charity shop bargain too though.

A lot of it from charity shops (Fara Kids in London most of it). It is a charity that sells only kids'stuff, clothes and also toys. It is great to go to a charity shop full of clothes only for kids, it is a bit overpriced for a charity though, but I tend to buy items that have been reduced further (I work near one of these shops so I go often to have a look).

When I buy new I tend to buy from Sainsburys, Morrisons or Asda, a few things from Matalan or Mothercare but not much. I don't see the point in spending much money in clothes that are not going to be used for a long period of time tbh.

imonlyatoyspider · 18/05/2019 20:01

@bluechameleon wow that's a lot of money for kids clothes

paintwater · 18/05/2019 20:03

H&M for basics, frugi and scandi brands (usually second hand)
Although DS1(7) likes to wear all black and DS2(1.5) prefers to go naked.

BertieBotts · 18/05/2019 20:12

80% second hand bundles/from friends
15% Primark/Aldi/Supermarkets/M&S multipacks
5% H&M/Gap/Boots/Next/M&S - usually on sale.

DS2(1.5) prefers to go naked
Grin yes I’ve got a clothes resistant child too. List count if the times I’ve told DD(9) that yes knickers are compulsory and you need more than just shorts on to go out.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 19/05/2019 12:29

Next, Sainsbury’s, H&M, the odd primark thing

DulcieRay · 19/05/2019 13:31

Charity shops and supermarkets, with some M&S, H&M, Mothercare and Next thrown in for good measure.

imonlyatoyspider · 19/05/2019 14:21

I buy stuff online quite a bit that is discounted. Ds recently got a pair of shoes for £20, discounted from £40.

freshasthebrightbluesky · 19/05/2019 14:47

Tesco, Asda and hand-me-downs from other people

morallybankruptme · 02/06/2019 23:46

There are some cheap very nice clothes on amazon that are shipped from China.i recently bought a nice dress priced at £5

Mermaid04 · 03/06/2019 07:08

H&M, next, George, Tu. I want to start getting some things from mothercare & mamas & papas they have some really cute outfits x

Justwantaneasylifenowplease · 03/06/2019 08:16

DSS - Nike, adidas, Lyle and Scott, Paul smith, next, Abercrombie, quicksilver, R.I.P. curl, bonds and any football strip/anthem jackets. 🙈

WeAreTheWeirdosMister · 03/06/2019 08:21

M and S as MIL shops there and I take back her lovely one dress and cardigan she buys DD for birthday and Christmas and buy basics like school shoes, knickers and socks or sale rail things. Then everything else charity shops.
But we are pretty hard up Grin

Pinkvoid · 03/06/2019 13:01

Sainsbury’s, M&S, Boden, Next, H&M. Love an eBay bargain too.

morallybankruptme · 07/06/2019 14:36

Today I took dd2 to monsoon. The clothes are cute and nice for a special occasion but not practical for everyday use and so expensive. I mean £30 for a skirt for a 2 year old, £60 for a wedding dress for a 6 year old and £20 for a pair of little girl shorts embroidered with a flamenco? Absolutely insane. No wonder they are going broke.

Next has some nice clothes but quite expensive really and no boys pjs in the next local to me.

On the other hand I also had a look in H&M today. My first time in there and was very impressed with the choices and good value for money. We are going back tomorrowGrin

morallybankruptme · 07/06/2019 14:43

A few years ago I ordered a Boden catalogue for dd1. They hassled me so much with advertising that I never actually ordered anything from them. Plus I am too cheap to pay £30 plus for a child's dress

LouisaM100 · 07/06/2019 21:08

When dd was a baby it was only Jacadi, the little white company, petit bateau, ted baker and bon point. Now shes older, i wish i didnt spend that much on clothes that last about 3 months lol, so now its: john lewis, primark (pjs only), gap, h&m, zara, mini boden, occasionally expensive clothes for special occasions.

LuannC · 07/06/2019 21:26

A mixture. Primark, sainsburys, tesco, asda, h&m, next and a lot have been donated by friends and family. Also used to live by children's charity shop so got a decent amount of good quality clothes from there too.

Nuckyscarnation · 08/06/2019 05:39

eBay, Tesco, Morrison’s, Frugi all favourites here.

I also have an addiction to buying handmade clothes from Etsy and personalised stuff from Little Menace Clothing etc if I’m feeling flush!

I have twins and I actually think I’m addicted to buying baby clothesBlush

morallybankruptme · 08/06/2019 08:10

I have downloaded the Zara app. Expensive and I dont think the dcs want to look like they are having afternoon tea with Queen Victoria Hmm
