Jojomamanbebe

Is jojomamanbebe considered a middle class brand like boden?

Yep. Like Boden it isn’t as fashionable as it once was.

Oh I see. Which are the fashionable children's clothes brands nowadays? Thank you.

I'd say so. They both make good quality stuff. Jojo clothes last forever.

I’d disagree JoJo is good quality. My mum kept buying DD these jersey dresses from there and 50% of them split at the seams after only a couple of washes and it definitely wasn’t bad luck because in total I reckon I had about 12 of them in various colours from sizes 3-6 months up to 3-4 years. Their stores are also shit. It’s the only baby clothes shop near mum and I’ve tried to get bits in there before, once they literally had no boys aged 2 trousers. None at all. Thankfully Sainsbury’s came through as it was an emergency! Then a whole wall of beach/pool shoes but not a single pair in a size 6, hardly an unusual toddler size.

For good quality baby and kids clothes these days I prefer the French brands like Petit Bateau and Jacadi, and if you have money to burn Bonpoint. They tend to run small though so you would usually need to size up for an average sized British kid!

All the trendy parents round here dress their kids in Mini Rodini and Bobo Choses.

I've found JJMB pretty good personally, especially for things like socks and waterproofs.

(I'm not fashionable)

I'm on DC4 and they're wearing JJMB clothes bought for DC1, and I'll still be able to sell them on for a few ££ each. They're bomb proof in my experience!

I like Frugi and Kite clothing. Got bored of JJMB if I'm honest.

For day to day clothes, Sainsburys, Next and FatFace (from Vinted) are our go to.

This is interesting as I’m middle class and I still consider both JMB and Boden too expensive.

JJMB clothes do really well for my DC, they wash well and the fabric is sturdy enough to survive activities that seem to leave some other clothes with holes and snags. We haven't been into the party dresses - firmly in the 'running around exploring ' phase just now.

I would say so. Most of the locations of their shops are very middle class

It's one of the brands I willingly buy second hand
I have a bunch of clothes from them donated from friends. Since 9-12 month clothes my daughter has been in a clothes size for at least a year so they have to put up with a lot and it separates out the poor from the well constructed clothes!

Polarn O Pyret is middle class

Used to be, until Next bought it.

Maybe you are not middle class...

Well, I am. But it’s not justifiable to me spend £57 on a 4 year old’s coat that he’ll wear less than a year when I can get the same from Asda for £17.

I think middle class covers a wide range though tbf.

I checked both of them.. too 90's vibes for my liking ...

I'm not sure you can consider yourself middle class when 57£ a year is too expensive for you.

JJMB quality is much better than Asda ..

Very much a sweeping statement when you don’t know anything about me. My money goes on other more important things like nursery fees. £57 is a lot of money for 1 item at that age when they need a whole new wardrobe every year.

And quality isn’t an issue. I can assure that the Asda coat is still good as new, and i don’t need lots of quality when he will grow out of it in the year.

I would recommend Petit Bateau. Love their stuff! Also cannot go wrong with Next!

Personally, I would question spending £57 on something if I feel I can get the same thing for £20 elsewhere. That's not about class, it's about value for money.

Also, what difference does it make what class someone is, or what's trendy to dress your child in? Just dress them in what they and you like and think is appropriate. It all ends up covered in food and mud anyway.

I like JJMB but their LS tops are naff, go all misshapen within a couple of washes. Their baby grows however I find very good quality.

I would say I’m middle class, and also love Frugi, Polarn O Pyret and Next, M&S, Sainsbury’s and Asda have it’s place also

Exactly this.

It is definitely about value for money and what the clothes will be used for. Most of my son’s clothes are from supermarkets, with some Next/M&S/Mothercare thrown in. A lot of his clothes get paint stained at nursery.

I am more inclined to spend more money on clothes for myself that I will wear for years, but not for a child who wears them for one year. This doesn’t mean i am not ‘middle class’. Each to their own though :)

Urgh what a stinking attitude you have. Why the obsession with "class"? And whether someone can afford something vs. whether they think it's a good use of their money are two totally separate things. Buy your kids the clothes you like and that you think they'll get wear out of. Simples.

Urgh you sound so up yourself @Alohapotato !! You are literally asking (and prepared to buy by the sounds of it) which brands are considered the most fashionable. Not concerned about quality or value for money.. just the label! Keeping up with the Jones' eh
