Where do you shop for a 10yo DS who is size 13?

My DS is very tall for his age and in 13-14 yo sizes. I've always shopped at Tu or M&S because I'm not that bothered about labels or fashion. DS has now started wanting to choose his own 'cool' clothes but I wouldn't know where to go for these. He wants trainers, joggers, T-shirts and hoodies but I don't want to spend a fortune. Any ideas?

Do you have a Gap outlet near by or try it online.
My DD is the same, 10 but in 13 Yr old clothes and prefers the 'boys' stuff, just got some joggers and tops from Gap outlet 30% off which felt warm and comfortable with the colder weather coming in.
Morrisons can also do some good t-shirts and we found some cargo trousers in H&M recently for £10 which DD loves

Thanks rugbymum. I'll have to check if we have a gap outlet nearby and I'll look at h&m.

H&M is great for this age. They do some 3 for 2 deals on their basics range. I find it much better than Primark.

Uniqlo do great stuff.

They change them regularly as well. So there’s always something new.

My 11yo lives in joggers etc and his clothes pretty much all come from Sports Direct and TK Maxx.

Try mandmdirect. Lots of branded clothes as discount price. Got a bundle today for DS, generally all good.

jessyjo2 · 28/10/2020 22:24

Try mandmdirect.

Sports Direct for joggers and tshirts, TK Maxx for hoodies and smart tops.
Had to start jeans in men’s section from age 12 to get leg length/waist right. Primark do 26 or 28 waist and then 30/32 etc leg.
Don’t get me started on school trousers, nightmare!

TKMaxx has definitely helped with my DS(13) who is now Mens medium and has waved goodbye to kids clothes and anything that isn't cool!

My 10yo ds wears H&M (usually size 14+). They are decent prices too.

NeverEnoughCake2 · 28/10/2020 23:13

I've got a tall 10yo too. Next online has worked well for us - their age 13 casual stuff seems to fit him pretty well, and the school trousers have an adjustable waist, so we were able to make the waist size small enough while getting the right length for his legs.

They do have some expensive branded stuff. I tend to go through and favourite stuff I think he might like (and I'm happy to pay for), and then let him choose from that, rather than letting him loose with the entire website. This means we don't get into arguments when he'd like the £40 Nike joggers and I was thinking of something rather cheaper!

Hollister often have xs men sizes on clearance online. Next are good for tall size jeans. We get trainers from Adidas/Nike outlets. Some of the surf brands are good for hoodies etc and often on sale in winter.

H&M are great!
