School Uniform

[Fadingawayagain]

I don’t know if I should post here. Although I read on MN and have posted previous I find it quite confusing to navigate sometimes.

Anyway, this is probably really silly and an easy answer but I get quite anxious over silly things and just looking for advice.
DS is entering year 2 in September, just before the end of year 1 he had grown out of uniform and bought him new trousers, jumpers etc, he got about a months use out of them maybe a bit more. Do I buy new to enter a new term? I have always done a bulk shop at the start of a term and of course things like new shoes, pe trainers, shirts and bags will be got for this term but the trousers and jumpers still fit him. Would I be quite mean to not buy fresh ones until he needs them?

I know it sounds silly because of course it makes sense to not spend anymore money unnessacarily but I like the idea of going in all fresh and new.

Advice please. ☺️

Hell no!

If they still fit him he doesn’t need new things just because it’s September.

I totally understand the anxiety around this but honestly, his things will be fine. X

No, of course you don't buy new school uniform if you don't need new school uniform, it would be mean to waste the old.

No. They're still new and fit him fine so no need to buy new ones just because it's a new school year.
I just get them the items they have outgrown or had for a while.
You can put the money aside towards Christmas or something else.
No point buying when they don't need.

Thank you for your replies. I did lean towards this answer. Just needed clarification ☺️ Thank you guys x

mine will even keep last years shoes - they are only 5 months old, fit fine and are in great shape. the only bew thing is pe kit (different one required), shirts and a new backpack

DD had a growth spurt at the end of last term, so she has new stuff she has worn for less than a month, she will get a couple of new shirts so I have enough to do one wash a week (only bought her 3 as wasn't sure if she'd grow more over the summer) and some socks as I swear she eats them but I'm not replacing stuff shes barely worn.
