PortAndLemon - ds too.

so would you say no to all the other animals? Though of some more that I have seen - what about about sharks, lizards, whales, crocodiles, dinosaurs or monsters?

I wouldn't definitely say no to the others -- more that I will definitely buy stuff with giraffes on if I see it. I don't want everything to have animals on but don't have anything against them, I suppose. At the moment he's just grown out of one lovely Monsoon top with dinosaurs on, and has another top with a hippo on (although that was bought because it wss green and he needed a green T-shirt).

lullabyloo · 18/04/2008 22:18

ButterflyMcQueen · 18/04/2008 22:19

some of the charlie & lola stuff by toby tiger is gorgeous - see this hoodie I think it's Toby Tiger, really lovely bright stuff.

Not on the high street have a huge range from small designers with really funky t-shirts in particular

M&S can surprise with some bright jumpers, I bought this for ds1 recently.

I find it really hard other than boden to find bright shorts & trousers that are well-made & will last 2 boys. Tops & jumpers aren't as difficult.

georgiemama · 18/04/2008 22:21

pumpkin patch when feeling extravagent

M&Co when not

Both v good quality actually and wash well, also tend to have high stock turnover so not seeing everyone's little boy in the same stuff.

beansmum · 18/04/2008 22:25

I get all ds's stuff from h&m, usually just jeans and plain t shirts, they have them in tons of different plain bright colours and in long sleeved, short sleeved and sleeveless. Also have lovely shirts, jumpers, sweatshirts everything really. zara is quite good too but the sizes are sometimes a bit weird.

nappyaddict · 18/04/2008 22:50

ButterflyMcQueen · 18/04/2008 22:54

Ah. I am the funky boy clothes queen. Really annoys me how hard it is and I've put in an insane amount of research into it over the years. Could have learnt a new language in the time I've spent.

All the danish brands are good (Molo etc, ask me if interested as I have a list on my Ebay favourites and will be v happy to pass on). No added sugar is also pretty good apart from the freakoid 'lock up your daughters' slogan.

Apart from that, I go to H&M for dark blue jeans with turn-ups and bright striped skinny fit long-sleeved t-shirts.

nappyaddict · 18/04/2008 23:00
