Help needed! 18 year old DNephew wants me to take him shopping!

[cardamomginger]

He's from a not-particularly-fashion-conscious country and is fed up of looking the same as everyone else. He won't want cutting edge and uber-hip stuff, as he does still need to fit in back home. But he does want something that's a bit stylish.

Where do I take him? I have no idea!!! Where do you take your teenage DS's???

Thank you!

Hollister or Jack Wills.

Thanks. Never been into Hollister before .

Should also have added I think he (or more likely his Mum) is looking for cheaper options.

How about outlets?

I would check what the current fashion is in the country he lives in, to avoid getting home with something that's not in fashion there.

Down here, it seems that red, blue or green suede loafers, (dressy) shorts and a polo shirt is in fashion. Maybe even with an expensive designer bag.

The shrunken in wash hipster look might be the way to go? In that case, Zara could be an option. For a more classic look, Massimo Dutti could be relevant.
Topshop maybe?

DS aged 20, shops a lot in River Island. Also Hollister have a cheaper shelf where slightly out of season stuff goes so might be worth seeking that out. It will be towards back of shop.

GAP

Thanks everyone. Really helpful to have some starting points!

My teenage nephews shop in topshop, h & m, and VANS.

Have emailed him some links. Thank you!
