New clothes for 11/12 year old boy HELP PLS

Hello all, would really appreciate any pointers on this.
My ds has been ill for a few years and is just starting to feel a bit better. Up to this point he's mostly been at home lounging in pjs and bottoms- a pair of jeans has done when he's gone out. He's started to take an interest in his clothes again and I'd like to get him some nice clothes, shoes & trainers that are decent quality and fairly up to date....but I have no idea where to look.
He's tall and in size 14/15 clothes, & slim.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be really grateful. TIA

hello, I'm not a big fan of Boden for womenswear, but my nearly 12 year old still likes Boden I think the quality is pretty good in the kids' range. I just got him a pair of Johnnie B trousers which he liked.

Superdry or hollister.

Zara do lovely boys clothes. I find the boys stuff quite trendy and comfy. My DS1 loves zara stuff.

I'm really glad your son is starting to feel better!

How lovely that he is feeling better

My tall 13 yo likes Superdry (try their outlet on ebay) Hollister (expensive but do good discounts periodically) Jack and Jones for his hoodies and T shirts. For less expensive bits and pieces I find H and M very handy. You will probably find small men's sizes fit him in all those stores

Superdry
Abercrombie
Hennes for basics

Next is the only place I can get trousers for my ds as he is quite tall and slim. They do lots of their trousers in slim fit, you can only get them online tho, just standard fit in store.

Next/H&M and a few bits from Boden.

Mine love Nike trainers (cheaper at Sports Direct), Converse and Vans.

iseenodust · 16/01/2015 11:24

Agree Next online & Sports Direct for the footwear. Not wanting to be flamed but you can get good quality t-shirts (eg fruit of the loom) from Amazon with Big Bang Theory/Marvel comic heroes etc .

Hi everyone, thanks for all the suggestions. I should be able to find something good in all of those!

Hype clothing seems popular round here for boys - da 11 has a few t shirts (JD sports) and they wash lovely without ironing (major bonus). Agree with all other suggestions but would add in Primark - ds particularly likes their straight jeans/chinos

Ah, thanks so much for commenting on his improved health! Bit teary-eyed Blush
