Primark, H&M, jack wills, superdry, hype and next.

Mokepon · 05/10/2018 20:43

Mine is a bit younger but very into clothes - although she lives in leggings and hoodies!
Mainly New Look, H&M, a bit from Primark.

Tatapie · 05/10/2018 22:34

NewLook teen section

MissWimpyDimple · 05/10/2018 23:03

Zara and H&M mostly. Some New Look.

Also primark small adults.

championquartz · 05/10/2018 23:10

Zara
H&M
Mango
I find it really difficult as DD is a tall 13 yo and has grown out of Zara kids and most kids sections but isn’t quite teenagery enough for the teen and trf Zara section. I recently got some nice sweatshirts from Zara kids. But the jeans are just too short.

Tatapie · 06/10/2018 08:41

Just bought DD jeans from top shop, not cheap but she's not into having masses of clothes so think she/ I'll get my monies worth! They do different leg lengths so great as she's tall too.

BananaBonanza · 06/10/2018 08:44

Primark

PiperPublickOccurrences · 06/10/2018 08:48

I have a 13 year old girl and understand the issues completely! Some of the adult fashion is far too grown up, a lot of the children's ranges too babyish.

She gets a lot from Primark in the ladies' ranges, New Look and when she has birthday money will treat herself to something from Hollister. Gap for basics.

Topshop for my nearly 14 year old and 12 year old. Older one likes Urban Outfitters too as well as Pull and Bear.
Primark on occasion too.

mizu · 06/10/2018 10:13

Urban Outfitters with birthday money - it's bloody expensive!

MsJolly · 06/10/2018 10:16

Hollister, super dry, primark, H&M, adidas, new look

So a combination of expensive and cheap and as my 13 yr old describes it as...chav! Which is apparently good!😂

flumpybear · 06/10/2018 10:18

Nightmare! My just 10 year old wears age 15 - but she's very girly and loves party dresses ... ug!

Fresta · 06/10/2018 10:30

Hollister, Topshop petite section, New Look teen section (but nasty cheap stuff), River Island kids section (big fitting so she still buys some stuff to fit there although only officially up to age 12 size- she's very slim though), H&M (wears size 4 or 6 adult as kids section a bit naff). Sometimes zara kids.

She won't entertain Next- too square, or most things in Zara- too European!

HowMa · 06/10/2018 10:30

Superdry, Nike, Addidas, Primark, H&M, Top shop

HiHoToffee · 06/10/2018 10:37

New Look, H&M, Primark, Matalan, Peacocks, ASOS

BerylStreep · 06/10/2018 14:21

H&M, matalan, t shirts from amazon

Baxdream · 06/10/2018 14:26

Misguided

Richlyfruited · 06/10/2018 14:42

flumpybear - have you tried Vertbaudet? Good for party dresses and go up to age 14 iirc.

We buy a lot from TK Maxx, GAP and John Lewis. My dd's not massively fashion conscious - she lives in cropped sweatshirts and skinny jeans!

Jeanclaudejackety · 06/10/2018 17:11

My niece is 13 but super slim and wears around an age 10. She likes Matalan 9-15 Yr old range, the odd topshop top in a size 4 or 6, h&m kids for leggings and jeans, JD sports for Nike and North Face, and River Island kids for party stuff

Wineloffa · 06/10/2018 17:14

Primary, H&M, New Look.

TantricTwist · 06/10/2018 17:51

My DD 11 has just come home from shopping alone with her friends in Town and bought clothing items from New Look, Zara and Victoria Secret plus some bits and bobs from Primark

FlamingoLass · 06/10/2018 17:56

Hollister, superdry, Victoria’s Secret Pink

Basically everything I wear (fml)

VictoriaVictoria · 06/10/2018 17:59

She shops largely at Jack Wills. She waits for promotions/sales though as it is expensive, but it is such good quality, washes really well. Because of her shopping there, I have bought a few jumpers (they are not branded Jack Wills) and t-shirts (again, not branded over the front) that are lovely Smile we don't choose the same things though!
