9 year old DS recently needed new summer clothes. I was casually chucking H&M and m&S T-shirts into the basket when DD (14, very fashionable) took over as apparently he was looking lame.

  • cotton Nike and Adidas shorts. Not sports ones- sort of T-shirts material
  • Nike and Hype T-shirts
  • champion hoodie.

He looks fine. They're apparently very comfy which is all he's bothered about!

DomsMumClassic · 26/05/2020 15:51

H&M mostly. A little Boden, gap and Sainsbury's too. He only wears black, grey, navy, plain clothes. He's far more bothered about those requirements than where they're from.

When shopping for my nephew of that age I’ve bought a few bits from Zara and I’ve seen him in them so can’t be too uncool 🤣

Exactly the same, with occasional sportsdirect if something is cheaper there
BlusteryLake · 26/05/2020 16:12

H&m and Boden mostly. Also John Lewis. For treats and presents he likes horribly overpriced "merch" from his favourite you-tubers.

Crystal87 · 26/05/2020 18:26

Sports Direct for sports brands. He has a few hooded tops, t shirts and jogging bottoms from Primark although now he's more into certain brands that all his friends have, mostly Under Armour and Nike.

TSSDNCOP · 26/05/2020 18:28

Nike and Adidas for shorts/sweats
Vans/superdry/animal for t shirts and hoodies
Diesel and Next for jeans
R&b for naice shoes; Gazelles/trainers for kicking

AnnaNimmity · 26/05/2020 18:43

he likes JD Sports and H&M.

AnnaNimmity · 26/05/2020 18:43

and Nike trainers

Mbear · 26/05/2020 18:48

I’ve just rediscovered Benetton and everything is really good quality. DS is 10, so bit old for some ranges and bit young (and small) for teen stuff.

PickUpAPickUpAPenguin · 26/05/2020 18:51

Nike, Adidas, JD Sports, H&M

Jedstre · 26/05/2020 19:14

JD sports, sports direct and primark

BikeRunSki · 26/05/2020 19:21

H&M, Gap, Sainsbury’s, a bit of Next, the odd bit of Boden. He has a Hype T shirt, but doesn’t get the “hype”, he just likes the print.

notasportymum · 26/05/2020 19:29

he’s gone right off the beautifully made, great to wash Boden stuff lately. This years haul came from H&M, Alex & Alexa sale, Get the Label, Saltrock.
