Teen clothes for DS that isn’t sports wear

Suggestions of where I can get DS13 clothes that isn’t sports wear. He doesn’t like joggers or hoodies, and that’s all there is in the shops. Everything has logos on ‘Nike/adidas’ or slogans ‘game over, minecraft’ etc. Looking for plain jeans/chino type trousers, t shirts, polos and shirts.

Is he in men's sizes yet? That really makes a difference.

I'd suggest:
Next
M&S
Pull & Bear
Superdry
John Lewis

Try Uniqlo

Try River Island, New Look and H&M.

H&M
Next
M&S
New look

All have teen ranges that aren't just sports wear and potentially at 13, could fit in to a small menswear (although the price goes up).

LIZS · 07/12/2022 16:58

H and M , River Island

Hollister?

Thanks for all your suggestions. He's not quite in a men’s small so still looking at children’s wear. Saw a few plain T shirts in H&M but only jogger style trousers. M&S similar, including Harry Potter??? Will try Next, New Look and RI.

Gap are still available online. They go up to 13yrs in boys but also do XS men's sizes.

MeJane · 07/12/2022 21:43

The shops are full of combat trousers and flannel check shirts to be worn with a plain T-shirt.

LaCerbiatta · 07/12/2022 21:56

Zara?

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 07/12/2022 22:01

Mango has a teen range.

EvilRingahBitch · 07/12/2022 22:03

Primary's jeans and trousers are pretty good. Not widely stocked though.

Intheora · 07/12/2022 22:42

Uniqlo xs

NotMeNoNo · 07/12/2022 22:57

Next are best for plain un-logo'd basics that continue through the size ranges. It's a bit of a wilderness around 13/ 14 between kids and men's sizes.

NotMeNoNo · 07/12/2022 22:58

You will probably have to order online though

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 07/12/2022 23:04

Next do a good selection of kids clothes up to Age 16 online.

converseandjeans · 07/12/2022 23:24

John Lewis
Vans
Santa Cruz
H&M
Primark
Converse

Zara & Mango run small, he could get away with XS in their clothes. And the younger Spanish chains like Bershka, Pull & Bear etc. will fit but their current style seems to be oversized (on purpose) so it's a matter of looking at all their pieces... New Look might do suitable trousers? Asos for easy access to search many, many brands at once.

Primark , next , supermarkets, , h&m etc all have non sport stuff
