Not Northface for teen

14 replies

Hello, please can people give me some ideas on what older teens might wear as out wear that isn't Northface. NF is so ubiquitous now and I literally cringe when it gets thrown over everything whether it suits the outfit or not. I'm trying to suggest a new alternative. Any suggestions?

A lot of the teenagers I teach (especially the boys) in Year 9 and above love their Zavetti jackets.

@SprinkleOfSunak I'll take a look and see what she thinks thank you

Yes definitely check with your DD as Zavetti is seen as the uniform of wannabe roadmen round here. Berghaus would be the North Face alternative for my teens.

Not Zavetti here either it's worn with prison style grey tracksuits, a vape and Jordan's.

Berghaus, Ralph Lauren, Carhartt, Stüssy ( we're lucky to have an outlet village) or there's vinted.

Also definitely not Stone Island or anything like superdry

Is north face fashionable these days?!

piscesangel · 08/11/2023 16:52

It's the required brand for coats etc for tweens and early teens round by us, not so much for older teens

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 08/11/2023 16:52

My y8 13yo DD wears a North Face rain mac

crazypavingstar · 08/11/2023 16:54

Also Carhartt

North face Ninjas are all the rage for teenagers around my neck of the woods

Rab is good outerwear, don't know if teens would wear it though, and it's expensive. My teens are into Jack-wolf skin.

Just let them wear what they want? 🤷🏼‍♀️

And be grateful it's not Canada Goose, which they're all wearing round here and which costs an absolute fortune!

That's why I'm asking. What are older teens wearing ?
