Shopping with my DS is painful. He’s not a slave to fashion, usually knows what he doesn’t like, but can’t always articulate what he does like. He doesn’t always know what the latest trends are, and is ok with that, but would hate to wear something that is stand out un-cool, so I think he just ties himself in knots when it comes to choosing trainers (so just going to a shop and seeing what he like can be pretty arduous).
He really needs some new trainers for spring / summer though. Can you share what yours are wearing/wishing for? I know it can vary by area, one teen’s cool is another ‘I wouldn’t be seen dead in those’, but it would help make the experience a little less painful (for me) if I could suggest some options which might help him choose…
