Like White Fox but not White Fox

My daughter has asked for a White Fox tracksuit for her birthday. I'm happy to get her a bougie tracksuit but the WF ones are 50% polyester and will soon look rubbish - that's no different from a Primark tracksuit is it?

She is very influenced by Insta etc (eye roll).

So I'm looking for a bougie tracksuit, that teens will think cool, but if I'm spending that ££ I'd like a lux high cotton fabric, not overpriced cheap stuff.

So women, whats cool with the teens in this department? I'm hoping you can help me.

I'd probably just get her what she's had asked for 😂

Mynewnameis · 24/04/2024 11:13

Buy her what she wants fgs

BigBadBarri · 24/04/2024 11:13

Just get her the tracksuit. Nothing is worse as a pre-teen when you want something and your mum gets you the less cool but more practical version

LadyDanburysHat · 24/04/2024 11:16

White Fox is horribly overpriced. DD bought herself a hoodie with her Christmas money, but it does wash well, and is thick decent quality.

RobinEllacotStrike · 24/04/2024 11:22

OK OK I'm told!

I was hoping there was something "just as cool and overpriced" rather than wanting to get something uncool.

Good to hear the quality is ok - I'll get her the fugly thing & make all her "dreams" (for this week) come true.

Only White Fox will do 😉

BrandyandGinger · 24/04/2024 11:42

They are overpriced but my dd has two hoodies and they're washing well. In fairness, she wears old hoodies around the house and keeps the White Fox ones for when people can see her.

RobinEllacotStrike · 24/04/2024 11:46

this is very new to me. I'm not a branded clothing person at all (I'm very much no logo) and neither is DD1. DD2 however, she loves it.

I've order the tracksuit, got 20% off so got her a water bottle and socks - all branded WHITE FOX. She will be pleased.

Right decision op!

03cg73 · 24/04/2024 13:12

If it makes you feel any better, my DD has multiple white fox tracksuits/tshirts/shorts etc and they wash very well. Some of them are years old now and still look new

The quality of white fox stuff is very very good

thank you - this is good to know. My main concern is they would be all bobbly and nasty after a few washes, so great to know they wash well.

"she wears old hoodies around the house and keeps the White Fox ones for when people can see her"

@BrandyandGinger this makes me smile!

We eat a lot of curry and I'm always getting DD to take her pale hoodies off while eating as she is 100% bound to get tumeric stains on them and then they will be relegated to "home only" wear 😁

Pangaia! Apparently a sustainable, earth friendly company. Much more expensive but 100% cotton and I bought lots of NWT from Vinted. The quality is excellent and beautiful colours.

Oops posted before seeing your update that you bought it already.

RobinEllacotStrike · 24/04/2024 13:32

I will take a look at Pangaia - the Xmas list will be getting written soon enough!

They are nice hoodies and quite decent fabric. My daughter also has hoodies and trackies from Mars The Label and they are lovely, she and all her uni friends wear that brand. They are less expensive!

SomethingIn · 24/04/2024 15:09

You have a teen DD surely you know about how fashion works

Buy her the bloody White Fox hoody she's asked for

It's not rocket science

DevonCream · 24/04/2024 18:10

But which style did you get her? There are tons on the website but the teens I know only want the 'offstage' one. And get a smaller size. They're massive

Well done for being a cool mum 👏🏼 my daughter has a White Fox hoodie and it's super comfy and washes well.

ABirdsEyeView · 24/04/2024 19:49

My dd was eyeing up the trackie bottoms yesterday. I'm a bit concerned that you have to pay for both delivery and returns and they only offer store credit not refunds if the fit isn't right.

poppinpink · 24/04/2024 22:47

My DD got a white fox hoodie for Xmas. I haven't looked at the material it's made of but its very soft, thick and has washed well. She loves it!

mumofthree22 · 24/04/2024 22:52

My DD had the tracksuit and hoodie for her birthday and washes really well and she loves it

MintyFurball · 25/04/2024 00:14

My DC has two, bought for Christmas when it was 40% off and they both still look like new.

RobinEllacotStrike · 02/05/2024 07:07

She's very happy!

Is White Fox still in fashion for tweens or is there something else?
