Can you help me find some? He and I are both equally useless:D
its for a party where the dress code just says ‘smart’. No jackets or suits apparently.
Budget is along the lines of Next rather than Paris catwalk.

thank you!

What brands does he like? My DS has a nice shirt from Lyle and Scott.

Thank you. Hes not into any particular brands. Sorry to be so crsp!

I don’t even know what older teens wear - are shirts tucked in or out? Navy chinos ok or just for old farts? Skinny fit or bell bottoms? :D

I really think it will depend on the area you live in, e.g seaside teens will have a different look to city teens. Kids that go to private school will look different to state school.

I'd go for something like superset, Tommy hilfigher, boss or Lacoste if it was me. But if he's not bothered for brands maybe have a look at Zara or next own.

My 16 year old wouldn't wear chinos but that's just not him, he would do jeans or smart cargos. Again if I was doing chinos I'd perhaps look at superdry or even Primark to get a young style.

It's hard isn't it x

Superdry not superset !
