Fluffy or velvety for 12yo boy

14 replies

VenusClapTrap · 12/11/2024 10:11

Ds(12) is very tactile and has always loved soft fluffy things. Over the years he’s had (and loved) faux fur jackets, velvet trousers and fluffy jumpers, usually from girls sections as for some inexplicable reason, boys sections don’t do this stuff.

I want to buy him something like this for Christmas. A jumper or shirt ideally. The trouble is, all the girls ones now are cropped or scoop necked, which just aren’t going to work.

I’ve searched but not come up with anything. Any suggestions? To make it harder, he hates logos/words on clothes and anything brightly coloured. He likes black, green (as long as not bright), navy, grey, brown, mustard. Thanks.

What about a thick brushed cotton shirt?

Oh should have said - not a smart velvet blazer - he’s already got one.

He likes brushed cotton, but was thinking fluffier really.
He doesn’t like Oodies.
Already got several Borg type fleeces

Try vinted?? You might get some 'vintage' fluffy things which aren't all shaped as the fashion is now.

Could also try looking for women's size 8 fairly fitted fluffy jumpers might fit?? You could ask for measurements then compare against something he wears that does fit.

Thanks @minipie, those are nicely fluffy. I think he might be picky about the pocket on the H&M one, but the Uniqlo one is a definite contender.

Vinted is a good idea. I’ve been a bit put off after buying something that smelt of cigarettes, but maybe I’ll give it another chance.

A flannel / brushed cotton lumberjack shirt jacket

I have an adult sized version of that Uniqlo fleece and can confirm that it is very very fluffy!
