Help with teenage boy clothing

4 replies

Ultravox · 06/12/2025 12:04

DS (age 14) sent me a short list of a few bits of clothing he would like for Xmas. Unfortunately I didn’t get on it right away and now everything is sold out 😥

He wanted this long sleeve black top & I’m trying to find something similar but finding it difficult:

Can anyone help with ideas? Even just some brands that your teenagers wear would help.

(I know I could take him shopping and I will in the sales after Christmas but I’d like a couple of things as a surprise for him on the day)

Black Longsleeve

This Longsleeve  is made from 100% premium cotton with a 280GSM weight. It features a high-quality puff print and is available in limited stock. Shipping time: 2-5 Days

Honestly if he wanted that specific too I wouldn't try to substitute it. Either ask him for another suggestion or do him an IOU for when it comes back in stock.

I have a 15yr old boy who is very into his clothes but I've never heard of the brand you've linked. It looks like Stussy could be similar, but I'd be honest with him and ask if he wants to pick something else.

It very much depends on their style and their crew at their age. My ds like brands that some other teens would turn their nose up at and vice versa.

He likes CP company, Napapijri, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Lyle and Scott, Nike, Fred Perry, Lacoste, Represent.
It changes often too for example recently asked for the North Face trousers which a few months ago he would have found naff.

This is so area / school / tribe dependent. I’ve got daughters but mid teen nephews are all in Carhaart and vans.

I agree. I wouldn't attempt to replace the sold out too because the brand might be really important, of the 23 on the back of it!
