Honestly if that’s what they’ve asked for, that’s what I’d get. They’ll be very happy.

TigTails · 04/08/2026 08:22

Just buy the child what you know they’d like.

hugasaurus · 04/08/2026 08:23

It being White Fox and what everyone else has is the whole point!

PinkCactusPink · 04/08/2026 08:24

They've probably asked for White Fox because that's what everyone else has and they like the look of them.

My DD has 3 White Fox hoodies, they are good quality, nice and cosy so I'd just stick with that brand if budget allows.

The reason you want to avoid it is the reason they want to have it. Just get them what they’ve asked for . White fox has been popular for a couple of years now . If they open something you have chosen and it’s not what they were expecting they will be bitterly disappointed, and either never where it or sell it on vinted .

You can't buy the wrong thing.

At that age, the brand IS the thing.

Reportingfromwherever · 04/08/2026 09:00

Just get them what they want. It’s very odd to deliberately NOT get what they’ve asked for.

FionnulaTheCooler · 04/08/2026 09:03

If you're really determined to avoid White Fox then Kaiia and Aybl seem to be trendy at the minute too. I'd just get the White Fox though, sign up to their mailing list and they're always sending discount codes so I don't think I've ever paid full price for a hoodie.

Ineedanewsofa · 04/08/2026 09:06

Vinted is your friend for this one! I got DD a “white fox” hoodie, pretty much brand new, for a tenner. Is it real? Who knows but it passed muster, got worn everywhere for about 4 weeks and then forgotten about as they are no longer trendy in her group. She still mooches round the house in it, as do I (she loves massive baggy jumpers so it looks like a normal jumper on me 😂)

Don't be that parent/relative. This is how I ended up with market 2 stripe tracksuit bottoms in the 90s instead of the Adidas 3-stripes I wanted plus a load of other stuff I didn't ask for - so they could get "more for the money".

tinyspiny · 04/08/2026 09:08

If the want White Fox then get that , it’s been popular for a few years now which is why they want that type

mtobrokeme · 04/08/2026 09:09

Yes. You could get White Fox! The hoody with the massive gaudy label is the point!

RealEagle · 04/08/2026 09:10

Why buy something they don’t want?

Sparkletastic · 04/08/2026 09:10

Yeah get the one they asked for. I never got over the ‘not Girl’s World’ alternative that my mum got me because she thought it had ‘prettier eyes’ 😬

spritzwiththat · 04/08/2026 09:19

Don’t buy a dupe. If they want White Fox that’s what they want. Go 2nd hand if worried about cost xx

TheGirlWhoLived · 04/08/2026 09:24

If they want white fox then there isn’t really a dupe! If you want to buy them a nice hoody then there’s some comfy ones in h and m, or new look but they aren’t the white fox hoody that their friends have

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 04/08/2026 09:25

Another vote for get White Fox. Don't you remember being a kid at that age, the whole point is that either you want the same stuff your mates have, or you want to look nothing like any of your mates.

If you go for something that looks like what your mates have got but isn't the same make, then you're just getting the worst of both worlds.

Branleuse · 04/08/2026 09:25

I think a branded hoodie or a branded t-shirt of the brand she wants is the best thing. She will remember it forever.

Iloveeverycat · 04/08/2026 09:29

If she has asked for White fox get white fox.

Booklin · 07/08/2026 07:42

I got the white fox! Though by stupid chance, others also bought some so they now have 3. Hoping they dont like mine so I can return!
