my ds1 is 10.5yr he dresses alot in bright colours yellow, pink purple etc i like h&m atm for him.

I hate the majority of boys clothes. Im a nightmare when shopping for ds as all shops thend to stock are "typrical" boyish designs and colours...not my taste.

I do love P.O.P for boys tops and ted baker do nice things... Ds's wardrobe is about half the size of dd's but I guess his is more expensive or even the same value as I rarely find "cheaper" stuff for him iykiwm...Tesco/asda is a no no for me for boys stuff sadly...

Tesco and asda are a huge no no in my book too. Their tops are also a bit 'square' shaped like next and they don't have anything plain at all. I have actually seen a pair of baseball boots for ds1 in asda that are gorgeous and are only £11, so will be getting them with next weeks shopping. Tops and pants are shocking though. Girls stuff is ok, fortunately dd is fond of chav clothes

I think there can be a huge snobbery tho over clothes. I've had some fantastic pieces from George, Tesco and Tu. I bought some lovely shaggy lined hooded tops from tu for about £9 each much much nicer than the boden ones that are twice the price.

Also i really like H&M they do alot of their tops more slim fitting Suwoo. Depends on the shape of your child. In that link that nappyaddict kindly put up of my ds3 i don't personally think he suits so well the slim fitting styles of alot of the scandinavian brands. He's quite a chubby lad however ds1 and 2 are v.slim and look fabby in skinny jeans.

i find boys don't usually want to go out with an animal design unless they're very little and wouldn't care what they were wearing anyway

Depends on the design though, SEA - my ds would wear a shirt with a panda on, but not a cutie-pie panda, more a kung-fu panda or a panda on a motorbike. He probably would not wear a t-shirt with lots of little pandas on it, though, no matter how cool they were. Although weirdly, he might wear a design like that in the form of a hawaiian shirt for summer over a plain t-shirt. In warmer months, he likes to channel his inner Tom Selleck.

Oh my gosh I am so sorry Nicola!! I saw your link on here of DS3 in that top and thought of this thread so I went on ebay to link to one similar and I must have copy and pasted the wrong tab. Hopefully not too much damage caused as you don't mind links of the DC being on MN? This was what I meant to link to.

Kids should be Kids do very slim fitting stripy tshirts & they're lovely quality (can't remember who was asking). I think there's a 20% discount code around at the moment too. Can't remember who was asking about slim fit stripes...

Yeah it was me looking for slim fitting stripes. Loving that site, thanks.

no worries, think I shall buy some more soon!

Hmmm I am liking these, here and matilda loves archies looks good too.
