good quality boys' clothes, recommendations please since Boden won't fit ds this summer

[deaconblue]

He's a big 4 year old so the 3-4 won't fit but he's not big enough for the 5-6 size. grr thought might look at Joules but other than that have no clue. Am sick of the shrinking/bobbling of Next

Zara

Are you sure? Boden did individual ages last time I looked (about 5 minutes ago!).

Leave Boden behind. Embrace Zara.

H&M but be picky
I usually size up with boden and get 2 years wear....

Ah, not tops - but they can be worn baggy or tight.

have just bought boden stuff for ds and it is individual sizes- lots of trousersetc have adjustable waitsso always go up and try to get 2 seasons out of them

otherwise H and M, and Sainsburys/Tesco and John Lewis

john lewis quite nice actually

and lots of that danish stuff too - katvig etc though it is v distinctive and may not be your cuppa tea

i always buy summer stuff big and get two years wear out of them

otherwise i like H&M, M&S, JL, JoJo Debenhams (Junior J, duffer etc but size up)

John Lewis have some lovely things in for boys. Fat Face, H&M (but be prepared to sift through) even Tesco have some nice things in - again, you need to be prepared for a rummage But I think Tesco's cotton socks are lovely and bright for boys and last extremely well.

I think it is possible to get away with a larger size at Boden. Like Mazzystartled, I size up and get two years' wear for my boys.

Sorry to shout but you must look at ZARA

Definitely Zara. I don't have a boy, but their boys' stuff looks good.

I love ikks and miniman for boys

thanks everyone, do Zara have online shopping? Boden trousers are individual sizes but hte 5-6 tops are for 116cm and ds is only 104 now so will be massive in the summer. Think Debenhams do online too (we have massive shopping centre with nowt but crap in it here)

Gap are quite good but do come up small - for a big 4 year old you'd need to check out age 5 or 6?

sainsburys are ok as well actually - although the range is a bit random but v good value - sizing is biggish for trousers (so age 4 might well be ok) but go up a size in tops
