How old is your granddaughter? To be honest I would say it’s pretty risky buying her clothes if you have no idea of her style and what she likes. A gift voucher would probs be more sensible.

But generally speaking brands in favour with teen girls at the moment are Urban Outfitters, Brandy Melville, Monki, H&M, Bershka, Pull & Bear and then online brands like ASOS and Oh Polly.

Trainers you can’t go wrong with a pair of Nikes; either Air Max, Air Force One or Air Jordan’s but all very pricey so an expensive mistake if you get it wrong. You could go with. JD Sports gift card…

I have teenage boys, completely and utterly different senses of 'style'.

I would personally give cash or suggest a shopping trip in include lunch, my eldest hates shopping but lunch always wins him round. Plus you'd get to spend some time with her Smile

Gift card! Jd Sports, or Primark.

Dds got Air Force ones for Christmas, they were £90 for the ones they wanted...

My daughter is into, urban outfitters, Bershka, Zara and PLT. She also likes the brands Unknown and Palm Angels.

So risky choosing stuff for them. As boring as it is you’re far better to give them cash.

Teens have such different tastes. Some teens like my dd love urban outfitters and Asos but others love more sporty stuff - jd sports etc. Such a huge variety of styles!

Give her cash it will be very hard to get clothes right and half the fun of getting new clothes is choosing them yourself.

What a nice Granny Smile. Take her shopping if you can, then you get some quality time and she can pick what she wants. My mum buys DD clothes and whilst DD is very grateful and polite they don't always get worn which is wasteful, but she doesn't want to hurt any feelings by saying anything.

Take her shopping or give her cash - no way that another person can guess as teenagers dress so differently. I have 3 teens and would not be able to guess.

I would second taking her shopping which could be a nice day out. If that is not logistically possible a gift voucher but for somewhere there is a big choice of brands.
