Teen boys - what brands other than Nike / North Face do they like?

My DS doesn't like the all-black / all-grey Nike look. He likes more colour and isn't particularly sporty. I've bought lots from Hollister and A&F sales as they seem to be popular and he seems to like them, but I don't know what other teens would think. DS has bought some bright patterned "resort shirts" that he loves. Where else should we look for clothes?

My ds is going into year 9 and his (slightly nerdy) friends seem to wear band/video game merch, superdry and vans. Ds also likes bright colours/patterns and I got him some nice hoodies from ASOS recently. Most teen boys in my area seem to be embracing the early noughties baggy cargos and graphic t shirt look.

Under Armour

DS17 wears almost all Nike but also Under Armour, Calvin Klein, Berghaus, CP Company and Adidas.

Only for young farmers surely?

Pretty Green.

Depends on the subculture really. One of mine wears lots of Hoodrich and football shirts. The other prefers Vans and Airwalk (with H&M for basics)

Santa Cruz, Fox, Vans, H&M (great if you need slim trousers), Oakley.
