Teenagers

Where do you get teenage boy's clothes from?

I have always shopped at Next for my kids but as they get older I find Next's clothes are becoming quite babyish in style.

My friend was saying how she buys her 14 year old DD's clothes from Top Shop etc and it got me thinking...where would you buy a 14 year old boy's clothes from?? (not sportswear).

Tesco and Burtons for tops but he tells me I'm not allowed to tell anyone about Tesco . M&S and Next for trousers. He fits in small to medium mens clothes and he's average size.

H&M and TKMaxx for my DS. Gap and Debenhams in the sales. Tesco and Asda often have good stuff too. He's 14 and slightly under average height for his age. Some of the Top Man stuff looks like he wouldn't be too far off getting into the smaller sizes - might be worth checking that out for your DS?
It's a really difficult age for boys, loads of shops for girls of that age but as you say a lot of boys stuff is too childish. Will be glad when he's big enough to get into the small size men's stuff.

H&M is where my teenage brother gets most of his stuff. He tells me its 'cool'. In fact he is the family arbitor of 'cool'.

Me and my mum think he should wear his trousers higher to cover his pants but he says we are (I quote) 'fashion wallies'

I have a friend whos DS1 has just turned 16 - but he loves Topman and Burton (although he does also love shops that do Fenchurch, Volcom stuff aswell so if Topman is cool enough for him it would be cool for your DS.

Agree that H&M is very good - reasonably cheap and reasonably cool.
