Any tips on where to buy a 5yr old a complete new wardrobe of clothes?!

persil

Hi, my 5yr needs a lot of clothes for the autumn & winter as he's only just fitting into the clothes he has. Can anyone recommend a place to buy decent good value children's clothes? He needs trousers/jumpers/waterproof etc.

Thanks, would be grateful for any suggestions/recommendation.

Primark is good for this type of thing you could get her a full wardrobe for about 50.00 and ive found that most of the stuff washes rearly well

Boots is a bit more expensive than the two above, but their stuff washes well and lasts. Have you got any points that you could use?

Do you have any good markets near you?
We have a good Saturday market in Liverpool (Great Homer Street) Plenty of M&S and Mothercare seconds.
I kept the Grandson going for years very cheaply when he was that age.

I would be trolling the charity shops as they often have loads of kids clothes that are really good quality at a fraction of the prices of the high street. Great for the pocket and great for the environment. You should also find that because your son is at school he should actually need less clothes than previous years as he will only wear them weekends and holidays. If he changes out of school uniform in the evening the same clothes (eg jeans) can be worn for several days with out needing to be washed. I found my ds and dd at this age had far more clothes than was needed once they started school.

Bundles on ebay? Matalan is also worth a look.

Mumsnet nearly new board, or NCT sales.

Hi, thank you very much for all these replies! One problem we have is that as he is currently ill he hasn't been able to attend school and we don't know when he will be able to go so we don't have the option of a uniform! The suggestions are great though and I'll have a look online at them all. Thanks.

I would tend to agree that Asda, Tesco and Primark would be the best bets.

Try local NCT sales, they have heaps of good quality clothes or your local paper, quite often ours has a bag of clothes for £2 etc.

I think Asda are the best for new stuff.

My three grew up clad from NCT sales and charity shops....all the top name labels (if that's what floats your boat) at rock bottom prices. All I ever seemed to buy new was shoes and undies. After about age seven or eight they get more tuned into latest fashions and their growth slows down a bit so it's more worth buying new.

Ebay is good as well. I buy "big" pieces like waterproof jackets and party frocks for DD out of there, also sports gear like karate suits.
