fashion clothing for teenage lads

any one able to advise re online sites to buy fashionable but reasonably priced clothes for 15 and 19 year old sons? I use ASOS, MandM, for daughter (other suggestions gratefully received), but the male offerings on these are limited. Many thanks

    check out republic outlet on ebay and also bench have an outlet bit on their website. My twin boys like the fashion jeans and tshirts from primark as well which works well for me as they are still growing and at 14 are 5ft 9"

    oh and if they have a student card/bline card they can get 10% off from republic stores
  • Depending on how big/tall your 15 year old is, Debenhams do some decent boys stuff and they go up to 16yr. Top Man is useful too, although not all that cheap sometimes. It's good they do xs and xxs in their t-shirts for fashion conscious young teens.
    I have 2 boys 17 (nearly 18) and 13. Both are tall and skinny (youngest is already 5' 11":eek:, but only 26" waist, can wear 28 with belt) and Top Man and Gap are the only place I can find jeans to fit. New Look has a men's bit that is quite fashionable (or so I've been told) and they cater for smaller frames too.

    It's only a game

    Check the outlet places and the out of town shopping parks. Places like Junction 32 in Castleford (near Xscape) or Lakeside Village in Doncaster. These are generally cheaper than the high street stores. The surroundings are also generally more laid back than city centre shopping.

    TK Maxx is a favourite of mine as well. Can find allsorts of stuff in there :p

    Other shops you should check: Westworld (i know there's branches in Leeds and Manchester), Bench Outlet, Exit clothing (decent clearance rails), Junction 32 (near Xcape which is close to Pontefract), Madhouse (does get chavvy at times), H&M, New Look (sucks in my opinion),
  • It depends what kind of "fashionable" you want.

    I know some people who would say that this:

    is fashionable...

    ...Yet many other people would see this:

    as more fashionable.

    Why not take him shopping and see what he likes?
  • Thanks for all the advice, problem we have is weekends are full of sporting fixtures for the kids so browsing shops at leisure with them is a rarity. Using online shopping sites work really well for my daughter, was hoping there was equivelant for the boys. Maybe able to get somewhere in half-term.
