    My 14 year old son and his friends favour Topman (and Primark is OK too).

    How old is your son?

    My brother is 17 and likes Uniqlo, ASOS, Topman, Urban Outfitters and some other random stores online.

    He buys his clothes mostly in the sale.

    When he was in his early teens, we would buy him anything and he would wear it.

    Now he's older, we don't buy him clothes as he's a bit fussy. He works so can afford what he wants anyway.

    my son is 11 but 5'5" and he wear small or XS menwear from Primark and River Island, and H&M, they all fit him fine - in fact he's really gorwing out of the XS stuff now. Jeans I just pick up where and when I find them, he has some Primark 14 year old ones and some small men's jeans from River Island.

    My son's 13. I find a mixture of both brands and cheap works well, for how long I don't know! So he'll have mainly brand-name jeans, and a couple of brand T-shirts, but most of the time will be happy to wear Primark T-shirts along with the brand jeans

    You're right, the supermarkets just don't seem to cater for them. Next is good, but he seems to have outgrown BHS (not sizewise! just the style)

    I don't know if Primark have a teenage boys section, but my son has mainly the XS or S adult's

    Hello again,

    Thanks again for all the replies, ds is smallish for his age (most of his friends tower over him) but not skinny, tesco's, if i get lucky might have some age 13-14 jeans but it really is hit and miss in out local store.

    I desparetely need to get him a few bits as he's off to camp next week so time is running out.

    We dont have a Topman so rules that one out.

    Looks like he's going to have to try on in the shops, he's going to love me! :rotfl:

    My son is 14 in November and buys clothes in Primark (mens), they do an XS but because sizes vary in there he sometimes buys hoodies that are a mens medium. He does like some stuff like Superdry but we buy that for Christmas or birthday. We get casual stuff from sports direct, also mens. My son is skinny as you like and we didnt think mens tracksuit bottoms would be any good but they are fine.
