Where do teens shop for clothes?

thriftyemma

My eldest is growing up fast! He currently wears clothes aged 13-14, and as he has no interest in fashion yet, I buy his clothes for him. I shop supermarket ranges, and the purse-friendly high street shops like Primark and H&M. All of these seem to stop children's clothing at size 14 years-ish, and adult male clothing is too big. Where on earth do I buy young adult clothing from??
Thanks in advance, a slightly clueless mum.

Pull and Bear. Reasonably priced and fashionable.

Hollister - when the sales are on ;-)

Trespass are useful for tall skinny boys (as long as they like the style) as their trousers come in a wider range of sizes - which is great when you are trying to buy a 24" waist and 34" inside leg!

River Island are too expensive compared to H & M and Primark Once you start shopping there he,ll want to all the time. Stuff is nice but deffo overpriced.Primark do an extra small man which should fit 13/14 years old.

My lads grew like weeds, so we are well known to the local charity shops. Not least as we bring a tape measure, buy armfuls & donate garments all three decline to wear even for gardening.

While they were a bit delicate about admitting to where clothes had come from, I said the office runs a swapshop. Partly true - we donate office garb to charity & the canny secret santa gifts office jewellery so if the recipient doesn't like it, the charity benefits.

My mother in law is a ruthless raider of sale rails & has routinely sent tops & trousers from end of season lines from all sorts of places! (I've still not forgotten the coach trip to Chester - she called me, asking the lads shoe sizes, & returned with 4 pairs of Hush Puppy shoes for the very well dressed toddler, discounted to a fiver a pair as they were last seasons colours.... With all the insoles to ensure the proper fit! We were all so delighted!)

Asos seem to do all shapes sizes and brands.

Thanks all. Sounds like I need to get the tape measure out, and work out what he'd be in smaller men's sizes. Great tips, will deffo check out some of these suggestions.

Hi
I struggle to buy clothes for my son.

He is very slim so I struggle to buy clothes for him off the high street because they all started at a 30 inch waist. He needs a 26inch or 28inch with a belt.

In the end I bought off the internet from MandM

Cheers
