“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel

It’s a Question of Age

When it comes to children’s clothing, budget is everything. The cost of living is very high in the UK and there is only so much the average person can realistically afford to spend on clothes for their kids. It is a matter of prioritisation and providing nutritious food and paying the bills comes ahead of designer clothes.

It depends heavily on their age as to what clothing they’ll get. There is little point in spending £75 on a pair of designer jeans for a 6 year old boy who plays in the mud and regularly gets holes in the knees! A pair of Tesco jeans for £16 would more than suffice and the child would be unlikely to care less.

A parent would probably be more understanding if their teenager wanted something nice as image is very important when you are at school, especially now-a-days. It is still likely that they would be bought Tesco clothing but a few special designer items would also be more likely to find their way into the older teenager’s wardrobe.
