If you have boys... Shopping question

The Gap post got me thinking. I feel like there are stores that have adorable girl clothes. Lots of styles, etc. The boys style stinks and there's no choices.
I am actually finding Target has better boy clothes then most places. I never find anything at Denny's for my 2 and 4 yr old. Gap is hit or miss, but I always love the girls stuff. Sometimes I like Children's Place, but they have too much print stuff that I don't love.
Janie and Jack is cute, but I usually go there for holidays or something. Not everyday stuff. I like jeans, the plaid shorts with a solid top, the "Charlie Harper" shirts , sweat outfits from Adidas or other brands like that.
Once in a while Old Navy I will find something, but they seem to run small and grow out of it fast. Kohls is also hit or miss.

H&M has a lot of cute boy clothing. Sometimes Century 21.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

GAP and Carters are my staples for jeans, wind pants, PJs
I get their shorts from the Children's place ever year b/c the fit/length has been better for my boys .

Carters is great for polos - normal solid colors and stripes that wash REALLY well
Old Navy's polos are also great.

The GAP & Carters again for sweatshirts
Sweaters are difficult - the GAP are just too heavy, so I usually stumble around until I find something from Polo in Marshalls or on sale @ Macys

TShirts I usually do from Old Navy, GAP, Target - the boys like the superhero stuff, and I like the vintage T look w/o spending $40 on a Tshirt - so we compromise.

I also ALWAYS forget about Century 21 - ADORABLE, and different stuff. For dressing up or a special occasion

their every day, daycare, run around lkie boys clothes GAP and Carters and my staple places

I am not a fan of babyish clothing, crazy colors and prints - I dress them like little men. And I'm pretty conservative

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

Thanks all! There's no Century 21 by me in NJ.
My boys are dressed like little men too. Although they like the superhero characters, which I also get at Target. I also got some cute ones at Gap on sale and funny thing is they didn't wear well from Gap.
I do department stores too like Nordstroms. Was able to take advantage of their sale for Fall stuff so happy about that. My 2 yr old is set since his older brother keeps his stuff in perfect condition. Not so much from my 2 yr old.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I usually get most of my DS's clothes at Target, Kohls, and The Children's Place.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I don't like shopping, especially at multiple stores, so I stick mostly to Carters and Osh Kosh for my son. He only wants to wear "comfy clothes", which means sweat pants and soft t-shirts. It's hard to get him to wear a polo or even cargo pants. Forget about jeans. That would involve major bribery!

I hate when clothes look faded, wrinkled, and too small, so I buy a lot from these stores and mix and match a lot. I also like to stick to the same brands/stores, because then I will know his size and not have to guess when I'm shopping.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I like Naartjie Kids, Nordstrom Rack and OshKosh. I went to a Hartstrings outlet recently and got some cute boys clothes under their Kitestrings line. Kohls and Children's Place are my other go to's...but it's hit or miss for me.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I usually go to
Old Navy
Gap
H&M
Carter's for basics and PJ's
Target sometimes has some nice stuff
J Crewcuts too

For name brand stuff like Ralph Lauren I hit up Marshall's or TJ Maxx.

Century 21, Burlington, The Children's Place, Kohl's (mostly for PJs, sweatpants, t-shirts)

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

Kohls and Carters.. Occasionally Target

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

His clothes are mostly from Carter's and Century 21.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

My go to store was 77Kids by American Eagle. Now that that's gone, I'm at a loss! I hate everything!! I'm back to Gap, but it's not the style I love for my son!

And there's not a Century 21 or H&M here, which sucks!

If you have boys... Shopping question

Gap
Old Navy
Target
TjMaxx
Land's End (my favorite BEST quality)

Stopped buying so much from Children's Place - clothes are not lasting as long. The jeans suck.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I have a 4.5 year old and a 16mos year old. YES I feel a LOT of stores lack cute boys clothes.

For my 4.5 year old I go to Kohls, JCPennys & Old Navy

For my little guy, I'm still a die hard Carters fan.


I'll be said when my little guy outgrows Carters.

I also do really well at Costco on Carters too.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

Oh please. This is the bane of my existence.

My go to is Gap (I used to love 77kids too) but honestly, I think the quality stinks. I buy a lot of Ralph Lauren and feel the same about that too. I feel like the clothes fade and do not wash well (particularly the Gap PJs). I wash all of his clothes on gentle cycle and still use Dreft so I know it's not that.

I don't like the style at Carter's but I like their PJs. I find some cute things at Children's Place.

I find H&M clothes fit weird. Naajarte and Gymboree are not my style.

I like Nautica and Kenneth Cole. They wear and wash well. I also like some of the brands at BRU. I go to Janie & Jack for dress outfits. I have not tried Century 21 so I will have to go check that out.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

We go to h&m, j crew cuts, century 21, crazy 8, Gymboree, and Carter's. the kids wear jeans, colored slacks, and plaid shorts for the most part, never sweat pants. I really don't find much in gap or children's place. We have a lot of nautica and Tommy Hilfiger from C 21, it holds up well.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

Mainly Ralph Lauren

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

My parents are in Delaware in the summers, so I do a big outlet trip there, no tax!!! I like Hartstrings, Janie and Jack, Gap, Oshkosh, and Gymboree usually. Lately he's wanting a lot of character shirts, ugh, so I've been getting those at Target or used.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

love carters and gymboree

Re: If you have boys... Shopping quest

I have 2 boys, no girls. I try to find nice clothes for them but its a challenge. I mostly shop at...

Abercrombie
PS from Aeropostale
Crew Cuts
Macy's
And believe it or not,
Zappos for Nike, Under Armor, DC and North Face

If you have boys... Shopping question

I stick to Carter's and Gymboree. Old Navy is hit or miss.

Re: If you have boys... Shopping question

I have a 2 year old. I also used to get so annoyed when I was shopping for him when he was a baby. The girl's sections are amazing and the boys are just meh! Well, now that I have a very active and messy toddler....I honestly don't care as much. Right now for the summer he practically lives in either mesh, cotton or some sort of printed short with a t-shirt. I have a bunch of those Nike and Adidas matching sets. He always looks well put together, but he is not wearing any of those cute outfits I used to dress him in all the time as a baby. Now it's all about being practical and what will wash easiest and not require ironing! LOL

If you have boys... Shopping question

Most of his clothes are Gap, Old Navy, Children's Place, & Kohl's. I also buy a handful of higher end clothes her season...love Mini Boden, Ralph Lauren, & Nordstrom's.
