It's impossible to deny the fact that teenagers are different from their parents. After all, adolescence is a time of rapid change in a person's mentality, lifestyle, and appearance. It goes without saying that tastes and requirements vary during this transitional period. It's difficult to pinpoint a specific age at which it occurs; every child changes radically at different times. It's usually at the time when you need to update (and reconsider) your child's wardrobe that fashion and clothing style become evident.
Change size and move to the teen section
Clothing sizes change at every age, especially when you reach eleven or twelve years old. Additionally, stores frequently change departments . This size is easily accessible in the children's and young adult sections of the store, which is ideal for a smooth transition and gradually adjusting your wardrobe.
What should you put in a teenager's or pre-teen's wardrobe ? And what are the effects?
The teenager and his wardrobe
The biggest difference is the impact on their choices and our position as parents. Our perspective is no longer the only one that counts, and it quickly becomes ineffective, when it comes to decisions made by young teenagers. They now need to be involved in decisions and transactions, otherwise the clothes intended for them, with all the good intentions, end up gathering dust at the bottom of a closet!
At his age, he will be more receptive to brands , his peers and what we now call influencers (for example... a sports or music celebrity).
A new attractive dressing room for teenage boys
By the time a child reaches the age of ten , they have already developed their own unique style . As they grow up, their wardrobe will be different from the one they wore in their youth. For boys, we would describe it as more comfortable, more athletic, and less colorful than the one they wore in their ten years before. The sweatshirt that replaces the sweater in middle school is a great example. But there is, of course, room for the basics: first and foremost, certainly jeans (which are timeless and indestructible), and generally accepted by children and parents alike.
Here is a summary of the typical clothes of a young teenage boy (of course, it is not exhaustive):
The pants
Your boy won't have to crawl in the mud and play on all fours in the playground during his middle school years! Jeans are therefore less essential in the teenage wardrobe. For sports, we suggest two pairs of jeans and two pairs of jogging pants , as well as one or two colored pants (red, yellow, or green), which are more dressy and really cute. Also consider two pairs of shorts and one pair of athletic shorts for the summer.
T-shirts and polo shirts
If you have a young child, we highly recommend purchasing these items. They often allow young people to express their fashion preferences through color, brand, or highlighted patterns. For now, essentials remain few and far between. A teenager might have four or five polo shirts , long or short sleeve, as well as T-shirts. In winter, they might have one or two warm turtlenecks on hand.
The sweaters
It's hard to find a cute sweater for your child. They're not as popular in stores as sweaters, and that's true for all brands! So, you can get two lightweight sweaters and one warm one, as well as two sweatshirts they'll love (and it's true that you can find some pretty cool ones right now!).
A jacket
He will probably like to wear a denim jacket , which is easy to wear. A pair of gloves (or rather two because they tend to get lost easily), as well as possibly a scarf if he always wants to wear it
Sneakers
More than ever, sneakers are king at this age for footwear! So, you can simply choose two pairs of sneakers: a pair of real running shoes for sports and a more "stylish" pair to use every day for going to college.
If they want to treat themselves to a certain item of clothing, they can always let us know before Christmas or a birthday... It even becomes an excellent gift idea at their age!
