Tween fashion - hoodies, hoodies, all the time

Anonymous
I love hoodies and leggings and all that athletic stuff. So far, my DD is not into bra tops, midriffs, and other more revealing things. It's just not something she likes yet. All this athletic ware allows her to fit in with her peers.

My son wears the same one or two hoodies for school every day. So long as it's clean, why would that be a problem?


I refuse to do laundry every 2 days just for this, so they’re not clean. She doesn’t care and wants to just wear them smelly/dirty.

Get a duplicate of each. Then she has four tops. But her a bottle of Febreeze.

She’s certainly old enough to do her own laundry.

It isn’t environmental friendly or economical for each family member to do “their own” laundry. I get the sentiment, but do people really do this?

Athleta leggings and a hoodie are my 5th grade DDs staples. She doesn’t love the Athleta hoodies though, she likes her sweatshirts to be oversized.

Absolfudginglitely

My washer determines how much is in there and I have a line on my screen porch. As soon as my kids hit 10 they have their own hamper and wash.

Let her pick. My daughter picked out a few cropped hoodies that I would never have thought she would like. They don’t show her midriff but look like a regular hoodie that is too short. She wears them with shorts or flare leggings. She prefers those over regular leggings now.

22:22 again. As for which stores, I took her to the outlet mall and then to the regular mall. She browsed and picked. H&M, Athleta, Gap are her current favorite hoodies.

Here is a link. She’s much shorter than the model so it goes to her waist. She has several in different colors like this. https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.1031490002.html

I don't think it's less environmentally friendly to own 2 outfits and do a small/low water load to wash them regularly vs owning 7 outfits and doing a full load each week. Producing and supplying clothes involves significant use of resources. My kid is similar and it's fine, I'd rather be dealing with this than my teen self insisting on wearing my neon green plether miniskirt everywhere.

My 12 yr old likes American Giant. Or I should say, I do and bought her their heavy weight hoodie as a stand in jacket for walking to school (since winter coats are cumbersome apparently). It is very well made, very warm and can withstand wash and wash.

They also have lighter weight ones too in several colors.

My 11 yr old son like Nike hooded sweatshirts. He only has one and wears other things too though.

No, I think it is not environmentally friendly to make individuals do several small loads of laundry per day vs one full load. If a kid only has a couple items to wash it makes more sense to throw it in with another full load than to do a totally separate one for the sake of them doing their own

It really is less environmentally friendly to wash small loads— you use more electricity to run the washer and the dryer multiple times and will use more water for multiple small loads versus one large load.

Then buy the kid duplicates. This is an issue of parent unhappiness but not an issue of negative environmental impact of a kid's choices.
