Go away. |
Most tweens and teens are eschewing branded clothing these days, OP. I find it odd that your kid covets it.
I have a fundamental problem with putting the words "PINK" in clothing that covers the nether regions. That's just vile. |
I'm rethinking it now reading all the responses. Wouldn't have guessed in a million yrs that this was a VS brand! The sweatshirts are cute but I hate the Pink logo |
Check out the relationships forum. There's a thread that went to 7 pages (I think) recently about someone's friend dressing slutty, and a disturbing number of people posted in defense of judging and calling women sluts for how they dress. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at moms who want to slut shame children for wearing sweats, but it's mind boggling to me. |
It is mind boggling when you know that majority of posters here are women and moms as well. This is the same culture that blames women for drinking and getting raped. I am sick of it. |
I will never forget hearing a group of frat boys discussing the meaning of "Think Pink" emblazoned across the butt of some of the sweatpants in the Pink line in the early 2000s. I really don't think the frat boys were misinterpreting what "Think Pink" across the butt is meant to imply, and the fact that many young girls don't get this makes the marketing strategy somewhat smarmy/exploitive, I think.
I have posted in protest of the usage of "tacky" on DCUM, but in this case, I have to say that Pink clothes are...tacky. |
PINK clothing is fine! The clothes are super comfy and cute, but they are overpriced. |
I agree! Tacky. And yeah, they're not for me...but still, it's a roundabout way for a girl to tell the world "I shop at Victoria's secret!" ("Wink wink!!! Are you thinking about my undies now?") no thanks. Not a message kids should send. I don't see how it's any comfier than other sweatpants and "PINK" written on everything is dumb. |
Oh the irony of a man indicating that he zeroes in on the sluts based on the PINK clothing...
The stuff is overpriced but super comfy, and popular in the VA burbs. |
nike, adidas, lulu, ua, puma all make super comfy sweats and technical gear that exude a much better message for young women than VS/Pink. |
+1 - I can't imagine having my 11 year old walking around with the word "Pink" on her behind. |

I am sorry OP but do you live under a rock? How did you not know this was a VS brand- it has been around for years |
Just buy here soffee stuff instead. |
