I am actually a NP |
| I always get a chuckle out of the lululemon is for moms poster. Yeah, I do love the airline legging. It is fantastic! However, there is no way a mom is wearing the hotty hot 2.5 shorts or the v neck align top to the grocery store. Those are staples in teen wardrobes. |

It isn’t trying to be a “burn.” I guess you are a parent that is allowing their kid to leave the house in their pajamas. It is disrespectful to show up to school in pajamas. Who are you people, seriously? I am thankful my kids know how to dress appropriately for different situations. And allowing kids to wear pajamas to school is doing them a huge disservice. Parent your kids, people. |

Be sure to check out the “We made too much” section of lululemon. Great deals compared to the standard cost. If you register online and set up a free membership, you can return the “We made too much” sale items for instore credit. Otherwise, they are final sale.
https://shop.lululemon.com/c/sale/_/N-1z0xcuuZ8t6 You will never find black or navy items, but you will find tons of other fun colors. They update this section with new items every Thursday. Might be worth having your daughter go to a store to try on things to get an idea of her sizes. My daughter wears a 2 in the ebb to street tank, but a 6 in the swiftly tech T-shirt. Have her see what fits the best, buy a few basic solid color items at full price, and then order fun colors on their “We made too much” site. Hope this helps and I hope she has a great time in middle school! Also, if you or your spouse are in the military, be sure to log your id with lululemon online. They offer a 15% military discount. They apply this to same items too. |

OP, If your girl likes simple dresses, would she do an oversized t-shirt instead with leggings/sweatpants or shorts? There are some here that could work.
https://www2.hm.com/en_us/divided/seasonal-trending/back-to-campus.html Some girls wear jean skirts, but I doubt your DD will go for that. Would she do jeans? Also, I wouldn't go buy lulu shorts or any expensive brands, since your daughter isnt' going to care. No one will make fun of her for not wearing high end labels, so long as her actual garments are vaguely in line. |
Yeah, I’m the OP of that comment and can confirm that the second poster just copied and pasted my original response! I did not double post it. |

My middle school kids made fun of those who cared a lot about fashion.
For my artsy, non-athletic kids, they liked concert t-shirts from obscure or indie bands, cargo shorts or pants, basic zip-up hoodies, Doc Martens. Very unisex clothing- even for straight kids. Dresses would be a no. For my athletic kids, shorts and sweats from popular athletic brands like Nike or Champion. Lululemon and Athleta are frowned upon as “too bougie” or “tryhard”. |
I should add that my kids never teased others about their clothing but definitely laughed at home about those kids who were very fashion or label conscious. |
The above it accurate and unfortunately, my middle schooler has more expensive fashion than my high schooler. I'd say at my daughter's school this past year it was the UGG shorties and the slipper-looking Uggs. Instead of Nike Air Force, there were more Nike Blazers and Nike Air Max this year. Hoodies and big t-shirts were also in. |
Most parents? Read the rest of the thread. Personally, I’m happy when mine wants to go out in pj pants and a sweatshirt instead of the tiny shorts and a crop top. I supposed you don’t allow those either. |
Lol at wearing pajama pants being disrespectful to the school. Pretty sure the school is fine with a well behaved kid wearing PJ pants over the Regina George wannabe wearing designer labels and terrorizing other kids. |
Agree. DD is a jock, doesn't care about clothes. Wears sports stuff all the time because its easier. But the overall point here is that artsy, jocky, trendy, nerdy kids are all ok. At least in my two kids MS experience, no one made fun of anyone for their fashion choices. I wouldn't send your daughter in a smocked dress and bow, but really its all ok. Send her in a shirt dress and leggings if it makes her comfortable. It will be fine. |
Meanwhile, half the moms complaining about them being disrespectful wore flannel pj pants to school themselves. |
