Totally dumb, but if this is the extent of my kid’s rebellious streak, I’m fine with it. |
Where are you posting from, 1953? That is pretty much all middle school boys wear, or athletic shorts. Or PJ pants with crocs. And hoodies. That is all they wear. Next you will be expressing shock that they aren't all getting regular crew Cuts? |
My kids say the school building is hot, and shorts are comfortable for PE |
My 12 yo cares very much about brands. Air force ones, Nike sweatshirts and shorts, etc. |
Look up Adidas Joggers. They were popular. Everyone sells joggers. I have some Vince joggers and some from rag & bone. They have peaked and aren’t as popular anymore but I don’t know what you’re thinking of . |
Love joggers |
Am seeing the same transition in DS. What gives? |
My 7th grader kid is all plain. No logos. Refuses to wear his athletic dry fit t’s even though they still fit because they have the Nike logo…drives me nuts. He’s embracing his looks though and becoming aware of himself, so it’s pretty cute when I’m not annoyed about perfectly good clothes just sitting there ![]() |
You permit the pajama pants? 🙄 |
My son would rather wear a tuxedo than jeans. |
+1 from a middle age mom. I love my joggers. |
My 8th grader is essentially the same, with athletic brands, solid colors, crocs or sneakers.
Except he does express a lot of interest in jewelry. So its necklace, earrings, bracelets, etc. as a form of self-expression But I think he's in the minority |
When you get a little further out of the burbs, the "country boys" will wear jeans. |
Does he make jewelry? It’s a fun activity. Get rid of the crocs and he’ll be all set. |
He does not, but thats a great idea. I'll see if he's interested |
