I’m glad that is working out for you. My 13 year old and her friends and very brand conscious. But my daughter did just tell me that a new trend is to buy a cheap hoody and get some fabric and cut out stars, etc and sew them on yourself. She wants to do that now. But she still loves her edikted hoodie, and the camo one from hollister. The lululemon scubas are definitely fading (and she has two - 😱).

Well cool for your kid, but didn't you want Guess Jeans or a Starter Jacket when you were a teen? This is a gift for Christmas- not something you're buying 5 of.

Don’t ask me to explain.

I wouldn’t buy the Parke one because it’s a $15 dollar hoodie with a social media influencer’s last name in large letter across the chest. It sells for $135.

The influencers buy cheap generic hoodies and sweatpants from China. Then they put a tag with their company name on it and add the name PARKE and overcharge because it’s not going to last.

I am aware. But this is true of PPP, White Fox, etc. Nothing special about any of them. Parke is just the latest in a long line.

And my vapid SIL buys my daughters all do them.

Right, but this is a fifth grader that doesn’t know or care about which brands are popular. You get the name brand asks when they ASK for the name brands. Before that it’s just try hard and a waste of money.

Most kids care about this stuff or sometimes their parents want to help them fit in and look like the other kids. OP asked for a “cool” sweatshirt and people are answering. If she just wanted to get a Gildan hoody from Walmart she probably wouldn’t have asked.

That is sad. When my 18 year old was ten she still played with dolls and legos. It’s probably the last year of it, but still…

I have to stick up for Dandy. My DD has one that she wears all the time and it still looks just as good as it did a year ago.

No, I didn't, actually. My family could not afford those things.
