[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys are 8 and 10 and 8yo wears everything older DS wore. Of course we toss work out and faded clothing.

Your situation is different because you have a boy and a girl.

I also have a daughter and she wore a few sleep sacks and onesies when she was an infant but that’s about it. She doesn’t wear her brother’s hand me downs.

I have seen some girls in elementary in obvious boy hand me downs and it looks a bit odd. The cuts and styles are different. My daughter wears leggings mostly. [/quote]

Even though my daughters don't wear a ton of leggings, I agree with this. The girls in elementary with big brother's hand-me-downs look out of place. Shirts sort of work because a lot of elementary girls wear pretty loose shirts, but pants/shorts definitely stick out. Even longer girls' shorts have a different cut than boys' shorts.[/quote]

I actually don't care for the way little girls' shorts are cut. Those bubble shorts did not fit DD appropriately, we stuck with DS' hand me downs. I may switch to one of the gender neutral brands to fit her frame.

PP here, and I get that. My girls wear a lot of bermuda shorts and I think the gender neutral brands do a nice job of fitting both.[/quote]
