[quote=Anonymous]There is a middle ground. We do it by getting "fancier" clothes and shoes for special occasions as gifts. My ds has worn is special ALO hoodie so many times it's been well worth the price. Kids starting in tween years often have a strong desire to conform as they grow through various physical and emotional awkward phases, and social media has made that truer than back in the day. I don't think the solution is to dismiss it as shallow and make the child go only for fashion choices that will make them feel like an outsider. I'm thankful I grew up pre-social media in the Nirvana thrift old jeans, plaid shirts and your-dad's-old-wood-sweaters era bc as a kid whose parents did not spend much, it worked out![/quote]
