[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to be snarky but genuinely curious, when did your kids get do into brand names and how did they learn all the brands they're desiring ?My eighth grader and sixth grader are pretty brand ignorant.[/quote]

Mine are the same way - they don't know brands, but do know the styles they want (like my 6th grader wanted cropped shirts all summer, wanted flared pants this fall, etc.). She knows her 16 year old cousin is obsessed with Lululemon, but hasn't expressed any preference for brands yet. I'm hoping it stays that way for a while.

I think this is also a socioeconomic thing. We're pretty middle of the road as are the people at my kids' schools. There are a lot of wealthy people on this website, so take some of this with a grain of salt.[/quote]

These are all mall brands, middle of the road prices so don’t worry.  Easy to buy when the stores have sales online and at their stores.  Even cheaper on eBay or poshmark

It’s not uncommon for 6th graders to like a style but not yet know the brands.  Did she want flared Jeans or leggings?  What did you end up getting?   [/quote]

I don't think Lulu prices are middle of the road prices - I don't pay $100 for leggings for myself, I certainly won't buy them for my tween. If she wants Lulu, she's pitching in to pay the difference between those and what I'd be picking up from H&M.[/quote]

Lululemon leggings are $50 on sale to $100.   You can easily get them for $30 - $40 new on Poshmark or eBay if you do the work and look every day.

Alo leggings are slightly higher in price but can get them for $50 on sale and they have more colors that teens might like. They are sold on Poshmark but the market isn’t flooded with them like Lulu so it’s tougher to find them.

Athleta is the same price line as Lululemon not all that different.

Gapfit has leggings the exact same as Athleta but are half the price.

The best bets are teen stores like Offline.  They have a nice variety and are super flattering, good quality and on sale all the time.

I find H & M leggings to be too skimpy. Too thin, that’s why they’re so cheap.   Same with Forever 21.

I got a pair of parachute pants for $19 at Pacsun this weekend.  They are just like the Free People ones I got for $89.

I like  adidas and  Nike for athletic wear and they have great Sales.  Free shipping if you sign up. [/quote]
