[quote=Anonymous]My 12 yo DS also mainly wears athletic wear for school. He likes to wear shorts when he can get away with it. He also has some jogger khaki pants, skinny cut, that he likes. While I would rather he wore non-athletic pants more often, this is not a worthwhile battle to me. I think of tween/teen clothing choices as an expression of identity and an opportunity for low-stakes decision-making, and so long as the look is not offensive or against my values (low pants with the butt hanging out, rude language on tee shirts), I'll allow it. My DS looks like a sporty bro, which is not how I would choose to dress him, but it is how he dresses himself, so be it. If there is a family function that requires nice attire, then I enforce that, khakis and a button down shirt, something like that. Shirt and tie for dressier events. [/quote]
