These are not cool clothes. These are comfortable clothes which is important to most kids. A small group of girls might sacrifice for fashion but it’s mostly comfort - number one priority.

Omg. Enough already. It's like one poster who just can't let up on the fact Lululemon isn't cool in her eyes or isn't high fashion. We all know this!!!! But yet, in this area, most teen girls love Lululemon and therefore, it's considered a "cool" brand. It's literally that simple.

Then stop misusing the word cool. Walk down a middle school hall. It’s baggy clothes, sweats, uggs, legging. None of which are cool. More important is what is flattering on your child and is she comfortable.

The kids don’t give a F about “flattering,”they all wear weird ill-fitting stuff that is also comfortable. “Flattering” is for their middle aged moms.

This plus Hollister and Gap/Old Navy. Some Lululemon and Athleta sprinkled in due to high cost.

Yes crocs are popular, but for sneakers it’s usually Nike Blazers or AirMax270. Also the plastic Birkenstocks with socks, don’t ask me why.

Birkenstocks are still the go to sandals for the Lesbian crowd. Some of the old hippies and deadheads too. Crocs are good for working people because all you have to do is wipe them down. sneakers that are comfortable should be ideal for middle school.

Many kids at our affluent MS wear birks! Metallic, tan, and even those new rubber/plastic ones.

They are comfortable! There’s a reason they’ve been around forever. Well made, sensible and well priced.
I’m not sure what being at an affluent middle school has to do with anything.

Because PP tried to claim that all these brands are for hippies and "working people." Like she's Violet Crawley and we need to explain what a "week end" is.

Hospital workers, nurses, doctors, hairdressers, chefs use crocs for comfort and easy clean up, sounds like a smart choice.

Every hospital that I have worked at bans Crocs. They're a trip hazard. They provide poor support for people who need to be on their feet for a long time. They're bad shoes.

She likes lululemon, fat pants, aviators nation, etc. For cotillion she likes Loveshack Fancy - she only has a few pieces of this because it's expensive. I get her other clothes at Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom. Some girls have Golden Goose shoes (also too expensive); my daughter has Air Jordan's, Converse, and Havanas.

As PP said it depends on the school. These brands are one end of a spectrum.

You could take a bit of your own advice. What’s cool for a 15 year old will (and should) be substantially different from what’s cool to a 35 year old. In the teen forum, no one cares what a middle aged woman thinks about how teens should dress.

This is a mother’s forum, hopefully there aren’t a bunch of middle schoolers posting.

Are you saying that teenagers all fit in one group? They all wear the same thing? That might be true of a slight majority of teens in a regular middle class high school but there are always a group of well dressed teens who don’t care what the other 15 year olds are wearing. They will wear what looks good on them.
