Do you think you should follow fashion and buy your kids fashionable clothes or is it better to be an individual and do what you like and what your kids like rather than what the latest trends are demanding?

I like to be individual. I don't like trends. We all are different. Why not look different?
I think that kids are better when focused on fun and learning than fashion.

I agree with you. Fortunately my kids are too young to know what is fashionable at the moment, but I know they won't be getting the lastest fashions all the time, I won't have the money.

I don't think I could ever be called a follower of fashion really. I tend to stick with my goth clothes because I like them and they suit me, my son has always gone his own way too, and although for a while he went down the designer label fashion route, now he looks for good quality clothes rather than the fashionable stuff

I think it is better to buy quality clothes in a classic style so that they never go out of fashion and they will last a long time. for children, as their clothes don't last long it is better to go for cheap clothes.

I think a mix and match is much better for kids than going after fashion.I follow fashion ,but hardly ever emulate them.Fashion to me is what I can carry well and feel comfortable wearing.Yes,it should be trendy.I think it's much easier for kids to create fashion.Who knows, they could make the next style statement;-)

There's nothing wrong about following new trends...
But i just realized these fact somehow,
Coz when i was in the mall, i was wearing a new trend that i buyed from a well known Garment Company and it was just like..
WOOOOWWWW!!!
I've saw a lot of people in the mall, wearing the same style of my shirt that time..
DAhhhh!!! its really humilating...
So we should get on our own way of style..
We dont have to follow the latest trends everytime...

Fashion for our children and actually the adults too is to look for bargains and buy what is on sale or something that appeals to the eye .....Fashions for kids today ....if you can call that ...is weird indeed .....baggy pants 5 sizes too big and t shirts with running shoes is hardly fashion but thats what i see when the high school kids walk by our home every day Happy Trails and Have a Great day

I have never been one to buy clothing simply because of fashion trends- at least not in my adult life. I think that it's better to let the kids choose what they like and what they want, within reason, of course. I'm sure that for a good many years they will follow what is "in" with their peers, but they will hopefully develop their own individual styles as they mature. Kids also have to understand that clothes cost money, and that they won't always be able to have what is fashionable due to lack of money. That's an important lesson that I had to learn; I had to save my allowance for certain things if I wanted them, because my parents did not have the money to indulge every whim.

I but the clothes I like when I find it in the stores. I really don't care if someone feels that it's not the hottest thing right now. If I feel comfortable in it, then that's good enough for me :-)

I think it is best to wear a classic style or dress individually. I am vegan so will not wear leather or wool. I think my favourite colour is black for a skirt or trousers. I wear different coloured tops. The latests trends can go out of fashion quickly. Parents should buy their kids comfortable clothes not high fashion.
