What age should parents stop buying their kids clothes

My mother had horrible taste. I was 13 when I put my foot down and started to pick out my own clothes. She just went to the store with me and paid for everything. Prior to that, she would go to JC Penny and find a dress on the clearance rack and buy me three of the exact same dress in different colors.

I started buying my clothes when I was 12 I think

I guess it depends on how picky they are.

Girls want to wear thong panties in highschool because all their friends are, so probably 14? Boys wear anything, so mom can keep buying theirs until they move out at 18 I think.

15?

My own 3 children were all different so there are probably no hard and fast ages. My middle child would never have bought clothes at all if it had been left to him.

I always say instinct is best guide for parents, it varies so much. That is my best answer.

I'd say about 14 years old. 🤔

35

I wore school uniforms, which made a lot of that moot. But otherwise I didn’t really have much of a say until I was using money from part time jobs to buy weekend clothes.
