What age should parents stop buying their kids clothes

and just give them a clothing allowance so they can buy their own. Is it different for boys and girls?

I guess it depends on how picky they are.

@cherokeepatti my kids were picky from about the age of 5. My own parents started giving me a clothing allowance when I was 12 but most of my friends just relied on their parents tastes.
