Why is it so hard to buy boys clothes???

They all seem to have more girls stuff. Have you tried pumpkin patch, baby city (postie), cotton on and farmers?

I found size 2 shorts hard to find at one point over summer (boys) too.

I was just commenting on this yesterday, its ridiculous!

The only place I have found with a very similar amount of boys clothing is PP. But damn they are expensive unless you get them on sale.

There's a shop in Takapuna Westfield - sorry I don't know its name - which is on the ground floor to the right of Farmers (as you go in) and it only does boys clothes.

Not having boys myself I don't know what sizes they do but it looked like it was from toddler to pre-teen from what I saw going past.

ETA: Here's the website but it looks like they start at 4 years sorry.

OH yes I feel your pain!!! I struggle to find boys stuff too. Most shops have 4 isles for girls and 1 for boys, so annoying!

Anyways while we were in NZ I found JK had a nice range for boys, in fact of all the shops we went into I found JK the best.

I find myself buying a lot of white and natural colours.

Have you tried looking on Trade Me Manda? I have found some good things on there for Cody.

to be honest, i think parents of little girls spend more. I'm hardly likely to spend much in my kids clothing, given how rough they are. but my friends who have wee girls practically live at pumpkin patch buying stuff. i don't think my sons own any pp clothing anymore.

I feel ya on this one!

I think PP is the worst for it actually.

DP thinks the best option is to save up a few hundred bucks and jump the ditch to Aussie for a weekend. Way more choice and way cheaper he says.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah i would love to go shopping in aussie, my cousin little boy always has such cool little clothes, even the markets have some cool stuff.

K-Mart is probably my fav, and a good farmers isnt to bad either. And Lizzle you are so right i think, i always think gosh if i had a girl i would so buy this and that... would cost a fortune!

That Eureka shop looks cool, will look in to that when the time comes.

I really like PP stuff but i will only by the sale stuff... its to expensive for me! I always end up thinking gosh i could buy myself a top for that price and its way bigger!

But im glad im not the only one who thinks this!

I find it really frustrating buying clothes for Caleb. It is like 90% of the store has girls clothes and there is a couple of racks of boys stuff so trying to find the right size of things that actually look good is just about impossible. I have asked at JK kids and Cotton On and they say they sell out of boys stuff really quickly, there is a lot of demand and not much stock to start with.

We went to the US for three weeks last year and although the shops were about four times the size of the shops here, again it was at least 3/4 girls stuff and not much boys stuff. I could at least get a good selection of stuff in his size over there.

DF and I were discussing this the other day. I swear I could make a fortune if I opened up a clothing store just for boys.

There is never any decent selection of boys clothes at any store. We went into Cotton On last weekend and it was probably the worst so far, one tiny corner for baby boys, whereas there were racks and racks for girls
