What do you think of children wearing brands like Juicy Couture and TRAPSTAR?

1. As a man in his early 30s, I generally don’t concern myself with what teenagers wear.

2. [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3TjreaWb6I) sums up my views

3. I think having strong feelings about what random young girls are wearing is a bit weird.

4. Words on clothes. Could not give a shit.

5. I can understand why you think the word juicy on a girls butt is inappropriate. When my cousin asked for a JC tracksuit for her 16th I bought her one that didn’t have it on the butt in case her parents etc didn’t like it. But when I go out in town and see teenage girls wearing them, I don’t think much of it. Same as when a teenage girl is wearing shorts and a crop top, she’s just a young girl wearing clothes she likes and you only start sexualising it if you’re being weird cause they are all clearly little girls in my eyes

6. I must be very old because I’ve not heard of these brands

7. I can’t think of many things I care about less

8. By those standards to wear Ralph Lauren you need to play polo or to wear Lacoste you have to be a crocodile?

9. Sounds like you shouldn’t be looking at the ass of kids mate.

10. Are they not teenager brands? I don’t see many adult women with logos on their arses.

11. I don’t much like any brands to be honest. They have an unfortunate tendency to be overpriced and be a dodgy status symbol to support ingroup-outgroup mechanics and exclusion.

    But your kids should be able to make their own choices about clothing as teens, albeit with input from you. Maybe explain what your concerns are?

12. I don’t really care, and it’s not a new thing either

13. Its just trends. Juicy coming back because Y2K is in, TRAPSTAR will probably be out of fashion in a couple of years. By the time your kids grow up this stuff will be things they would laugh at and say how old fashioned they are.

    Don’t know how you associate trapstar with gangs and shootings though, I have only heard of the brand through celebs.

    It’s weird you saying that would never happen to your son and daughter. What about when they’re 16 and they decide to buy some clothing you’re not happy about? Would you not allow them to wear it? That’s pretty controlling tbh, at that age they can wear what they want as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure if your daughter gets into sex work and your son into gangs, it won’t be because of a clothing brand.

14. It’s fucked mate, but our world is a live and let live one so just suck it up and move on. As long as you teach your kids proper values and don’t let then were shite like that, they’ll grow up sound

15. I’m a mum of 3, 30 this year and I am shocked at what the younger girls are wearing these days. It seems like their parents don’t care and let them wear whatever. Girls my kids ages (under 8) are given crop tops and what I’d think of inappropriate clothing for children.
    I think parents don’t care and love the Instagram look too much.

16. Considering juicy was a huge thing 20 years ago, petered out 10, and has now come back with a vengeance it’s nothing new.

    I don’t profess to ‘get’ Gen Z but I don’t really care what they do as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone

17. It’s something that’s very much in the eye of the beholder.

    I wish we were past the days when girls have to worry about what they wore attracting the wrong kind of attention but we’re really not.

    I was getting off a train at night a few months back. Ahead of me were a group of girls, I’d say no more than 14 years old. In between us stepped a couple of drunk pensioners (I’m almost 50 and they were older than me), who spent the whole walk off the platform graphically musing about these children’s backsides.

    It’s not the kids wearing this shit who have the problem. Wear what you want. It’s the pervs in society that make life dangerous for them.

18. I recall the ‘Playboy’ clothing trend several years back, wonder if the peopel wearing it had any idea of the history..

19. The only thought I have is that it’s hilarious watching public schoolboys where I live try and act like they have it hard, wearing certain brands and talking in a certain way.

20. Personally, I wouldn’t know what words are written on teenage girls bums.

21. Mrs tmstms wears Juicy Couture, because it is dead comfy, though she and I would agree with you that ‘Juicy’ in big words is a no-no. So she just chooses pieces that do not have that word.

    Obviously this is an issue where I don’t know how young people think, but absolutely for sure when it comes to Mrs tmstms or me, we wear what we like and don’t really think about what if any significance the brand has. We get it all from outlet shops anyway, so the top consideration is value for money.

    E.g. I’ve got quite a few The North Face garments because they were good value (e.g. a fleece top for £15) and will outlast the cheapo version.

22. Encouraging my kids to look into brand names before being blinded by there advertising campaigns, especially my teenage step daughter. She is also very aware of brands like ballenciaga or however it is spelt.

    As I’ve got older ( had kids ) my propensity for designer clothes has vanished and would quite happily never support or purchase any corporate branded clothes again.

23. The fact that these clothes are designed to get people to look at people in a way that sexualises them and are made in kid’s sizes is concerning.

24. I despise Hoodrich. Kids looking like they’re in bullet / stabproof jackets is extremely cringe.

25. TRAPSTAR was originally a small street wear brand, a kid I went to school was sponsored by them as a skateboarder, I think they got popular due to Rhianna like 10 years ago. Had no idea it is a gang affiliated aesthetic nowadays 🙄

26. I do find it funny the number of posh little kids I’ve seen roaming around local villages with balaclavas, man purses and Trapstar/Hoodrich jackets or those stupid looking bullet proof vests.

    Obviously they can wear what they like but it does make you laugh seeing little Henry or Theo who’ve never left the village talk and act like they came straight out of Croydon 😂… Speaking as someone that came from South London it’s hilarious the number of posh little kids desperate for that “lifestyle”.

27. I’m 29 and when I was a teenager other teenagers wore that sort of thing, you seem really sheltered

28. Simple solution, don’t buy those clothes for your children.

29. 2003 called and wants this comment back

30. You’re 34, weren’t you around when juicy couture was first popular in the 00s?

31. I’m 37 and wear a Hoodrich jacket… It’s just a brand.

32. You’d hate me. I wear running shoes yet I’m a fat bastard
