Clothing - my son is obsessed with these clothes and they are all he ever wants to wear. I have been wrapping up his christmas presents and just thinking how different it is this year, how much he's changed.
My son used to be a quiet, geeky boy only interested in computers and xbox games. Now he's straightening and blow drying his purple hair, wearing very tight skinny jeans with tshirts covered in cats.
Boys seem to be so much more interested in fashion and grooming.
So to the guys on here, anyone want to admit to straightening their hair, colouring it, wearing guyliner. Do any guys here own lots of pairs of shoes, are you all particular with your clothing etc

My son has decided to start blow drying his own hair and picking his own clothes no matter what I get out for him.
He is only 3 but knows his own mind on how to look already. I dread to think what he'll be like in 10 years time  |

Err yes hate to admit it but I have indulged in all the above, I have a spare room full of cloths all anally sorted, railed and colour coded. Over 100 pairs of shoes which I clean and polish before putting them away.
Your son sounds as though he is developing individual style, is taking care of his appearance and its far better than going grungy so good for him I say.  |

Some things yes; my son still has an Xbox though he is 24 now. He doesn't dye his hair but he does have it cut regularly, he went shopping with a friend for some clothes to go out clubbing in and came back with tight skinny jeans, not something he would normally wear.
He still likes name brands where joggers and t-shirts are concerned but has branched out a bit into wearing stuff that isn't ie shop brands plus t-shirts with pictures on that I wouldn't have thought he would have liked. And he has more shoes than before though he still wears trainers most of the time. |

I don't straighten my hair, as I like it short and messy. I like to dress smart and have lots of clothes.
Shoes is where I fall down. I don't have may pairs, but I get by with what I own.
Not been told I'm a scruffbag yet, so must do something right. |

I offered 6 of the boys I get presents for a choice this year: toys, books, vouchers or clothes - the clothes option came with a shopping trip to choose them.
The eldest two (14 and 12) wanted amazon vouchers.
Three (8, 8 and 10) wanted clothes.
The last one (11) wants bling!  (I'm still looking for something in the price range).
I've just spent the last two days taking small boys clothes shopping and watching them choose - the deal was they got told how much they could spend and after that could pick whatever they wanted even if it was a green tutu or nothing but socks.
Noone picked anything wacky but they all had definite ideas about what they wanted and apparently this has been their main topic of conversation for days!
One of them had.how clothes feel as his main criteria, one top he.loved the look of but he turned it down because the shoulders were scratchy.
It just goes to show that many boys are interested in what they wear they just don't always have a chance to express it till they are older. |

Our eldest son is always groomed, always smart.
Our other son prefers to look like tramp, proper scruffy fooker 
He's still a great bloke though, and his girlfriend is a proper babe |

My son is all always looking in the mirror to make sure every hair is in place.
Like your son mine never used to mind what he looked like and was quite happy happy to wear trainers from Shoe Zone, over night that all changed and grooming became a big issue in his life..  |

"I (the male) wear drop dead when at gigs. It's a good, well made brand with a iconic band who's vocalist make the t shirts. He has good taste I say :p"
well my son is a huge Bring me the Horizon fan and he adores Oli Sykes, who I have to admit is a very pretty boy. My son goes mad if I say Oli Murs (great to wind teenagers up isn't it).
Its like a miraculous discovery when boys discover soap. A year or so ago my son never used to wash and you could hide anything under the soap and then the day came when I choked on aftershave and deodorant fumes when I went into the bathroom after him. |

Haha, I love the whole underground hardcore metalcore scene. I often put gigs on to give up and coming touring bands with local less experienced bands. Without the teenagers I'd be broke lol |

Always have done & always will take pride in my appearance. From normal day to day wear, work wear and going out clobber I spend a small fortune on looking dapper.
It takes more than just buying an expensive shirt or pair of shoes though it's how you wear them. So many have the gear but no idea!
No doubt will get replies on its all the same... Primark to Armani but its certainly not |

I wouldnt dare by my son clothes lol, he spends all his money on them. He always looks really smart but i think i would call it fashionable, not particulary way out. He keeps his hair short and it sort of goes over somehow at the front but he has a DA at the back well obviously he didnt know what a DA was when i used to tease him about it. But hes always been obsessed about his look. He used to have two baths everyday and from being really young used to change his clothes about three times aday. In the end i got so fed up of washing them i would take them out the wash basket, freebreeze them and hang them back up again lol. Think i would describe him as a metro(is that the right word) man |

When my hair was long I had my own straighteners and despite being a stuffy bastard the hair was always straightened. My mates used to hate how long it took to get ready.
These days I'm just as bad with my quiff. And I do discuss hair product with friends...
And don't get me started on shoes! |

My son is 16 and just started college. I've not bought him clothes since he was 10. A friend told me she gave her 10yr old an allowance (pocket money and clothing rolled into one), omg, I saved an absolute fortune. He's spent the past 6yrs saying "jeans are jeans, who needs big expensive labels?", but now he's at college, despite the fact that he has to wear a uniform (catering college) he's starting to get a bit more interested in his clothes and hair. Not expensive names emblazoned all over his clothes but he goes more for quality than quantity now and even though he doesn't do all the primping with his hair, he does get it cut more often now, as for his underwear ... well, that simply MUST be CK, nothing else will do.
Me (f/44), knickers are still knickers, only me, BamBam and the washing machine see them so does it matter whether they cost £3 or £30 a pair??? |
