I actually think the clothing situation is worse for boys than girls you know. From my daughters friends (8 - 10 sort of age range) I've noticed that the girls will compliment each other on cute / novel items regardless of brand or cost etc and so a £30 pair of off brand trainers or a £7 top is fine if they're "cute!" but for boys, it's more about the label and something like off-brand trainers would be social suicide. Glad I have girls. For now.
Not so much in 5 years when they start looking at £50 foundation
