That's the problem, A lot of people buy what is advertised and what others do. If this catches up, I dare to say that is even dangerous to children. Part of our development as children is being affected by colors, cartoons that shows masculinity/femininity, etc. Erasing this from children's growing environment will have damaging effects. To put in in religious terms it will kill our human soul.
Even for those who don't believe in souls and think this is "cute", the symbolism has psychological effect that are not even understood by most people. Skulls are symbols of death, different crosses have different meanings, there are reasons why priests wear certain colors, etc.
Advertising to kids should be illegal, they have no purchasing power, all it does is make them nag their parents. I think an appropriate age to pick whatever they want to put on is 14 or puberty, whatever comes first.
I read this, and all I can think is...drama queen.
the baggy crotch thing - what the heck? there's gender neutral & then theres.....plenty of room in my pants to shoplift stuff
what's with the big A on the shirts? i got the "new order" thing & the random alphabet thing, but the "A"? i highly doubt it's a reference to adulterer

Fashion tastes are extremely subjective. Even going along with your own personal tastes in fashion, how do you know there's no possibility of a tasteful type of non-gendered clothing? Hence, ugliness of one kind of clothing doesn't invalidate the notion of gender neutral clothing - any more than ugly examples of highly male or highly female clothing doesn't invalidate the general notion of male clothing and female clothing in general.
Right now? Skulls have been on trend since my kids were in elementary school more than a decade ago.
I was replying to that poster who is seemingly stuck in their ways that it isn't OK to be on clothing. A lot of this is about not knowing or hating new trends by the "get off my lawn" crowd.
What is all the fuss about? When you get right down to it, jeans and a t-shirt are also pretty damn "gender-neutral."
Don't like it? Don't buy it.
True. However, certain types of clothing are perhaps more commonly worn by girls than boys and vice versa. From a practical standpoint, making gender-neutral clothing at times is pathetic because you have to account for the anatomical differences between boys and girls from some clothing styles. For example, maybe certain shirts should be designed to be comfortable for girls with big boobs.

I have literally no idea what you are talking about. I'm fairly well-endowed in terms of boobage, and haven't been harmed by a shirt yet.

By the time they have boobs they are adolescents and choose they own clothing anyways. Some people may think they are "cute", but I am trying to point out the physiological and psychological effects on children. I already mentioned the symbolism, I'd rather put a flower on a little girl than a cross, or some cartoon rather than a skull. But even physiologically, Will people let an 8 year old wear heels because she wants to? When they says let the kids decide, they actually mean: let the advertiser decide.

Men's clothing is typically unisex. That said, men's clothing wears much differently on women than men. Men have worn more pink of late, women have worn more men's styles of late. Not that women don't wear women's clothes either, but the clothing gender issue has been smashed for sometime now. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
