A mum loves styling her young boys in “traditional outfits” and says trolls who mistake them for girls just "don't understand fashion".<br /><br />Ebony Jones, 27, has always loved dressing her three sons – aged three, five and seven – in “old fashioned” clothes.<br /><br />She loves Peter Pan collars, knee high socks and cardigans – and estimates she has spent at around £3,000 on 100 outfits over the years.<br /><br />And she claims trolls tell her it looks like she "wished" she had a girl and they say her boys will get “bullied”.<br /><br />But Ebony, a receptionist from York, loves that they look “smart”.<br /><br />She said: “It’s nice to take pride in what they are wearing. I’ve always bought traditional style clothing.<br /><br />“I like them to look smart.<br /><br />“I get a majority of negative comments – people say ‘I bet you wished you had a girl’ or ‘he’s going to get bullied’. They don’t bother me.<br /><br />“People do mistaken him [Ebony’s youngest son] for a girl. It doesn’t bother me, I just correct them. <br /><br />“They don’t understand fashion and that’s fine, not everyone does.”<br /><br />Ebony and her partner, 30, say the negative comments don’t bother them and they find the older generation more appreciative.<br /><br />She said: “I get comments saying he should be getting muddy. He does still get muddy.<br /><br />“Older people – they comment that they look smart.”<br /><br />The mum-of-three finds the clothes at online sites such as Childrensalon and Rachel Riley UK.<br /><br />Ebony said: “I shop at a lot of the same shops that the Royal family go to.<br /><br />“People say I’m trying to be something I’m not.”<br /><br />When the boys hit the age of three, Ebony will usually change up their style and will find clothes that are in fashion and they feel comfortable in.<br /><br />She said: “They get to an age where they don’t want to be dressed ‘babyish’ or in too fancy clothes.<br /><br />“At the moment they are into cargos and dunks.”<br /><br />Ebony is now starting to go through the process of changing over the wardrobe for her three-year-old son.<br /><br />But she wants to encourage other parents to dress their children how they want to - and ignore any haters.<br /><br />She said: "If they like it, they should do it."<br /><br />Follow Ebony on Tiktok and Instagram @ebony_andthreeboysx
