Mum Criticizes Matalan Over Children's Clothing
Matalan faced criticism from customer Samantha, a teacher, for selling see-through crop tops in their children's clothing section, covering ages seven to thirteen. She posted her concerns on TikTok, expressing discomfort with a pink crop top featuring a cut-out detail near the neckline, which exposed skin. Samantha deemed several outfits 'inappropriate' or 'too short' but found some suitable items, including cycle shorts, a grey top, a white t-shirt, and a stripey dress. She rated the overall shopping experience poorly for her stepdaughter.
