Here are some clothing and jewelry recommendations that my 15 year old has, currently on his wishlist or on my online shopping cart.
Hoodies! You can never go wrong with these.It's both a must and just a preference for outfit of the day looks.
Men's Baggy Cinch Hoodie | Men's Clearance
Hollister hoodies are a must for teen boys but get this one if you have a senior graduating this year! My teen wished he was a senior just for this lol
Boxy Leopard Print Hoodie | Hollister Co. US Shop
Aside from the usual collection of hoodies, my teen prefers having boxy versions - don't know why. Just cause it's “for the fit” of the day.
Boxy Hoodie - Hollister Co. US
My son really likes the “boxy crop” tees and the quality from Hollister is 100%.
Boxy Heavyweight Crop-Washed Crew T-Shirt | Hollister Co. US
Henley's from Old Navy are apparently the best. Also my son's been into 80s styling so apparently this is another thing that is considered a must have.
Waffle Henley T-Shirt | Old Navy
We don't have to get them real jewelry but for starters, this one from Target is a great way to have for their every day use still.
Adornia Men's Tarnish Resistant Oxidized Franco Chain Necklace
My son also prefers the cuban chain and these are reasonably priced on Target that he could even purchase them for himself. They're also tarnish resistant which is ideal since mine has to have his chain almost everyday.
Adornia Men's Tarnish Resistant 24" 5mm Cuban Curb Chain
This is like the other one but a thicker version for those who prefers the 9mm.
Adornia Men's Tarnish Resistant Extra Thick 9mm Cuban Chain
Blue light glasses since my son's always in front of his laptop for studying and doing homework. He loves this one and he said it works for just wearing it too.
Chamberlain Eyeglasses in Crystal
This one from Target is very affordable.
Men's Crystal Clear Blue Light Filtering Square Glasses - Original Use™ Clear: Scratch-Resistant, Recycled Plastic Frame
My son loves RayBans and here are some reasonably priced ones.
Ray-Ban | Meta Skyler (Gen 2) - Shiny Black, Green Lenses
Music Lover
My son is into all things Stranger Things, Djo and pretty much 80s stuff. He loves portable speakers as well and takes one when practicing, working out or just doing work, so this was a win-win.
Crosley Cassette Bluetooth Speaker - Black: Portable Wireless USB Rechargeable 6-Hour Battery
Another version of a vintage portable speaker that my son had on his list.
Crosley Rondo Bluetooth Speaker - Black: Portable, USB, MicroSD, Rechargeable Battery
My son got this for Christmas. The sound quality is amazing.
Crolsey Mini Cassette Player Bluetooth Speaker - Mint: Portable Dual Pairing Audio Device
Have a son playing the guitar? Have a tuner on hand. This is an essential for guitar players.
BOSS TU-3 Chromatic Floor Tuner for Guitar & Bass
The Gamer
Here are some lists of games, gaming equipment and essentials that my son currently has or is keeping his eye on.
If your teen played the first version, apparently this one's even better!
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Standard Edition - PlayStation 5
Hands down the best car/race game: he loves the progression, mechanics and ability to customize cars.
Gran Turismo 7 - PlayStation 5
Colognes
Growing teens need to feel confident and these scents have been the best
From a mom's perspective (or nose), this is just right. Smells fresh and very light.
2.0 oz MYSLF Eau de Parfum - Yves Saint Laurent | Ulta Beauty
Lasts longer than the other scents
3.4 oz Eros Eau de Toilette - Versace | Ulta Beauty
Long lasting and gets the most compliments on this scent!
2.5 oz Armani Code Parfum - ARMANI | Ulta Beauty
Comes off very strong in the very first few minutes of spraying it but letting it sit for a bit and it actually smells really good and light. So just a warning, spray really early before seeing people and not right before seeing them as it comes off ...
1.7 oz Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely Eau de Parfum - ARMANI | Ulta Beauty
Essentials
Things I would regularly have for him, include in baskets as stuffers just because they will always need it :)
They will never be ahead of laundry and will run out of socks. These are on of the best ones he has.

He doesn't put it in his list but he loves using it.

Another item in his daily essentials bag - these teens are so particular about their clothes.
