back-to-school shopping: where do you draw the line?

If you have children heading back to school in a few weeks, it's likely that back-to-school shopping is on your agenda or you'll be financing this annual event.
I have young children so I make most of the choices, but I know that parents with teens don't have it nearly as easy I do.
So, where do you draw the line? Do you provide a set amount of money for clothing and let your child spend it how they please, or do you shop for bargains? Do you give in and buy all of the trendy designer clothes and $100+ sneakers?
Or, do you make them buy their own clothes? I remember working as a teenager so I could buy my own clothes becasue there were certain things my mother simply would not pay for.
How do you handle the pressure?

I worry though, because I fear that my daughter will care one day. By then her eldest brother will be done with college and paying his own bills, and my middle child (also a boy) will be nearly headed to college. ;)

If it's good enough for me (and it is) it's good enough for them.
God bless.
