Every mother wants the best for their little loves, from making the home a kid’s paradise to dressing their kids in cute outfits. It’s a common opinion that when it comes to clothing, girls’ attire choices are much wider compared to boys’. Choosing the right clothes for boys may be more complex as they damage them faster. However, having a few staples that you can mix and match with the everyday pieces might be a smart choice for dressing up your boy in style. With some careful consideration when picking the right material and design, your little boy may end up looking very cute and charming.

Knitwear

No boy’s wardrobe is complete without a few knitted pieces. Boys knitwear can be a fun and versatile option to add style during the transition of seasons and keep your boy warm and cozy. Knitwear is ideal for children who act like they can’t feel the cold and want to take on the great outdoors in little more than a T-shirt or vests. When it comes to styles of boys knitwear, you can choose from a plethora of options, from simple one-coloured jumpers to cute cardigans and vintage-inspired designs.

When it comes to boys, a knitted jumper is always a good idea. Boys like to spend a lot of time outside, and they need something soft and cosy to keep them warm in the chilly days. You can opt for a simple model made of cotton with a chunky knit weave to go with a lot of outfit combos. You can style it with jeans alone or layer it with a classy shirt or add a beanie in the same colour to make his style even more adorable.

Cardigans are also popular choices of boy knitwear. These versatile pieces can be combined with a lot of everyday clothes, and the fact that they are so easy to put on makes them even more desirable for both moms and boys. Their button design allows you to style your boy’s outfit in multiple ways. They are perfect for layering and go well with overalls too.

If you want to dress up your boy in an adorable outfit for that family Christmas photo, you can’t go wrong with a cute vintage-inspired short sleeve boy knit. Your boy can wear it with shorts when it’s a little windy on the beach too, looking great and feeling warm.

Tip: When choosing knitwear for your boy, make sure you opt for clothes that are at least one size bigger. Boys outgrow clothes so fast and some pieces of knitwear can shrink a little when machine-washed.

Pants

Pants come in a plethora of styles and materials you can choose from. Opting for a model with slouchy, drop crotch style with skinny legs is a good idea as your little munchkin can wear it on various occassions. Ones made from a soft medium-thick rib fabric featuring a drawstring waist are also a good buy as they can easily be a year-round staple. Combine them with hoodies, T-shirts or knitwear for the ultimate cozy and chic look.

Dress shirts

Nothing screams “stylish” more than a nice dress shirt, and the same applies to little boys. Whether you dress your munchkin in the shirt alone or pair it with a knitted jumper, you can’t go wrong either way. Available in a plethora of designs and colours, dress shirts are the ideal piece to dress up your little man. They are also great for summer layering when worn on top of a T-shirt. One-coloured models go better with jumpers, while stripes, cubes or flower designs are perfect for summertime.

Denim Jacket

Denim wear will probably never go out of style. It goes well with pants, jeans, T-shirts and jumpers in every colour and every style. Your boy can even enjoy this versatile jacket in spring and autumn. You can opt for a more classy model with a regular collar, or go sporty with a hooded denim jacket. If you opt for the hooded model, your boy can put the hoodie on in case it’s chilly or windy outside.

What to Look for When Buying Boy Clothes

You sure want your boy to feel comfortable in everything he wears, which is why finding the right fit is essential. It’s also important that the clothes are made from soft and cosy materials that you would want to wear yourself. You might want to be a little extra careful when choosing knitwear. To avoid itchy clothes, go with natural fabrics. If you stick to 100% cotton clothing, you’ll know that you’ve chosen soft and premium quality pieces that your boy can freely play in. Also, pick colours that are flexible to mix and match with your boy’s everyday clothes. Go with a loose colour scheme. Pastels, browns, turtle green, neutrals, hipster black, are excellent colour choices that go with almost anything.
