Essential Pieces for Every Boy’s Wardrobe

Getting boys dressed and ready for the day can sometimes be a challenge. Whether he is super active or happy just chilling around the house, we have curated wardrobe essentials that will provide the perfect stress-free wardrobe for any boy.

 
  1. Joggers

Joggers are super comfortable and easy to wear, especially for kids that are busy with activities all day long. They can be mixed with everything from graphic tees, sweatshirts and sports jerseys for a cool and casual school look. To elevate your boy’s appearance for a party or going out for dinner look, try pairing his favorite joggers with a henley, denim jacket, polo shirt, or nice sweater.

2. Classic Hoodie

Boys love comfortable, oversized hoodies, and so do we. A practical layer piece on a cool day, hoodies will blend effortlessly with everything in his closet, plus the hood will serve as a little extra coverage on a rainy or windy day.  Many boys prefer a hoodie to a jacket, so having a few quality options on hand is ideal.  Styles range from solid colors to cool graphics, and can be layered under denim jackets or puffers on colder days. Depending on his preference both zip ups and pullovers are in style and readily available.

3. Button Down

A button-down is the perfect layer piece to take a casual look and make it a little dressier. Boys can layer a button-down over any t-shirt and wear it with joggers, jeans, cargo pants, and even shorts. For a preppy look we love a striped button-down. Flannels are also a great closet addition especially as temperatures begin to trend down.

4. Jeans

We believe jeans are the foundation of every wardrobe, but finding the right pair for your boys can be tricky. Luckily there are more choices than ever before, like super soft fabrics, wider legs, and even elastic waistbands making jeans a comfortable daily favorite for many boys. We love how the neutral tones in denim mix with any top and shoe. Find the style that works best for your little guy and he will be wearing them on repeat.

5. Solid Tee

Good quality t-shirts are practical and provide an easy base for any outfit. While we also love and recommend some cool graphic ones that appeal to a boy’s interests, a solid tee is extra versatile and can be dressed up or down, so having a few colors on hand will be useful. A simple tee and jeans look layered under a button-down or denim jacket on top will step up your little one’s style even further.

6. Denim Jacket

Denim jackets are always in style and perfect for creating some cool-guy vibes. Look for oversized jackets that can grow with him. An easy and practical layer piece on a cooler day, boys can wear a jean jacket over any tee, hoodie, sweater or henley. We also love denim on denim for a slightly more polished look.

7. Henley Shirts

Henley shirts serve many purposes in your boy’s wardrobe. They are comfortable, always in style, and can look a bit dressier when needed. Henleys are a great option for a party when worn with cargos and also look great on their own or under another layer like a denim jacket, classic button-down or flannel.

8. Sweaters

A classic sweater is a boys’ wardrobe essential and a go-to item for dressier occasions, school concerts, parties, and holiday attire. Sweaters look great on their own or worn over a collared shirt like a polo style or button-down. They can be worn with any of the bottoms we mentioned depending on the occasion.
