Little Boy Clothes

About Little Boy Clothes

You are the proud new parent of a bouncing baby boy and you quickly learn that the clothing options for little boys are definitely not as interesting as what is available for the girls. Baby boy clothes are often the basic blue and style is an afterthought. And many times the print or pattern is more cutesy and sweet instead of masculine and fun.

Creating the perfect look for your little guy may take some creative thinking. Having lots of separate pieces in his wardrobe instead of outfits and pjs will give him lots more options. Follow today's men's fashion trends to mimic stylish duds for your little man:

o Little Surfer Dude
Show off your son's fun and sporty side with surf inspired wear. Think relaxed khaki pants with a fun logo t-shirt or little board shorts topped with a classic plaid shirt. If it looks like he should be chilling on the beach then you have nailed the style. Look for one piece body suits with logos or in solid colors for layering. Buy little jeans, khakis, and board shorts to create outfits that are easy to assemble. Hooded sweatshirts and button up shirts are great for adding a top layer when the weather is cooler.

o Lil Rocker
Clothing with an edge creates this look. The one pieces and t-shirts praise rock groups or have rocking instruments on them. Little jeans with tiny sneakers or boots complete the outfit. Like the little surfer look, layering can be the key to cool and will also help baby stay warm. There are several baby boutiques that feature rocker apparel in the tiny sizes. When putting together baby boy clothes in a rocker outfit just think attitude and edge.

o Tiny Prepster
The tiny prepster has a look that every mom will be proud of- and the grandparents will like it too! Little sweaters layered with collared shirts are a staple in this style. Add a touch of trendy cool by leaving the shirt untucked. Loose fitting khakis will pair well with most tops. Collared one piece body suits can also be found so that even the littlest boys can look dapper. Oxford shoes or a pair of nice white tennis shoes will keep the outfit looking clean (as clean as a baby can be!) and put together. Sweater vests are also a good option and layer well with separates. If it looks like an outfit seen on a yacht or in the country club then you've got the prepster look down.

No matter what style the baby boy clothes you buy fall into, it's important that they will be practical and easy to take on and off. A parent's best bet is to purchase four pairs or so of little pants- one or two colored pairs and one or two pairs of jeans. They can be pulled over a basic one piece for an easy outfit. One piece body suits are essential; parents should buy a lot with a range from thin, layer-able pieces to thicker logo or collared items. Button up shirts are best reserved for older babies who don't spit up as much because bibs are tricky with these shirts. Sweaters and jackets should be easy to put on and off with quick closures so there is less wrestling in the warm house before they go outside.
