Boys Clothing Can be Fashionable Too {By: Katie Wilber}

Over the course of the last century boys clothing changed a lot. In the early 1900’s boys were generally dressed up as much as little girls, even in dresses. Granted, there were a few sailor outfits being worn by little boys, but there were also a lot of boys clothing adorned with lace and silk. As time went on, boys clothing got less formal and pretty bleak.

Boys went from dresses to jeans, khakis, t-shirts, and baseball caps. Mothers-to-be were wishing for little girls so they could have options to dress their babies up. The common thought was, “Dressing boys is no fun.”

Well, we might not put boys in dresses or pigtails, but the options have come a very long way over the last decade or so. Boys clothing used to come in simple fabrics with a very limited color scheme. Finding anything cute or out of the ordinary was a very difficult task.

Boys can be just as fashionable as girls these days. With kids becoming independent thinkers early than ever, designers are standing up and taking notice. Long gone are the days of focusing on just the young girls. Boys want to have their own style, and the designers are giving them options. Now you can find original, quirky, colorful clothes for both sexes.

From Target and Sears to boutique designers like Sweet Potatoes and Knuckleheads, the industry has taken notice of the need to make fashionable boys clothing. It’s no longer an acceptable excuse to claim that shopping for boys is no fun.

If there’s a mini rock-and-roller in your family, there should be no issue finding him clothing that fits with his interests and personality. It’s very common to walk into any department store and find rock star and graphic t-shirts for young boys. A stroll through the boy’s jean section will lead to up-to-date jeans that rival the style and selection of the young girl’s choices.

Boys don’t have to be part of a sports team to wear jerseys and other athletic wear anymore. Walk into any store and you will find sport inspired hoodies, t-shirts, and even casual polo shirts. Whether your boy just likes the feel and style, or is a diehard fan of a team, the options are nearly endless. Expectant parents can even find sports inspired newborn clothing.

Not only has fashionable clothing become popular for boys, but now they also have shoes and accessories available to them.

Department stores, chain shoe stores and online stores are also carrying a large range of fashionable shoes. Whether your boy likes casual shoes, boots and skating (skateboarding) shoes, there should be no shortage of styles and companies to pick from at the local mall or on the Internet.

Whether your boy’s style is cargo pants, athletic wear, rocker t-shirts, or sweaters, he has just about as many choices as a girl the same age as him has. He may still want to wear his t-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps, but he has options available now.
