Back to School Outfit Ideas For Boys
Nothing signals the last days of summer like the return of school for our boys. Back-to-school also means shorter days, cooler temperatures, tighter schedules, and more productivity for me (I hope). Although I am over the moon with the boys being back in school, I’m not a huge fan of the process of getting them prepared to be their absolute best for the coming school year. I make a checklist to ensure I don’t forget one single thing!
Eye appointments, ever since the twins both started wearing glasses it is crucial that before they sit inside anyone’s classrooms they get those eyes checked and their optometrist eyeglass prescriptions updated.
Then there’s school supplies, backpacks, haircuts, shoe shopping (I can’t believe how much our boys have grown this summer!), and finally, shopping for clothes! Since I have all boys I thought I was safe from the long and drawn out nightmare I thought shopping for girls would have been. Now, I am not so sure. These boys of mine are very particular when it comes to the style of clothes they want.
Zayd’n goes to a school where uniforms are mandatory, but that doesn’t stop his style. He is without a doubt the most persnickety fashion-conscious kid ever! But I have to admit this kid has great fashion instincts, and although I have the final say on what he ultimately gets he picks out some very nice outfits.
When the kids were little, I loved shopping at OshKosh B’Gosh! However, they quickly grew up and we could no longer shop there (so I thought). I recently discovered OshKosh B’Gosh added a size 14 to their stylish line of clothes. OMG, YES!
Our youngest and I really like their style. Most people still think of OshKosh B’Gosh is a place to get bib overalls but let me take a second or two and set the record straight. OshKosh B’Gosh is stocked floor to ceiling with high-quality and very modern selections.
On our way to Jekyll Island (Georgia), we stopped by OshKosh, and I let Zayd’n pick out a few outfits. I have to admit, he did a pretty fantastic job pairing his outfits together.
Zayd’n is sharing a few of his tips to have a successful school year and dressing in style:
- Always be yourself.
- Find good friends.
- Be respectful to the teacher and staff.
- Be loyal and kind to your peers.
- Try to look your best.
- Make sure you dress yourself.
- Shop online or go to Osh Kosh B’Gosh for stylish ideas.
- Make sure you have some nice shoes (and don’t get them dirty).
- Be careful of who you trust and hang around.
- Keep yourself smelling fresh.
- Have a positive attitude and don’t let people get to you.

Just look at him! Isn’t he so handsome and his back-to-school clothes look totally amazing! Wouldn’t you agree?

I like to spend time shopping with my son and picking him out new clothes for school. I also like that I have some peace and quite at home again.

My favorite things about back to school is the shopping and getting to relive the back to school excitement I felt when I was little – and of course the thought of my daughter going back to school is nice, I love her to death but good grief she talks a lot! Looking forward to a little bit of quite time! 😉

We homeschool so my favorite thing about back to school is that I don’t have to buy a TON of clothes for my kids to wear 🙂
Elayne says
What a handsome guy! I really love his back to school tips and I agree with number 1, and all the rest will fall into line.

Tonya says
My favorite thing is that I don’t have to deal with it anymore. 🙂 BUT I’ve always loved Osh Kosh clothes for the style and durability. I’d love to win a gift card so I could pick up some cute things for my nephew.
Ann Tower says
My favorite thing about back to school is student orientation day. Students get their schedule on this day, which is about a week before school starts. They can walk around in the hallways and locate their classes, meet their teachers, and locate their new locker.

What I love most even since I was a kid with my mom is back-to-school clothes and shoes shopping. My mom would set aside money or fund months ahead so there really is a budget for this. It’s a big deal for my her for us to have new clothes especially on first day. I do the same now that I am a mom. First day or first week of school is always special, so I take my child to buy clothes (her first year going). It’s a great memory and bonding time too.
Lisa says
I love starting the school year fresh with new fall looks. I feel that it sets the stage to enter the year confidently.

The best thing about back to school time is clothing shopping, and trying to find the best deals 😉
