Spitting Image — by Guest Mom Rebecca Rather


Little Boy Style 2:

Lately, I’ve been especially drawn to the retro look. A few months ago we had to track down a picture of my husband for my kindergartner’s classroom, and found the awesome shot featured above (Yes. This is John!!!):

Funny thing is, I realize that I can see my boys in just about everything John’s wearing in the picture.

This is a track jacket that my 7-year-old has loved wearing this fall.


And these sneakers
have been a hit with my 6-year-old.


I also love these Converse shoes.
Samuel has similar ones of a different brand that he loves.


Last thoughts on Little Boy Style:
I admit cute kid clothes are mostly for the moms to
enjoy. My boys, like many, are fond of rolling around in the mud and getting grass stains while trying to make great soccer saves. So from a practical view, some of the best boy clothes can be found at H&M. Bummer for me: there isn't one in Wichita, which adds to my NYC withdrawals.

H&M’s
clothing is hip and affordable. Their jeans and cords are awesome and their plain long-sleeve t-shirts are unsurpassable in their great color options and fit — fitted, but not too tight. They look great even on my super (super) skinny 4-year-old. (Sorry no pictures, darn it, H&M doesn’t do online shopping yet.)

These are some of my favorites. What do your boys like to wear, or I should say, what do you like your boys to wear?

Can you believe I actually remeber that haircut on John? I was sad when you moved from NY, one of the reasons is because there isn't an H&M in Utah either. I always made it a priority to visit H&M while visiting the Rathers...they have great stuff.

My only son is just two... but he is TINY... we are finally branching into the 2T stuff. I LOVE this stuff you have posted. I did just buy him some Chuck Taylors and he has a very "Maddox Jolie-Pitt" jacket in the closet that is waiting to be put on (so far, the weather is still too warm...).

H&M....have faith. I found it in England 10 years ago...and waited for it to come to the US..then it hit New York...we are finally getting them in SF....maybe they will move inward from both costs? :-) WHY don't they have online shopping? Really?

Bek:
I think Kansas might be one of the last places H&M ventures to....

Caroline:
Will you still come visit?

Sunshine:
DesignMom's site is the best!

I love my boys in Converse high tops, too--so cute and classic (great to hand-me-down).

I love to put my boys in collared rugby-type shirts (which they don't like), and stripes. Everything has stripes (I'm not sure why--camoflage the mess?)

I love H&M! I wish they had one in Utah. . . We're getting an Ikea, so there's hope, right?

The Converse sneaks are so cute on boys! But I have a pair myself and they are my most comfortable of shoes. So if you ever have a girl, be sure to get her some little Converse low-tops; or maybe I will.

I agree-- converse sneakers are timeless. And the more camoflauge the shirt, the better!
