Outfits for Boys that Will Up Their Style Game
Up until recently, the standard summer uniform for boys was their favorite shorts and an old T-shirt, maybe with the addition of a pair of sandals if the event was really special. These days, more and more boys are trying to up their style game by incorporating denim into their outfits, whether that’s jeans or denim shirts. Here are some ideas on what you can wear if you’re looking to incorporate into your summer wardrobe.
1) Denim Shirt + Chinos
A denim shirt is a must-have in any guy’s wardrobe. It’s versatile, stylish, and cool. Pair it with chinos in a variety of colors for a put-together look that will up your style game. Add an oversized blazer or vest to complete the outfit.
A Vibrant Fit + Contrasting Color: For boys who want something more vibrant, try a bright colored skinny fit jeans with an outfit that contrasts the color scheme such as a white T-shirt and bright colored sneakers. For cool fall days wear them with brown booties or loafers.
2) Rolled up Chinos + T-Shirt
A t-shirt and chinos is always a good look, but to up your style game, consider rolling up the chinos. This look is perfect for boys who want to show off their designer shoes. Plus, it’s a great way to add a pop of color to an outfit. To get this look, simply pair a t-shirt with chinos in a variety of colors. Then, roll up the chinos so they sit just above the ankle. Finish off the look with a pair of designer shoes and you’re good to go.
You can roll up your chinos in a variety of ways to create unique looks. The main idea is to have them sit above your ankle, and you can do so by rolling up one leg or both. If you choose to roll up both legs, it’s important not to bunch your chinos because it will make them look shorter than they actually are. Instead, consider using a belt to hold your rolled-up chinos in place at waist level. This will keep things from getting bunched up and keep everything looking neat and stylish.
3) Jeans + Graphic Tee
A casual and cool look for boys is jeans with a graphic tee. This outfit is comfortable and perfect for everyday wear, but can also be dressed up with the right accessories. To get this look, start with a pair of dark wash jeans. Choose a tee with a fun print or graphic design, and pair it with sneakers or Converse shoes. Add a jacket if it’s chilly outside. For an extra touch, accessorize with a baseball cap or beanie.
Graphic tees are great because they work well with a variety of outfits. Pair a graphic tee with shorts, like these shorts from Urban Outfitters, to wear on a summer day. Add some athletic shoes and your favorite watch to finish off your look. Or if you prefer long sleeves in warmer weather..
4) Jeans + Tee
A denim and tee combo is a go-to for any guy looking to up his style game. It’s easy, effortless, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. To make this look work for you, start with a pair of dark wash jeans and pair it with a fitted tee in a complementary color. Then, add some accessories to finish things off – think a leather jacket or fedora hat.
For an even more casual take on denim and tees, opt for a faded pair of jeans with a vintage tee in a color that pops. To add some interest to your outfit, consider accessorizing with one or two statement pieces such as an over-sized bag and bold shoes. For extra points, try wearing tinted sunglasses or a colorful watch.
5) Baseball caps with Jeans
It’s time to start thinking about how to style your little man. He’s growing up so fast and you want him to look his best. Here are some great ideas for denim outfits that will up his style game.
Pairing a baseball cap with jeans is a classic, casual look that can be easily dressed up or down. If you’re going for a more laid-back vibe, opt for a pair of distressed jeans and a well-worn cap. Add a plaid shirt and some sneakers and he’s ready for a day of exploring. For a sharper look, go for straight-leg jeans and a clean-cut cap. Add a button-down shirt and some loafers.
Baseball caps are great. They can dress up a more formal outfit, like a button-down shirt and dark denim. Add some loafers or sneakers and he’s good to go. What you want to avoid is a baseball cap with chinos or khakis. Chinos in particular look bad with caps as they make them look too casual and overly juvenile. Denim outfits for boys should be limited to jeans and not baggy jeans either.
6) Skinny jeans with sneakers
A great way to start off any outfit is with a good pair of jeans. For boys, we recommend skinny jeans. They’re comfortable and versatile, and can be dressed up or down. Plus, they look great with sneakers – a must-have in any boy’s wardrobe.
Skinny jeans are slim-fitting at both top and bottom. They’re made from heavier denim, making them ideal for casual wear in cooler weather. Skinny jeans can be styled with a tee shirt or under a blazer to dress up an outfit. If you have trouble finding skinny jeans in stores, try looking online – many brands offer different fits, so you should be able to find what you’re looking for without much trouble.
7) Dress shirts with jeans and boots/shoes
A dress shirt is a versatile wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. To dress it up, pair it with dark-wash jeans and brown boots or shoes. This look is perfect for a casual day at school or a weekend out with friends. To dress it down, pair the shirt with light-wash jeans and sneakers. This look is ideal for a relaxed day at home or running errands. Either way, your boy will be stylish and comfortable in denim!
Jeans are essential. They’re comfortable, versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on what shirt you wear with them. Don’t think about buying a single pair of jeans; it will only lead to gaps in your wardrobe down the road. Instead, buy a pair in dark wash, medium wash and light wash, so you can wear them with any color denim shirt or dress shirt. If your boy has trouble finding jeans he likes to wear, take him shopping—you might just find something he loves! And once he finds a style he likes, invest in multiple pairs so they last longer.
