Early in the 20th century little boys were dressed up just as much as little girls were. Believe it or not, in the early 1900's it was not uncommon to find baby boys in dresses. They were wearing silk and lace, along with a sailor outfit here and there. Somewhere in the middle of the century, boys clothing got less formal and just plain bleak.
Mothers-to-be have commonly been heard saying, "I want a little girl so I can dress her up. Dressing boys is no fun." Who could blame them? For a long time it seemed as though the clothes available for baby boys and little boys were pretty much limited to t-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps.
Boys aren't wearing dresses anymore, but there are more options available to them now than there has been in more than 50 years. It used to be that boys clothing was made of simple fabrics and very limited color choices. Finding something with style was very difficult.
Now boys can be just as fashionable as girls. In general, kids are becoming independent thinkers very early on. Designers have taken notice and jumped on the bandwagon. They are no longer just focusing on young girls. Designers are now giving boys the option to have their own unique style. Original, quirky, colorful clothes are not just for young girls anymore.
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 you have a little rock-and-roller running around your house, you should have no problem finding him a fashionable wardrobe to compliment his personality. Even department stores are now carrying rock star and graphic t-shirts, along with up-to-date jeans that are comparable in style with the selection that young girls are offered.
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.
Boy's fashion choices aren't limited to just clothing either. Now there are lines of shoes and accessories pretty equal to the amount of choices that girls have.
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. - 15266
