When planning to buy boys’ clothes for a special occasion, we have to think of their age and what they like. Most importantly we have to keep the occasion or the event in mind. Whatever you decide to buy make sure it is comfortable and made of good quality material that will last. The general formal rule for boys’ dress code is normally a clean, wrinkle-free shirt tucked in and belted pants. (Hair cut and properly groomed and if they are old enough and require a shave, then they should be cleanly or neatly. shaven).
For School 
In cases where the school does not have a specific uniform an easy way to dress for school is to find simple tops. Crew necks, V necks, and collared shirts. Buy neutral colors like black, white, or brown. You may also want to go for stripes or plaid. You can easily mix and match these tops with a pair of jeans or dark-colored pants. Also, some schools will permit shorts for warmer days. Opt for an elastic waist as your boy is growing and may be gaining weight around the waist, in that case, we do not want his pants to get tight quickly.
Oversize seems to be another theme of back-to-school. From sweatshirts to jackets. Loose fitting seems to be the trend. However, an unbuttoned shirt, a muscle or sleeveless shirt is not appropriate for school.
For Play
Dress your boys in comfortable clothing. Especially if taking a trip to the park for play. Be aware of clothing that can get caught or what he can trip over. Not too baggy and not too close fitting or tight to prevent them from playing comfortably. Also, make sure shoelaces are tied tightly and securely to prevent accidents. T-shirts and henleys are better for the warmer days while a jacket or a hoodie is more appropriate for the colder days. Dress them in long pants which will keep them covered and protected from scrapes, the sun, and insect bites. Skip the accessories and avoid the sandals and the flip-flops. Go instead for sneakers.
For indoor play, you can slightly adjust the dress mode. Remove the jacket or the hoodie as indoors is normally warmer than outdoors. Whether the play is indoors or outdoors, in warm or cold weather, how you dress them will have a big impact on their playtime. So make sure they are comfortably dressed so they can enjoy their time at play.
For Party
When thinking of what to dress your boy in for a party, you can decide to dress him relaxed, fancy, or festive, depending on the type of party. Also, where will it take place, indoors or outdoors and what season is it? Will the event require a costume? Where no theme is mentioned in the invite, he can wear just about anything he likes or what fits the season. From a plain T-shirt to a colored shirt and a pair of jeans with sneakers. Avoid white t-shirts or white jeans as these will be easily stained. For the cooler days, you can opt to have him wear a hoodie or a sweater, or a stylish leather jacket. Again if old enough to shave, let him get a haircut and a shave. Maybe add minor accessories like a watch or a bracelet.
Avoid any piece of clothing with rips and also over baggy clothing, and if you want the look simple and elegant then ditch the graphic tees for solid colors. Focus on fit and comfort.
For Graduation
The formal mode of dressing for boys is belted dark-tailored pants with a solid or striped wrinkle-free button-down shirt with a tie or bow tie. However, if the boy is old enough then a blazer can also be considered. When the boy is the graduate then forget the blazer, as chances are he will be robbed or there will be a specific mode of dressingThrow in a pair of dress shoes and simple accessories.
However, if he is younger and aged between a toddler and a first grader is not the graduate, a polo and khaki or a dress pant will do fine.
Conclusion
Whatever the occasion, be it a play, party, graduation, or everyday wear for school, whatever is decided on to purchase, it must be comfortable, of good material, and fitted properly. Do not overindulge on any occasion and stay within budget.
