How to Shop Boys’ Suits for Every Occasion

When buying a suit for a child, the goal is to find something that looks neat and feels comfortable, no matter what the occasion: wedding, school photo, or family gathering. 

A good suit enables your children to feel confident while at the same time allowing them to move without difficulty. Here are a few simple suggestions for choosing the right suit.

Match the Suit to the Event

Different situations call for different styles: At formal weddings, dark suits like navy, charcoal, or grey are usually best. For outdoor parties or beach weddings, lighter colours, such as beige or pale blue, might be preferable. 

Think about the weather as well. Cotton or linen boys suits make a good choice for warm days, while wool and heavier materials are better in cooler weather. If the event is more casual, maybe you’ll want to skip the full suit and just wear a shirt with neat trousers.

Comfort Is Key

Kids like to run, sit, and play, so the suit should be comfortable and allow for movement as they do these activities. Fabrics that give a little and have soft linings are what boys of this age value most. Elastic waistbands and soft linings make them easy to wear and offer the best fit for boys trying out new sizes.

For younger boys, a simple two-piece outfit (a jacket and trousers) will do. A three-piece suit looks sharp but can be overpowering for boys in this age group; going along with them will feel all wrong. If the occasion is not too formal, then leave out either the tie or the vest.

Get the Fit Right

Before you begin shopping, measure your child for his chest/waist size and height. With the help of the sizing chart on the store website itself, don’t rely on age alone. When trying on clothes, if you’re unsure of your size, it’s better to go up one size. 

Take the suit your child will wear before the big day so that it fits him properly. He must be able to move around and bend up and down without any trouble. The suit will not be the right size for him if it pulls at his shoulders, arms, or knees. 

Add a Touch of Style with Accessories

The outfit can be perfect with a few accessories. Don’t overdo it—just one or two pieces of clothing are enough. Clip-on ties or bow ties, mostly for comfort. Dress shoes for grass or concrete are a luxury that makes all the difference.

Pocket squares made of subtly coloured, shiny silk make an attractive distraction. Belts or braces both act as breathers and have a little style to them, too. 

There’s no need to overdo it. For the most part, it is enough to keep things clean and tidy without straining anything.

Here are some of the best places to shop:

• Myer and David Jones: Great for classic, high-quality options

Let Them Look and Feel Their Best

Nothing gives a child a confidence boost more than a bespoke suit that fits like a glove. No matter whether it’s having your picture taken or going to someone else’s wedding, the proper dress makesyoum feel different.

Planning helps. Make sure you have accurate measurements, select suitable materials, and try on the clothes early, which can save you a whole bunch of last-second stress!
