Why did it take this long for John Varvatos to do a boys collection when all along it made perfect sense? Boys don’t want to look like lawyers. They want to look like rock stars! And Varvatos has the perfect compromise (you’re welcome, parents!). This collection has enough edge to give kids a playful childlike vibe while still keeping their look sharp, clean cut, and mom-approved. I love pairing tees underneath a jacket, and the graphics on these are stylish, not silly like the ones on children’s clothes can so often be. Any event your boy attends will forgive (if not appreciate) the appropriateness of a child dressing like a child. Available at John Varvatos.
