Jeans and Pants

The Rock It Boy needs a pair of super cool jeans. If you can afford it, go for an incredible pair of True Religion Jeans or Rock and Republic Jeans for kids. Otherwise choose a pair of soft, worn-in jeans to go with his retro top. For a more punk rock look, go with a pair of dark denim jeans with a straight leg and a close fit.
Skater inspired long shorts work well for boys who live in warmer climates.

Kids' fashion is all about layers, and kids everywhere love hoodies, zippies and other functional and fashionable layering pieces. For the Rock It Kid, bypass the standard logo hoody and choose something that really has an edge to it. Or forget the hoody and choose a cool button-down shirt and leave it open to expose his t-shirt.
