From the article: Fall for Boys: Back to School Trends --Boys' Clothes
Boys' clothes are getting cooler all the time, but is it enough? Moms of boys are always writing to me complaining that boys' clothes tend to be less interesting than girls' clothes. Do you agree? Share Your Opinion
I AGREE!
- I agree! I have a 6 year old little boy and I care about what he wears. I just don't throw cloths on him. It is hard to find nice things. I spend hours searching on line. I refuse to stoop to the level of basic kakis and a graphic tee!!!!!

- You can find 'non nerdy' clothes that make boys look like rappers, though guys, or have at least a screaming logo on them everywhere. T shirts with spiders, abstract designs or any so called fashionable motif in orange or olive green are easy to find at target. They might be cool and hip, but according to the esthetic sense of most women they are not beautiful. I guess the question is more aimed at those mothers who would like for our sons to look not as much hip, but rather handsome. I do disagree with Suzanne though in the availability of these clothing. I looked at Dapper Lads myself yesterday for the very first time. Aside from the clearance sections it is rather hard to see myself affording these clothes outside of special occasions. I do not just want my son to wear a suit for christmas, I want him to wear one on sundays (or at least a shirt and tie). I want him to to look cute and handsome and not overdressed when going to the store, or playing in the sandpit.

hard to find clothing for children
- I wish the fashion industry and everyone else would stop trying to push adult styles and trends onto children. I don't wan't my young innocent children to look like sullen teenagers. They don't need to look 'cool' or ' edgy' . There is a sweetness and innocence that is unique to childhood. mother, I'd like to see that reflected in their clothing. I'm all for cute clothes but I don't want my children wearing clothes more appropriate to a stripper off duty or a motorcycle or urban gang.

Boys clothes not trendy
- I agree. There is very little change in the boys' fashions for 2009/10. Actually the only thing I can find new are some of the graphics on the t-shirts.

irritated annie
- i am a mum who is at the end of her tether trying to find clothes that are as nice as the clothes that my sister can buy for her daughter. i love my niece but i think it would be nice once in a while if someone said that my sons look cute, or "where did you get that from its gorgeous", instead of it always being about the little pink dresses and shoes that my niece wears.i have the money to spend, but first i'd have to find something other than just the same old boring blue. i would also like to say that i have also had enough of these sneaky advertisements(catalogues,internet sites) that offer a so-called "cool range of boys clothes" when in fact what they should say is "come look at our range of 8 blueish, greyishy, cream, greeny outfits that will have to do for boys", then you can look at a range of about 500 outfits for girls. and dont even get me started on shoes (aaaahhhhhhrrrggghhhhh).....

boys clothing IMPOSSIBLE to find
- I have two boys, 5 and 1, I find it sometimes IMPOSSIBLE to find them clothes. I just went out recently to find the some cute outfits for a wedding and found that 2 very popular kids clothing stores did not even carry boys semi casual clothing, but had a million little sundresses for girls!

Fashionable clothes for boys ?
- It's definitely harder to find fashionable clothes for boys unless they don't mind wearing skirts, dresses, spaghetti tops.....the list goes on........

Boys do have more choices NOW!
- I must disagree more and more manufacturers are creating great clothing choices for boys. They are available from a growing number of clothing for boys ONLY online retailers such as The Boy's Store, Dapper Lads, Dogwood USA (manufacturer with online store) and more ...
