Little boys have a lot less choices than little girls when it comes to the fashion department. Just walk into any children’s store in Singapore, and you’ll soon realize that the variety of girl’s dresses, shoes, bags and accessories far outweighs the paltry few racks of boys’ clothes. However, this doesn’t mean that your boys have to live with a downsized or unattractive wardrobe. There is a fair amount of boutiques and online stores that cater increasingly for fashionable little men.

Regular daily wear is usually quite easily found, but when it comes to finding a suit for Junior to wear for a special event, it might be a little more tricky. We line up online and offline places for you to consider.

H&M

To find pocket-friendly styles suitable for our humid weather, H&M’s range of snazzy shirts, pants, jackets and even cute straw fedora hats is where you should begin your search.

Camouflage Kids
