could you please help my son to dress well?

My lovely 16 year old has the curse of being the boy that all the girls' mothers want to be their daughter's boyfriend. He is the nice boy!

I know he wants to try to get a girlfriend.

My husband and I both dress badly. So my son does too. This is the first time he has become interested in clothes.

He is skinny, about 5 ft 8/9, with long legs and slim shoulders. He has had poor posture but is working to correct it. Everyone likes him.

He said he'd like some help with his wardrobe for 6th form ("smart-casual")

I wondered where well-dressed 16 year old boys shop? It doesn't need to be designer or anything. And if anyone has tips on how he can keep his clothes looking good and suiting him (are there good sites for teenage males trying to learn this stuff?).

Thank you oh well dressed ones! or mothers of well dressed ones!

My DDs bf is 17, him and his friends wear decent jeans, jersey longish shorts, sports brand tshirts, eg Nike, Addidas, North Face, Vans.
Get decent trainers, (not chunky white ones) Vans and Nikes are still popular around my way.
Go to JD Sports and kit him out.
None of them would be seen dead in chinos and polo shirts. They're not 60 yr olds off to golf.
Barbers not hairdressers.

Look at the website of the sixth form and see what is "uniform" for ideas.

"None of them would be seen dead in chinos and polo shirts. They're not 60 yr olds off to golf."

round here my husband's friends gently mock him about his chinos and checked shirts. so that's a no go here too.

thanks for that list and for the cool name "synecdoche"

How have you got on with your venture?

Just bare drip XX gotta respect it
