Where can I buy brightly coloured clothes for DS (3 yo)?

I like him to look like a little boy, and not to wear clothes that I think older boys or even teenge boys would be wearing. And I like him to wear colours like red, rather than sludge colours or shades of blue and brown all the time.

At the moment, I get his things in Boots, Baby Boden (he is in the oldest size 3-4 now), or M&S (for the odd thing), BlueZoo in Debenhams (again, for the odd thing) but by far the most of his things from JoJo Maman Bebe. I like appliques (rather than transfers) and knits and definitely no slogans. And yes, I am quite aware that I am a fussy so and so!

I don't really want to spend £££ (High Street prices are fine), and this is the kind of thing I typically like:

www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/pp+boys-tops-and+t-shirts - all of the bottom row of tops

www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/pp+boys-jumpers-and+sweatshirts - the helicopter tank top and the stripey tank top next to it in red

Some good suggestions here, thanks very much. I really like Du Pareil au Meme, which I'd never heard of before. And the (very expensive!) coats in Polarn o Pyret are just lovely.

Maybe some shops haven't brought out their Autumn/Winter stock yet - it is only August after all. I can usually buy a few things for DS in Monsoon (they are getting really pricey though - £32 for the Piccadilly cardi is a lot, beautiful though it is), but they don't have much on the website.

I hadn't remembered about John Lewis, which is odd, as I absolutely loved their baby boys things (wghich stops at 2-3 years) and used to buy loads of stuff for DS there. I've added a stripey jumper to my basket, so thanks for the reminder.

And there are some really nice sweaters in Joules too, so thanks for the sugegstion. Again, I'm going to have to wait for a sale (fingers crossed that they will have a good range of sizes then) as £38 for a sweater is hell of a lot for a kid especially as I need to buy lots as I can't organise myself to do washing as frequently as I should.

Thanks so much for taking the time to recommend.
