Smart Casual for 10 year old

[Nowtasstrangeasfolk]

My 10 year old ds, needs to be dressed smart casual this weekend.

He's got a pair of beige chinos (only trousers that fit other than jeans), what type of shirt/top can I put with this that doesn't look like he's forgotten to wear a tie, and still makes him look like a boy, not trying to look like a man?

Also what colour shoes (only has trainers that fit so need to buy him some) go with light beige chinos?

TIA

I think a check shirt open over a t-shirt is a good option. There's a nod to smartness, but he'll be comfy and can take the shirt off if he likes.

Some converse-style trainers in navy will go with anything.

Or a striped shirt.

It's what my boys usually wear when required to get out of their pjs smarten up a bit.

Trainers not allowed, or even anything hinting to being trainers. But like the shirt over t-shirt idea.

button down shirt
plimsolls or boat shoes?

Would something like a Timberland or Caterpillar boot be acceptable? Or a biker style boot?

Thanks for those links faux fox. Think I need to get myself down to next pronto.

He doesn't like boots, but think those plimsolls from next look smart enough (esp for first wearing ) but casual for him to wear at other times.
