Outfit for 4 year old boy for wedding?

We have 2 weddings this year so I need an outfit for my 4 year old ds. I hate suits on little boys so it can't be a suit, ideally I'd like a smart pair of light coloured trousers and a nice shirt.

Have searched major high street stores and can't see anything I like. Also, what should he wear on his feet? I've just bought him a new pair of trainers and was hoping to get away with these and a pair of doodles for summer as he'll need schol shoes in Sept, but he can hardly wear these to a wedding. Don't want to spend too much on the shoes.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

been searching for you northerner but haven't found anything specific worth linking to! I would tend to go with the light coloured trousers and shirt maybe with a pair of little brown sandals? You can get nice leather ones in asda quite cheap and he will hardly wear them anyway!

Have you tried Monsoon? Vertbaudet?

Monsoon do some lovely summer shirts, grandad collar style linen-y type ones which look lovely....I know they do light coloured trousers too. This sort of casual look would go well with some more casual shoes I think - I got my DS some doodles which are a sort of greeny brown baseball boot style. These would be good for the summer as well as the occasion!

We're going to a wedding in Sept for which I got my DS a jacket and trousers from debenhams (Jasper conran range) the trousers are sort of beigey and the jacket is a casual style with zip, dark brown; I'll put him in one of those white casual shirts from monsoon - sorted!

Northener.....did you get your ds an outfit?

We are off to 2 weddings this year and i have a 4yr old ds and an 18m ds.

I searched everywhere for something and in the end found a lovely outfit in OKAIDI in Mothercare. It is a french range and the clothes are a bit more expensive but lovely. I bought them beige linen shorts and a stripey shirt. The whole outfit cost £22.

Am now waiting for the Monsoon sale to see if the waistcoats are reduced as they would look cute too!!
