I need to find non-cheesy/snooker player outfit for my ds (2) to wear to a wedding.

[milkysallgone]

Any ideas what would look very smart (but neither of the above), is reasonably priced and where I can find it.

Cheers

to be clear, that should read non snooker playerish!

A sailor suit? Mega cute.

lovely things in jojomamanbebe I love these though would do plain t-shirt under not shirt

Or lovely beige linen shorts (Next usually have) and a short sleeved shirt?

It helps that we're Scottish so my ds generally wears a kilt.

I got a lovely beige linen suit from Next on Ebay - looked gorgeous with a white linen shirt. It was like this one

Long shorts in navy or grey (tweed/thick flannel if winter, cotton drill if warmer) with shirt and jumper/tank top. Very cute and can all be worn again separately. JJMMBB is a good place to find such things, or try John Lewis and Monsoon or look up those brands on ebay.

h a ha hilarious...i thought it was a themed wedding and you had to dress like a chessy snooker player...and i was a bit imaging velvet waistcoats and fags and lots of product in one's hair...lol lol

sorry i cant help!

Thanks all, these are giving me some great inspiration. Love the dungarees but perhaps a little too informal.

Lmao beans!!

OOh am liking the shirt/jumper/shorts combo idea. The wedding is 4th April so I need to think fast!

I was loving the idea of a snooker players costume for your DS. Well if you are going to have a misspent youth, you can't start too early.

what season?
is he long haired and boho? short and smart? blonde and blue eyed? dark and handsome?

Oh beans - my darling little boy was all long haired, floppy boho until fecking dh came along and butchered his hair when I was out

Ooooh - perfect. Thanks. Was going to post the same question as the OP!! Just ordered in indigo :-)

at your DH.

DS is blond floppy haired - DH has declared a ban on haircuts for him until after our summer holiday. He wants a little boho beachcomber!

oh yes and the best bit? He gave him a (albeit small) mullet!

I always get DS's wedding/posh do outfits from Monsoon. They have linen suits so they look smart but a bit cool. They have them with waistcoats too. Team with a funky bright shirt......

This

with this

this

and this?

DS then usually wears the waistcoat with a shirt and jeans to parties or the shirt and jacket or the shirt and kecks.....

i think ...and am going to look for (but i am rubbish at this), a round neck cotton jumper,long shorts,cute socks(poss striped if dull enough) and sandals. i love boys in t bars.

don't hold your breath!

(we recently had to cut ds hair...he looks better for it!)

Last summer I dressed my boys in black pinstripe suits from BHS with t shirts underneath and black converse for a wedding. They looked cute but cool.
Have a quick look on my profile. Ds2 had a black longsleeve tshirt with a robot on.
It worked well because once the formal bit was over they whipped off their jackets and were casual.

word of warning on the linen suits....
my nephews had beautiful expensive linen suits on. Within 1/2 hour they were really crumpled and covered in grass stains from rolling on the grass!

I recommend www.cyrillus.com

Your ds looks so cool in ingles. Not sure ds at his age could pull that sort of thing off though.

cute. i take it all back about startrite blimmin sandals! converse is the wa y to go!

sorry i cannot continue to promise you a rubbish search... but i have to log off now

Yup converse, think scrummy David Tennant as Dr Who. Office have loads of lovely colours in at the moment.

Milky, I've got an outfit from Monsoon that my son wore to his baptism. Trousers (navy cord), shirt (grandad-style collar) and grey cable knit tank-top. he only wore them once and won't again. I you're interested I'll e-mail you a photo tomorrow and check out sizes. The trousers are 2-3 years. Not sure about others but can check tomorrow.

He's 2. Go for the dungarees, they're super cute! He can wear suits for the rest of his life!
