Now that school is back in session, picture day is right around the corner! I know many of you are still on the hunt for a cute outfit for your little guy.  If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place.  Today, my little bestie is sharing an outfit idea that is perfect for your son’s picture day or even dress up days at school.  

Let’s start things off with this adorable gingham shirt!  

Gingham Shirt

I love the way my son looks in a button-up shirt and this gingham top from Amazon is adorable.  Not only is the gingham pattern such a fun print but it adds the right amount of oomph for that school picture day vibe.  And, because the material is made of 100% cotton poplin blend, this shirt is incredibly soft, well-made, and lightweight.  So, even though, it has long sleeve, your little guy can totally wear this now.  But you can choose to roll the sleeves up like we did for added style and versatility.  Of course, when the weather gets cooler later, he can easily throw on a cardigan or a denim jacket to stay warm.  To top it all off, this gingham shirt comes in many colors, but I went with the green and white color combo because it complimented my son’s outgoing personality.  

Shorts

While you can wear any bottom with this style of shirt, I thought I’d choose some shorts to coordinate with my son’s button-up top.  This yellow pair from the Children’s Place was a no brainer.  It adds visual interest while keeping his outfit cohesive.  Plus, they are comfy and lightweight.  And as if that wasn’t enough, it comes with an optional belt and the waistband on this short are adjustable which is great if your son is on the slimmer side and petite like mine.  #momwin I appreciate that he can easily run around and play at school without feeling restricted or constantly having to pull up his pants.  But if you want to take it down a notch, you can certainly swap out the bright colored shorts for jeans for a more muted look.  

Shoes

When it comes to shoes, my son loves easy and simple.  So, I am always looking for comfortable shoes that can be taken on and off easily.  These white ones from Target check all the boxes.  I love that they are slip-ons and don’t require any laces to be tied or straps to fuss with.  He’s had these for over a year, and they are incredibly comfortable.  Bonus: they are washable!

On a different note, it’s crazy to think that summer break is almost over and that my son’s first day of school is in five days including today.  He’s starting 4^th grade this year and it’s safe to say, I am having all the mama feels.  I personally love having my son at home with me and while I am excited about the coming school year, I can’t deny that it’s also bittersweet to see my little guy becoming not so little anymore.  Seriously, like how did that happen? #timeisathief

What grade will your little one be going into this year? Do you plan a school picture day outfit like we do?
