We got a great email from a reader who brought up a common problem: finding a cute, boutique-look outfit that is also affordable for a boy for the holidays. Sure, it’s easy to find something darling, but who wants to spend $100 on an outfit a kid will wear once? Not us! And, as cute as boy clothes are sometimes the selection just isn’t the same as it is for girls which adds to the challenge. So we’re hoping to help you mom of baby boys. We’ve rounded up some cute outfits for less than $40.
I die from the cuteness that is this Shirt with applique Christmas Stripes Tie and Suspenders. Pair this with cords from your tot’s drawer or jeans for a less formal occasion and you’ve got a one of a kind holiday outfit sure to please. At least it pleases me so please buy this shirt and send me pictures of your kid so I can giggle. Toddler Shirt is $24, Onesie is $20 from BK Chic Boutique.
Mud Pie has a lot of boutique-look outfits without the steep boutique price. The look is traditional holiday and you’ll get the cute pictures you’re looking for without spending a bundle. The 3 piece Reindeer Set is great for Baby’s First Christmas and includes a shirt, pants and socks. Only available size 0 -6 Months, $24.99.
The Santa Longalls are just as cute as can be. I mean, really stinking cute! The red gingham fabric is accented with a handmade plush faux patent leather Santa. Ha. Again, this is just for babies in size 0 – 6 Months, for $31.
The Embroidered Tree Overalls are available in size 0 – 6 Months through 3T for $36. For $10 extra you can have them personalized with your tot’s initials. The overalls are traditional red corduroy with green embroidered trees.
Crazy 8 offers a little less formal take on the holidays with the adorable Gingerbread Boy outfit. The Onesie and Stripe Knit Pants are 12.95 each, available in size 0 – 6 Months through 18 – 24 Months. (Use codeC8BUDDY to save 25% off your entire order through November 13.)
And for another faux-tie look, we really dig the Merry Little Gent collection. The Tie V-Neck Sweater is $16.99, the Oxford Shirt is $11.99 and the oh-so-unnecessary-but-irresistable Herringbone Cap is $7.99. The collection is available in sizes 3 – 6 Months through 5. (Use codeC8BUDDY to save 25% off your entire order through November 13.)
Hope this has helped a little bit, Molly. Happy shopping!

November 13, 2011Great post!! I think I might have to get that gingerbread onesie set! And maybe the herringbone hat, just for fun.
Thanks, Nicole! I love that gingerbread outfit. And really the hat is just perfection.

November 14, 2011It is hard to get boutique-look for less, though I have pretty good luck at Target I must admit. I also check Zulily often. But look at this little polar bear overall set I got from Target for $12 the other day: http://www.target.com/p/Circo-Newborn-Boys-Overall-Set-Grey/-/A-13721260#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbutton
The only bummer is it only goes up to 9 months (what’s with that?).
