Why is it that stores will have dress clothes for all ages but toddlers boys?
I have a three-year-old boys, and I hit every store in town trying to find dress clothes for church.
Every store I hit had dress clothes and shoes for infant girls and boys, toddler girls, older boys and girls, and adults of both genders.
Eventually, I found one dress outfit, but then I wasn’t able to find dress shoes.
What gives? Do they think toddler boys don’t need clothes? It’s highly likely they need them more than any other age group.
Anyone else noticed this?
I have had the same problem for about 2 year now. It does get really old really quick. Trying to find clothes for my 3 and 4 year old boys can be a chore!
The best places I have found to find them clothes are the Outlet stores. Not only do they have lots of toddler boys’ clothes, there is an actual variety of colors and styles. My personal favorites are the Osh Kosh outlet and the Old Navy outlet.
I am not sure why most places have such a limited selection of boys clothes, but I have actually asked on certain occasions and been told that the "don’t sell as well as girls clothes." I wonder why?? The girls clothes sell better because there are more of them to choose from.
My only advice is to find a store or two that has a good assortment of boys clothes and only shop there. Fortunately, it does get better when they get older.
just go to the mall. they have ots of stores to choose from
I had the same problem with dress shoes. Sometime you have to shop in ethnic minority independent stores.
Hispanics in Arizona tend to dress up toddler boys for church, so do some Italians in New Jersey. So go to Little Italy or something. (Chinatown has toddler boy dress clothes too, but it’s not usually the western style you take to church)
But toddler boys tend to do "dirty stuff" like play in the mud, while some girls get locked inside with dolls. Or that’s what a lot of designers think.
