Style, Comfort, and FUN Back to School Outfits for Boys + GIVEAWAY OshKosh B’gosh #StyleUp4School

I don’t know about you, but my boys have a favorite type of pant.  A pant that they’d ask to wear daily if they could.  They actually have a name for them (they ask for their “comfy pants”).  Thankfully, because these pants are available in lots of different colors, and are pretty cute, they can work with a lot of different looks.  Today, I am going to show you how versatile these French Terry Pants from OshKosh B’gosh are, with some styling tips and a look at how they have taken us from the end of summer all the way through back to school.  It’s not always easy to find kids fashion that is versatile, comfortable, and stylish, but OshKosh has my boys totally covered for back to school this year, from head to toe!  I am also sharing a special discount code and giveaway… so read on!

Before I get into the OshKosh looks we styled, I wanted to let you know that through October 2, 2017, use coupon code: OKGB3352 to get 20% off your OshKosh purchase of $40 or more, online or in store (here’s the store locator so you can find an OshKosh near you)!

As if you need another reason to give OshKosh a visit for your back to school shopping, let me tell you about the B’gosh Jeanius campaign.  The campaign as an annual effort to support local communities with donated clothing and school supply needs.  Partnering with DonorsChoose.org and Delivering Good, OshKosh Moms, families and friends have collected over $1.1 million and distributed more than 66,000 articles of clothing to impact the lives of over 260,000 students.  You can join the effort by donating a new pair of jeans in-store or making a cash contribution in-store or online at oshkosh.com/bgoshjeanius through September 18, 2017.  Then, share your “shop to give style” on social media using #BgoshJeanius.

Last, but not least: to celebrate back to school and fabulous kids style, I am giving away a $50 OshKosh B’gosh gift card!  To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this blog post by 5:00 pm central next Wednesday, September 6, 2017.  Make sure your email address is included in your comment profile so I can contact you if you won!

Here is some back to school style inspo for your little ones.  S was an adorable model, if I don’t say so myself ;).

Fab Everyday Style Tip: Invest in a few pairs of solid color pants that will coordinate with a number of different outfits.  It makes mixing and matching easier, and provides more outfit combination options.  Bonus if they are comfortable and kid-friendly like these French Terry Pants that my boys live in. 

Dog Days of Summer
OshKosh helped us to transition to the end of summer on our recent vacation with this layered look that included a plaid button-front shirt, a Space Ace ringer tee, our favorite comfy pants, and OshKosh sneakers. 

Fab Everyday Style Tip: By adding a layering piece (like this plaid button-front shirt) to your little one’s wardrobe, you can multiply the outfit combination options.  This plaid shirt has blue and yellow tones that would layer with any shirts that contain either of those colors.  It can also be worn on it’s own for a nicer look, or with the sleeves rolled for a more casual fall look. 

Bus Stop Street Style
Don’t forget to pick up a few comfortable long-sleeved shirts as well for those days when the weather starts chilling down.  S chose this glow-in-the-dark Space Tech long-sleeve tee, which also happen to go well with his comfy pants. 

Fab Everyday Shopping Tip: To avoid your kids feeling like they are “forced” to wear something (trust me, it makes mornings easier when you are not arguing over outfit selection), get the kids involved in picking their clothes while shopping.  S has been really into space and astronauts, so I let him weigh in on the themes for graphic tees for back to school shopping.  OshKosh has all sorts of cute themes, including plenty in the space theme!

Catch You at Recess
Who doesn’t love emojis?  S just had to have this BE YOU tee when he saw it.  It’s a perfect casual tee for a rough and tumble kid.

Fab Everyday Style Tip: While I am sometimes willing to sacrifice function for style (I admit it), that is not practical for kids.fashion.  Choose clothes that they can be kids in… meaning comfortable clothing that allow them to move and get dirty! 

School Dayz
When you are just starting kindergarten, you want your clothes to help express your personality when meeting new friends.  This glow-in-the-dark Space Tour tee has a lot of personality!  Bonus – it’s also comfortable and versatile. 

Fab Everyday Style Tip: Don’t forget that navy blue is a neutral.  Give yourself more mix and match outfit options with a few navy blue pieces.

Don’t forget you can save at OshKosh between now and October 2, 2017 with coupon code: OKGB3352, and remember to comment on this blog post by 5:00 pm central next Wednesday, September 6, 2017 for a chance to win a $50 OshKosh B’gosh gift card!
