Whether it's a pair of pint-size shades or a button-down shirt that'll actually stay tucked in (seriously!), our top 10 picks are sure to add some panache to your best boy's look.

A Pair of Lined Jeans

The feel of a rugged denim waistband can be uncomfortable against a little belly. BabyGap comes to the rescue with its Knit-Waist Original Fit Jeans ($35) for toddlers and kids ages 12 months to 5 years. The soft elastic waistband is supercomfy, but the cool blue-jean look is still the same.

Not-So-Sloppy Sweats

Not-So-Sloppy Sweats

Having a playsuit that's comfortable but pulled together is a must (in fact, we're such strong believers in it that we did an entire story on the topic). For little tots, check out Mini Boden's Essential Jersey Pants ($18) and Fun Printed Logo Tee ($18) — a winning combo!

A Shawl Collar Sweatshirt

A Shawl Collar Sweatshirt

It's so easy to dress up a sweatshirt with a special detail like a shawl collar ($30, originally $55) or toggle. Combine the two, and you've got one seriously pulled-together pullover!

An All-Weather Jacket

Patagonia's Baby Down Sweater ($99) is so lightweight, you won't believe that it's enough to keep your kiddo warm. But with goose-down insulation, it offers enough coziness for chilly February afternoons, sans the bulk of most Winter jackets.

Durable Rain Boots

Durable Rain Boots

A pair of sturdy rain boots ($50) means you won't have to worry about wet feet on your next rainy day. Pair 'em with a pair of heavy-duty socks and these will do double duty as snow boots.

Sneakers That Stay On

Sneakers That Stay On

Before he learns to tie his own shoelaces, shoes that will actually stay on his little feet are essential. New Balance's classic 990 Sneakers ($45-$60) look cute and are sure to stay put, even on your active little man.

A Mom-Approved Graphic Tee

Shirts with characters and sayings on them may be a kiddie favorite but can make mama groan. J.Crew's The Dude Baseball Tee ($37) should satisfy all parties involved.

A Pair of Kid-Proof Shades

A Pair of Kid-Proof Shades

Why are Babiators ($20) the best? Bend them, twist them, throw them on the ground — they'll survive through it all. And on the off chance that they do some serious destruction, Babiators have a one-year warranty against loss or breakage.

Soft Cotton PJs

Soft Cotton PJs

BabyGap has a constantly evolving lineup of the cutest PJ sets ($27). We're loving this graphic double-decker bus print.

A Button-Down Bodysuit

A Button-Down Bodysuit

If you've got a baby or toddler, you know that keeping his roly-poly body tucked and together is a challenge. Andy & Evan makes it easier with its well-designed signature Shirtzies ($37, originally $46) that snap at the crotch like diapers. No more untucked tops on this guy!
