With the holidays fast approaching, we thought it\u2019d be fun to show a few inspiring images of boy outfits, along with fabric and pattern suggestions too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Plaid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sew a Sketchbook Shirt<\/a> in a great red and green flannel or a classic blue or white shirting for a comfy but classic layering piece. \u00a0Check out these real examples – plaid flannel by Kim MacMillan<\/a>, white by Spool Sewing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Vest<\/p>\n

Debenhams<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a warmer climate, pair the Sketchbook Shirt + Shorts<\/a> with the Art Museum Vest<\/a> in a solid color linen or twill and you\u2019ve got yourself a dapper little outfit, just like this one from mcholley1<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Stylish\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colorblock the Field Trip Raglan<\/a> in a heavy interlock or felted adult sweaters (go up a size for layering) and throw it over a Sketchbook Shirt<\/a> with some brightly colored\u00a0Art Museum Trousers<\/a>\u00a0or After School Pants<\/a> for a modern, casual look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

teensy tots<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or go classically formal with a red tartan Art Museum Vest + Trousers<\/a> (especially dapper with a white shirt and tie underneath!). \u00a0The Art Museum pattern would be great in a more casual corduroy or herringbone flannel as well, as shown over at Better off Thread<\/a>\u00a0and Pippi1997<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some fabric suggestions found over at Robert Kaufman Fabrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For shirts:<\/p>\n

\"Fabrics\"<\/p>\n

house of wales plaid<\/a> | white oxford<\/a> | blue oxford<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For vests\/trousers:<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

black yarn dyed essex linen\/cotton<\/a> | green velveteen<\/a> | red 21-wale corduroy<\/a> |\u00a0shetland herringbone flannel<\/a><\/p>\n
