[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your 17 year old isn’t a child anymore, they should be moving away from sweats and t shirts in public. Boston dress is also different from DC dress- less casual overall.[/quote]

I also told my kid starting at 16 that  khaki shorts were not considered “dressy” anymore. If it’s a function where DH wouldn’t think it was appropriate for him to wear jeans or shorts then DS couldn’t either. For us, this was church or a family dinner in nicer restaurant where it was fine to wear shorts as a 10year old. Granted, at 6-2, my teen son looked like a grown man  :)

He had a pair of tan/khaki pants and a pair of gray dressier pants that he pair with  a polo style shirt or a plaid button-up or quarter zip sweater. The hardest thing was shoes, since it’s hard to keep shoes on hand  that only wears  1-2x per year for fast-growing feet. He ended up wearing white Nike Air Force 1s once; but now that his feel have pretty much stop growing  he has a pair of brown leather sneakers that works as “dressy”. He also has a navy suit he wore once for a wedding in 2019. He’s work the jacket as a sport coat with the khaki or gray pants a couple of times since.[/quote]
