Buy more warm tops in Boston if needed.  New England is a better place to buy sweaters than the DMV.

Above is the outline of a refresh of my inbound freshman's wardrobe for college.  His senior year wardrobe is almost worn out - not exaggerating.  He will be walking a lot at college so hopefully won't gain weight and outgrow these things.  This core wardrobe should be good for 2 years minimum for temperate and cold seasons.[/quote]

I don’t know any boys that wear jeans. I think it is more of a west coast thing. I would wait until he gets to school before buying any jeans! My DS doesn’t even own one pair of jeans and I have never seen his friends wear them either. [/quote]

PP.  That's my list.  I live in Michigan.  My kids wear jeans year round.  They do not favor the slouchy sweatpants look.  It's their choice.  Most of their classmates do a lot of athleisure (especially sweats) but if you go to normal stores for teen boys like American Eagle and Old Navy there are huge quantities of jeans.  It's not rare.[/quote]
