[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Not worried about fitting in or passing as French. Just don’t want to show up for lunch and museums with great aunt with kids in adidas shorts and crocs and come off as totally… dare I say it… gauche. These kids don’t even own jeans after years of buying them just to sit in drawers so I’m just trying to figure out what I need to buy and to pack.[/quote]

I’m a boy mom whose kids hate jeans. Your boys will be fine in black or dark gray joggers. I promise. When sightseeing they should layer a shortsleeved tee with a pullover. A quarter zip looks dressier than a hoodie, but the reality is a hoodie might be more practical if it’s chilly or raining. Either is fine. Just aim for neutral colors.

If you are meeting relatives for a meal, dress up. My boys would wear khakis with a button down and quarter zip or sweater.

Do your boys have decent coats? If not, invest there.

Nice sneakers are fine and make sense. I buy my kids new sneakers before big trips and make sure they break them in at least two or three weeks before we fly. My kids also have leather shoes to wear with khakis. [/quote]
