Questions

Boys' dress clothes FAQs

The questions parents ask us most. Don't see yours?

Contact us

What are boys' dress clothes?

Dressier pieces for special occasions: suit sets, blazers and sport jackets, dress shirts, dress pants, and finishing touches like ties, bow ties, and belts.

What should a dressy outfit include?

A jacket or blazer, a dress shirt, dress pants, and a tie or bow tie. A belt is optional with our adjustable-waist pants. A suit set covers the jacket and pants in one order.

How should boys' dress clothes fit?

Close to the body without pulling. Jacket sleeves should end at the wrist, and pants should just touch the top of the shoe. Our dress pants have adjustable waistbands and extra hem to fine-tune the fit.

Can boys' dress clothes be worn casually?

Yes. Pair a blazer with jeans and a tee, or wear dress pants with a sweater. See how to style a suit jacket casually.

Are dress shirts wrinkle resistant?

The Premium White Standard Button Down is wrinkle resistant, and our Standard Stretch Shirts add stretch for comfort. Check each product for details.

Can I return or exchange an order?

Domestic orders get 21-day free exchanges and free returns for store credit. Refunds to the original payment method carry a $9.99 return shipping fee. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and have tags attached, and final sale items can't be returned. See Shipping and Returns.
