It is a truth of parenthood. After your child arrives, going out to a nice restaurant becomes a rare treat. Being new to Seattle, we have not yet found a sitter and all of our family live in other states. Having a night out meant one thing – we had to make a gentleman out of our mud covered boy.
I was looking through the latest Chasing Fireflies catalog and saw that they had a few suits for little boys. But let’s face it, most children will balk at the thought of wearing a stuffy suit. If I was going to dress up my son, he needed something hip that exuded the swagger of James Bond.
The boys mod suit from Chasing Fireflies had that perfect bit of coolness to make it fun for my kid to dress up. To keep things fun, I paired it with the slim, monkey business tie which has a pattern of silly monkey faces (my son loved this). To finish the look, and to bring in a little red for Valentines Day, I added some kids low-top Chuck Taylors. Magically, my little pig pen looked like a hip little man in his fancy new clothes.
There’s one thing I always have to say about clothes from Chasing Fireflies – they are exceptionally well made. The suit felt like it was constructed from quality materials, which made me confident that it could withstand my son’s worst. And as you would expect, my son was so excited about dessert that he got chocolate all over his white dress shirt. Fortunately, his entire outfit was machine washable.
The boys mod suit is a great look from Chasing Fireflies. The two piece outfit comes with a lined jacket that has notched lapels, a back vent, and pockets inside and out. The trousers are made for growing boys with an adjustable back-elastic waistband.
I helped my son look hip with his monkey tie and Chuck Taylors, but you could also add a funky t-shirt underneath or pair the jacket with jeans. There is a lot that you can do with this hip suit to make your child look stylish for any occasion.
Chasing Fireflies has some great looks for that special night out. Instead of getting a sitter, spend your money on a new outfit for your child and have a fun night together.
