Whether you're planning for a spring wedding, party, Easter, or just looking for a sleeker option for regular wear, you'll find a lot to love in this season's light offerings.
Styles range from traditional oxfords to fresh sneakers, which look fresh when paired with dress clothes.
When dressing for special events, remember to coordinate your boy's look with other family members' outfits for great photos. To get the most bang for your buck, be sure to keep your kid's personal style in mind, and don't underestimate the comfort factor. Shoes should be purchased to fit exactly, not to grow into.
