A smart two-piece boys outfit featuring a long sleeve shirt with embroidered glasses detail and red bow tie, paired with grey striped elasticated trousers. Available in four shirt colours for boys aged 1 to 5 years.
Getting a young boy to look smart without making him uncomfortable is one of the perennial challenges of children’s fashion. This two-piece outfit solves it neatly. The long sleeve shirt has the collar, buttons and pocket detail of a proper smart shirt, but it is made from a soft cotton and polyester blend that feels nothing like a stiff formal piece. The grey striped trousers have an elasticated waistband, so there is no fussing with belts, zips or buttons at the waist.
The red bow tie is already attached at the collar, which means no separate accessories to keep track of on a busy day out. Add in the embroidered glasses motif on the chest pocket and you have an outfit that manages to look genuinely dapper while still being completely appropriate and comfortable for a toddler or young boy.

About This Outfit
The shirt is the star of this set. It has a clean, well-structured collar that sits properly without needing to be fussed over, and the front button placket includes a polka dot contrast lining detail on the inside of the collar that adds a subtle, considered touch. The chest pocket is embroidered with a glasses motif that gives the shirt its personality, making it feel like a proper outfit rather than just a basic shirt and trousers.
The red bow tie sits at the collar and is already attached, so you get the full smart look without having to tie or clip anything separately. It is the kind of detail that tends to get a reaction from family members at gatherings and photographs particularly well against both the white and coloured shirt versions.
The grey striped trousers are designed to be comfortable first. The elasticated waistband means they are easy to get on and off, which matters a great deal when you are dressing a toddler at speed. The relaxed fit and cuffed ankles give them a slightly casual, contemporary feel that keeps the outfit from looking too stiff or formal. Small printed letter details on the leg add a modern finishing touch without being distracting.
The shirt is available in four colour options while the trousers remain the same grey stripe across all versions, which makes mixing and coordinating straightforward.

Available Shirt Colours
The shirt is available in four colour options. The grey striped trousers and red bow tie remain consistent across all colour versions, so whichever shirt you choose the complete outfit works as a coordinated set. Select your preferred colour when adding to your basket.
Perfect For
The white shirt version is the most versatile for formal occasions like christenings, weddings and school photos, where a clean, classic smart look is expected. The green, pink and yellow versions work beautifully for birthday parties, spring outings and family gatherings where a slightly brighter, more playful look fits the mood. All four versions photograph extremely well.
Size Guide
This outfit is available in four sizes covering boys from age 1 to 5 years. Children’s clothing sizes can vary between brands, so always measure your child before ordering rather than going by age alone. For a step-by-step guide on how to take accurate measurements, visit our page on how to measure children for clothes.
| Size (Age) | Shirt Length (cm) | Bust (cm) | Pant Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 years | 34 | 52 | 49 |
| 2-3 years | 36 | 54 | 51 |
| 3-4 years | 38 | 56 | 53 |
| 4-5 years | 40 | 58 | 55 |
If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit with room to move. You can also refer to our boys clothing size guide for broader sizing guidance across our range.
How to Style This Outfit
Shoes: Smart leather shoes or loafers in black or brown complete the gentleman look for formal occasions. For more casual events, clean white trainers or simple canvas shoes work well with all four shirt colour options.
Layering: For cooler spring or autumn days, a navy or grey zip-up hoodie or a lightweight jacket worn over the shirt keeps him warm between indoor and outdoor moments without undoing the smart look. Browse our boys lightweight rain jacket for a practical layering option.
Photography tip: The white shirt version photographs particularly cleanly against both indoor and outdoor backdrops. If you are planning a photoshoot, a neutral or green outdoor setting brings out the embroidered glasses detail well. The coloured shirt versions add warmth and personality in natural light settings.
Accessories: The bow tie is already included and attached, so no additional accessories are needed. If you want to add something, a simple flat cap or a pair of smart socks in a contrasting colour can add a finishing touch without competing with the outfit’s own detailing.
Care Instructions
To keep the embroidery and fabric in the best condition:
The embroidered glasses detail on the shirt pocket is best preserved by hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag on a cold setting. Hang to air dry rather than tumble drying to keep the shirt’s shape and prevent the bow tie from losing its form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this outfit set?
The set includes two pieces: a long sleeve shirt and a pair of grey striped trousers. The red bow tie is attached to the collar of the shirt and is included as part of the outfit. No additional items are needed to complete the look.
What shirt colours are available?
The shirt is available in four colour options: white, green, pink, and yellow. The grey striped trousers and red bow tie remain the same across all versions. Simply select your preferred shirt colour when adding to your basket.
What ages does this outfit fit?
The outfit is available in four sizes: age 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 years. We always recommend measuring your child and comparing to the size chart above rather than ordering by age alone, as sizing can vary. If your child is between sizes, we suggest ordering the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Is the bow tie removable?
The red bow tie is attached to the collar of the shirt. It is not designed to be removed. This makes it easy to dress your child quickly without needing to clip or tie anything separately, and it ensures the bow tie stays in place throughout the day.
Are the trousers comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes. The trousers have an elasticated waistband which means there is no zip, button or belt at the waist. This makes them easy to put on and take off and very comfortable for active young children. The relaxed fit and soft fabric mean they are practical for a full day of wearing at parties, gatherings or outings.
What is the outfit made from?
The outfit is made from a cotton and polyester blend. This combination gives the fabric a soft feel while also making it durable and easy to care for. The cotton element keeps it breathable and comfortable for young children to wear for extended periods.
Is this outfit suitable for a wedding or christening?
Yes, particularly the white shirt version, which has a clean and classic smart look that works well for formal occasions like weddings, christenings and naming ceremonies. The coloured shirt versions are better suited to birthday parties, family gatherings and casual smart occasions. All versions are complete outfits that require no additional accessories.
How do I wash this outfit?
Hand washing is recommended to protect the embroidered detail on the shirt pocket. If using a machine, place the shirt in a mesh laundry bag and use a cold, delicate cycle. Do not bleach. Air dry on a hanger to maintain the shirt’s shape. The trousers can be washed in the same way.
