How to Make Easter Outfits for Boys

Forget the tux: pick out a festive Easter outfit.

Close your eyes and picture the typical signs of Easter: pastel colors, eggs, chicks, baskets brimming with candy, bunnies and people in their Easter finery. A girl can easily slip into a pastel skirt or a floral dress, and pop an Easter bonnet on her head. It can be more challenging for a boy to pick out a holiday outfit. However, a boy can step out in a festive Easter outfit with some basic wardrobe pieces and a little creativity.

Instructions

1. Determine the formality of the Easter event you are attending. The boy's Easter outfit should suit the occasion. For example, a formal church gathering calls for dress slacks, a button-down shirt and tie. However, casual attire suits a low-key family luncheon.

2. Lay out a pair of slacks. Khaki slacks can easily be dressed up or down to fit the occasion. For a less formal affair, khaki cargo pants are comfortable and more casual but still look nice.

3. Select a pale-colored shirt. For a laid-back Easter celebration, a light polo or a plaid button-up shirt with some pastels, such as baby blue and sage green, looks sharp and springlike. For a more formal event, select a white or pastel dress shirt.

4. Add another layer. In regions where the temperature fluctuates, it is smart to dress in layers. A sweater in fun spring colors, such as salmon or bright blue, provides a casual way to keep warm. A blazer is a more formal yet dapper choice in cooler weather.

5. Accessorize. If you are attending church or another more formal Easter get- together, the boy may want to wear a tie. Embrace the look of Easter by selecting a tie that features colors such as coral, melon, mint green, and sky blue.

6. Pick out shoes and a belt. These items should be coordinated. For example, pair brown shoes with a brown belt.
