Cool and Affordable Back-to-School Clothes for Boys

 


Back to school was always an exciting time growing up. My mom would take my brother and I out to buy us new outfits, back packs, markers and notebooks in August to prep us for the months ahead. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to show off my new threads on the first day, but September is notoriously warm as well and I had to decide if I was going to sweat all day in my fall digs or leave them for another day. I know I’m not the only one who had the same experience! 

Now that I’m an experienced shopper for my own kids, I try to pick items that they will look fresh in at the start of the school year but can do double duty in cooler months as well. This week, I stopped into Giant Tiger to beat the crowds at the end of the month and get the kids stocked up.

Giant Tiger prides itself on providing quality items at a great value and the new kids wear brands are right on target! My boys wear tees all year long, they stand alone in the summer and get layered under hoodies in the cooler months. I knew my boys would go crazy for this bright orange Disney tee featuring their favourite Star Wars character BB-8. I often skip licensed items because of the extra cost, but I was pleasantly surprised to see this one at just $7.97! Both mom and the boys are very happy!

I also selected a nice blue active shirt from the acx line, can you tell I love the boys in bright colours? Not only are they fresh and colourful, but they are easy to spot in a crowd and I love that! The skate boarding design was a hit with the boys, plus it’s just soooooo soft. It’s an activewear material that’s got a bit of stretch and designed to wick away moisture.  My boys are super sporty and we just love this material for when they are out working up a sweat, like at soccer practice. Guess how much it was? No really just try to guess? It was a total steal to find it on sale for just $4 from an already affordable $6!

The grey pants I purchased are pretty darn cool because they are zip offs. I loved the look on my son’s face when I unzipped his pants and pulled off the bottom half while he was wearing them, he was shocked!! These easily go from summer into fall with the boys and he can decide each time whether he wants them as shorts or pants. The steel grey colour is a favourite of mine because it’s a neutral that goes with everything, but looks super trendy too. It’s a knock out with that orange! The double duty pants/shorts were a great price at $8.

Giant Tiger has some brand new kids lines coming out just in time for back-to-school shopping this year. They were developed with both kids and parents in mind, and offer durability with on-trend style, all at an affordable price. For the younger kids sized 2T-6X, you can shop the adorably named Monkey Bars line. You’ll find fun and versatile pieces in clothing, footwear, sleep wear, outwear and accessories. 

For the older boys sized 7-14, Giant Tiger is bringing the cool in the new Survival Gear line. The pieces are meant to be layered and include elements such as cargo pockets and graffiti art. The clothes will be able to take your boys right from school to the skate park at a price that won’t stretch your wallet. 

Watch for these new lines when you head out to do your own back-to-school shopping this year. Be sure to also follow along with Giant Tiger on Facebook, Twitter @GTboutique and Instagram to keep up to date on all the latest fashion finds and deals.
