At Mr. Loutre, it's all about clothes that look good and feel comfortable. Layering plays a key role in this.

Why Layering Boys' Clothes Works
Layers keep your son warm without overheating. By layering different garments, you can easily add or remove items. Moreover, layers add depth to an outfit, from texture to color.
Boys' clothing: start with a good base
Start with a boys' long sleeve or boys' polo shirt Choose soft, breathable fabrics like cotton. This layer lies directly against the skin and should therefore be comfortable. Consider solid colors or subtle prints that are easy to combine.
Add a warm turtleneck or sloop sweater
A mid-layer provides insulation. Choose a turtleneck or cable knit sweater for extra warmth. In milder temperatures, you can also use a cardigan as a mid-layer. Pay attention to the fit: not too tight, so there's room for a base layer.
Finish with a practical teddy overshirt
For outdoor activities add a teddy overshirt boys , an anorak boys or a between-season jacket boys This layer protects against wind and cold. Choose models with zippers or snaps so your son can easily put the jacket on and take it off.
