Help please! We did really well with clothes from Gymboree last year for our family pics. DS1 wore a flannel button up over a solid waffle long sleeve shirt. DS2 wore a sweater from Janie and Jack. Time got away from me and I don’t have time for shipping this year. I need to be able to run to a B&M store. I have a huge mall close by with Target, Children’s Place, Nordstrom, Macy’s, etc. Any thoughts on where I should look? 10 yo and 12 yo boys.

Cat & Jack at Target should be perfect for what you are looking for. I quickly looked at what is in stock at a Target near me, shirt and sweater that would work:

Old Navy usually has inexpensive, nice casual stuff. That’s where I usually got my boys’ family picture outfits.

If I were you I'd shop online and use the "pickup today" option.

We have had great luck with gap. Easy to do coordinating colorways.

I like that with Kohl's you can filter by color. I tend to get shirts in my kids' favorite colors so they will hopefully cooperate more with wearing what I want but it gets tricky.Angie

We did the boys pictures in Vineyard Vines shirts and quarter zips this year in coordinating colors. It makes it easier to coordinate since I have one fully in adult sizes.
Gap Kids also has some great button down shirts.
I would definitely look online at the stores you have and see what could work and is in stock before you go. Nordstrom, Target, Macy's, etc. should all have something that will work.Mama to my boys (04,07,11)

I looked at Old Navy and Target. I didn't want to spend a ton because DS lives in athletic wear year-round. (He's almost 10.) I would have tried Gap Kids, but ours closed last year. I really miss just running in and out.
This year, I got a sweater from the Cat & Jack line that fits our color theme.

Old Navy has a ton of waffle tops, which I love. He wore one last year, but I couldn't find one that would work for this year.Last edited by carolinacool; 10-21-2019 at 02:34 PM.
