Two words: mini sneakers. Isn't that why you wanted a little boy in the first place? Sure, it's not hard to find adorable kids' clothes in any given Baby Gap, but if you're looking to expand your son's style horizons, take note of these seven specific little boy fashion trends (from individual pieces to styling ideas).

It's the stylish piece that's sweeping the Internet, and now it's all over the kids' market—pint-sized flight jackets with banded collars and cuffs.

Speaking of elastic details, there's never been a more perfect pant for your wild man. Tapered legs keep them from catching their fabric in bike spokes, tree limbs, you name it.

Be it on a jacket, a hoodie, a pair of pants—this outdoor print is the one to beat right now.

Get the look: Target joggers ($17); Columbia fleece pullover ($28); Gap windbreaker ($50)

Don't settle for blue oxford dress shirts any longer. A patterned button-down is far more fun (and far easier to hide stains in).

As for styling his shirts, try a little pattern mixing (like plaids with stripes) to bring even more whimsy into his outfits.
