As a mom of a boy, I still can’t believe how challenging it can be to find cool, stylish clothes that will last an entire season (ideally longer!) without killing my budget. I’m more than happy to spend a bit more if it means I won’t have to buy new clothes every couple of months which is why I was so happy to have discovered Red 21 Boys
a few months ago.

Now, they’re our sponsor (hooray!) and they’re offering an amazing exclusive discount just for Cool Mom Picks readers. Which means you–and definitely I–are getting the best of both worlds: Amazing, high quality boys clothes at ridiculously good prices.

Whether you’ve got a budding rock star, an obsessed sports fan, or a wannabe preppy, you’ll love their modern takes on classic boy styles. Here are just a few picks I’m loving from the Red 21 Boys’ new winter collection.


Dressing up for holidays was never so cool with this Black Wide-Wale
Skull Cord Blazer
. Classic on the outside, super rad on the inside. Pair
it with the Red Ecru Plain Boys Flannel shirt and you’ve got an outfit
that’s cool, not stuffy.

Don’t miss 5 more awesome picks and one ridiculously amazing exclusive discount (seriously) after the jump:


The bold, bright 2 in 1 Motorcycle t-shirt has a cool, worn-in look without actually being worn-in. As we all know, that will happen pretty quickly on its own. 

The smart Navy Fleece Stadium Jacket can be dressed up or down, but since it’s fleece and not wool, it’s so much more wearable. And washable. 

Red 21 Boys must have heard our boys’ gripes about buttons and belts when they made these Elastic Waist No Button Boys Cargo pants. Finally, cool pants that just slip on, and in four colors so you can grab a few. Especially great for younger kids.

We recently deemed the mustache the “official motif of the 2011 hipster movement” which might be why we’re digging this Mustache Contest Boys Long Sleeved tee. Plus? It’s perfect for Movember. Hilarious.
