Can anyone clue me in on what I need to buy my son for his new wardrobe.

I will get a shabbos and weekday hat, loafers, shabbos shoes... What else?
What kind of shirts do boys wear for weekday? What about shabbos?

Do the boys wear the same His Place stretch pants for shabbos and weekday?

Thanks!!

Sounds like yeshivish bar mitzvah . Did that this past year
Yes, the boys do like to wear stretch pants for weekday but not for shabbos
On shabbos they wear suits.

The boys wear white shirts weekday and shabbos. Usually a fancier type for shabbos.
Ask your son what company boys wear in your neighborhood.
My son likes Adonis.

Assuming he has a belt for shabbos.

Buy him one or two new ties.

And obviously tefillin and tefillin bag.

We were happy with Joseph danitti shoes.
They were expensive but the pair we bought lasted long BH

Oh, and shayna coat type raincoat (not davka that brand, but some work better than others.)

And, at least in our circles, very specific expensive wool coat for winter

Hatzlacha!!
You will get there!!

When do you switch your bar mitzvah boy to adult tie? At what height?

Ask the tie store.
My son definitely not ready for adult tie at his bar mitzvah at abt 5'3

Heimish Lakewood circles he will wear a bekesha on shabbos. Which pants for shabbos??

You need to ask someone in your school. Or a neighbor.
These are very circle specific.
Jpf that sends to yeshivish Lakewood school- we get stain proof ai atone pinpoint shirts for w/d.
They wash beautifully.

A regular suit for Shabbos . What was he wearing till now ? Weekday shirts have buttons at the tips of the collar . Shabbos shirts do not .

This depends on the yeshiva. My son wears Alviso during the week

Asking again which white shirts are good for weekday? (Non iron)

Regarding pants- His Place has the stretch pants and the Flex pants, which one is best?

Please help.

My son wears the Brachsoni shirts for weekday. They are affordable, nice and wash well.
For shabbos he wears cufflink shirts from His Place.
Pants he wears the Flex from His Place for shabbos and the skinny stretch from NextDirect for weekday. I'm not spending $50 on multiple weekday pants that get ruined playing basketball. The Next pants are $20 and look just as nice.

Yes it's still slim. How slim it'll be depends on your kid.
The only downside with next is no free returns but it's worth it to order a few styles and sizes, return once. Once you know their size and style they looks good on them (reg waist, plus waist etc..) you can just keep on ordering the same thing and go up one size when needed. For me it was worth the one time hassle in order to save nearly $30 per pants.
