Dressing a toddler up on shabbos/yomtov

I don't do high-maintenance kids clothing. DS is 17 months old and SUPER active.

On Shabbos, there is no eruv, and especially in the winter when it's cold, I just let DS stay in his pjs all day. I have special "Shabbos PJs" that are light blue or grey, but they are inexpensive and machine washable.

Now that the chag is coming up, and DS is already walking around, I feel like I need clothes for him for the day meals at least. Or at least for the day meals we're going out for (Shabbos chol hamoed and last 2 days). I want to stay low-maintenance, but still be mechubadik for yontif.

I remember my little brothers used to wear white cotton polo shirts with black or navy slacks on Shabbos, but I can't find any long-sleeve polos in my toddler's size, and it's still too cold to wear short sleeves.

Any suggestions?

What about this? Only $2.80.

That was size 18 months. If DS is already in 24 months, here is the link:

Wow! That's perfect!

I was at a Target store earlier this week, and they only had short sleeves... should've thought to look online where more "wintery" clothes would be clearance...

some days, DS can go through 3 changes of clothing, so I'm slightly dreading having to buy at least 3 outfits to last just for a 2-day yontif -- if I'm lucky!

I think black or navy pants (nothing super fancy, just not cargo pants or jeans) with a white polo are nice, with a cute sweater vest for when he's in the stroller and can't get dirty. Smile

But I'll need at least 3 pairs of pants and half a dozen shirts... God bless my little messmaker.

I consider these a bit pricey for a little boy but:
