Smarten up your little man in collars and cuffs with our pick of the best checked shirts. From traditional tartan to red gingham, Burberry to Zara, we’ve hand-picked our favourite lumberjack looks for stylish little boys aged two to teens.
Long Sleeved Honey Checked Cotton Shirt
Bonpoint
Our favourite French children’s label has come up trumps with this super soft 100% cotton plaid shirt in tones of honey and lilac. The colour palette is made up of traditionally girlie colours, yet it still oozes boyish charm. Pair with cord trousers and a duffle coat for a retro vibe.
Green Checked Shirt
Burberry at Harrods
Burberry knows how to work a check. Their classic pattern has been done to death so why not opt for a more modern look in army greens, earthy olives and mustard. The button-up chest pockets come in handy for storing little toy soldiers too.
Brushed Cotton Checked Shirt
Johnnie B at Boden
You can’t fault a brushed cotton shirt for comfort and durability. This Boden check will wash well and continue to feel soft. A great pick for boisterous boys and surly teenagers.
Large Checked Print Shirt
Ralph Lauren at Selfridges
It’s sometimes tricky dressing little boys for a family meal out, you want them to be comfortable, look presentable but not overly smart. This Ralph Lauren piece, with its button down collar and red/navy check, is the perfect choice for the occasion. Pair with navy chinos and a grey cardigan for the ultimate smart casual look.
Pale Pink And Grey Cotton Shirt

Red Gingham Shirt
Zara
You can’t go wrong with a red gingham shirt, it looks classic and won’t date. Roll the sleeves up for practicality and pair with indigo denim and coloured plimsolls.
