Unruly Blue Jolly Well Gets Boys' Fashion

By Stephanie Hanlon

Little boys might be made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails in the old nursery rhyme, but the new rhyme would include tux and tails if Unruly Blue has anything to say about it. This company has found a way to do the unfathomable: make flawlessly tailored finery for the reckless gentlemen ages 4-12. This luxury brand claims inspiration from the disheveled elegance of children. Melding the spirit of youth and whimsy with timeless, refined details, Unruly Blue was created to increase the standard of quality and variety available in clothing for boys, dispelling the idea that clothing is disposable. The result is clothing that can withstand the weathering of little boy energy and still be in heirloom condition for the next generation that’s rough and ready to dress in style.

Drawing inspiration from her life in Oxford, founder and designer Samantha J. Taylor has created a quintessential British brand that builds off two classics: Liberty of London and Harris of Hebridge Tweed. The Harris Tweed jackets are slightly rebellious with their lining made of cotton and silk. Boys won’t be singing the blues thanks to an atypical palette of yellow and herringbone. The jackets are perfectly paired with the Casual Plaid Trouser, a blend of wool and cotton that will look immaculate even while little scamps carry on with their rowdy days.

Little men don’t have to go gently into the night with a delightfully dapper 3-piece suit. Featuring a traditional grey plaid, the suit includes a wee waistcoat, tailored trousers and a formal shirt perfect for any holiday event. If the full suit is a bit much, Unruly Blue has suit separates in mustard, grey and grey plaid.

Whether it’s a suit or a separate, everything will come together with the fashionable floral formal shirt, a modern take on a classic white work shirt via Liberty of London. For those who prefer a more traditional take on the suit, Unruly Blue also features a formal white shirt that can be paired with anything to pull a look together.

Unruly Blue doesn’t go off book with textiles, sourcing them from premium mills around the world but still manufacturing exclusively in the UK where their boyish designs were born. To top off these lavish looks, dress your display with a deep red scarf made of 100% baby alpaca wool.
