<p>I’ll give a couple of tips about dress shirts. You will be astonished how quickly they get dirty, especially the collars and cuffs. Unless you want to be washing and ironing constantly, get more than a couple. You might be able to find some in thrift shops–I would definitely take a look.
Wearing a white t-shirt under the dress shirt may allow the dress shirt to be worn a couple more times–especially if your son is sweaty. He may not need antiperspirant yet, but when he does, the t-shirt will protect the dress shirt both from sweat and the antiperspirant.</p>
<p>As for ties: buy CHEAP ties, from the thrift shop if possible. They will be stained almost immediately.</p>
