I feel your pain NYMom! It gets worse, too, my son was bad at 13 and is worse at 15. Look at it this way, though, the knakis and checked shirt can be a perfectly neat and presentable outfit, and if they won’t take him because he doesn’t wear the bar mitzvah suit for the interview, he probably isn’t going to be happy there.

My son has to wear a uniform to school, then of course, he has the list of occasions that demand neat attire, so the few times he can dress as he pleases - he dresses oddly to say the least. Age will help though - we noticed a few weeks ago that he was alternating wearing the same 2 polo shirts to church every Sunday, whne we asked why - the blue one doesn’t show through the acolyte robe and the striped one does, so I can control whether or not I fill in acolyting by which shirt I wear. That is a definite improvement in noticing what one wears!
