So stylin'

The 5-Year-Old Boy Who

The Instagram in question:
Instagram

He’s a super cute kid and VERY well dressed indeed. What are your thoughts on his status as a style star at 5 years old?

Re: So stylin’

Goodness that’s surely my kinda boy, so stylish…And he lives in Laguna beach…Ahh like LOVE!!!

Re: So stylin’

He is adorable!!! Seriously!!!

Re: So stylin’

I find this very disturbing.

Re: So stylin’

As many pedophiles as there are out there right now, i wouldn’t as a parent want to make my child a instagram star of anything!!! That i find disturbing!!! But he is adorable and he is dressed very well!!! Sharing amongst family friends and acquaintances is one thing but the whole duniya… Nah uh!!!

Re: So stylin’

I think it might be a California thing where some parents have an acting agents for their children! These parents are prolly waiting on a modelling gig by some talent agency hence the pictures all over instagram? But agreed this kid is way to adorable mA :slight_smile:

Re: So stylin’

Well apparently he’s very much into fashion and usually picks out what he wants to wear. The parents are wealthy enough to afford a designer wardrobe for him. He also has his own iPod and iPad and a lot of the pics are selfies ie he takes them himself and then his mom posts them on insta.

im a bit concerned at how adult he looks in his, well, looks. I dress my kid up too, and i shudder at character clothing but thats a personal preference for me, but I know i wouldnt want him to be this aware of brands, outfits and put so much stock into outward appearances at 5! It feels like he’s growing up too fast.

Metrosexual or gay in the future.

My kid Is a preppy boy but this is extreme.

bachay bachay he achay lagtay han models nhi

Re: So stylin’

Why would you say that?

Re: So stylin’

I dunno there’s just something about this that makes me feel uncomfortable and dislike it, but I can’t figure out what it is that bugs me.

Re: So stylin’

I disagree with the mom’s comment that her son doesn’t realize he’s fashion forward. Kids as young as five-years-old and even younger are very perceptive and they KNOW when they’re getting attention, when they’re not, and how to employ ways to get attention. The kid can’t be oblivious to the website/s about him, or to things said to him and about him, or to nonverbal responses (staring, etc) that he receives from people. He just can’t be clueless. And being aware of it sends him the message that material things matter more. Mom’s being defensive.

pata nahin kyun mujhay Bachhay Bachho ki tarhan hi achhay lagtay hain… :bummer: mujhay Chhotay abbay aur Chhoti ammayen nahin pasand aateen :khumar:

Re: So stylin’

i think he looks cute and i can’t point out why i have a problem with him dressing up the way he is; but i guess i feel like kids should act like kids at this age. I was watching Selna gomaz’ new video “Come and get it” and it just doesnt feel right looking at her acting all “sexy” when she still has this innocent baby face.

Re: So stylin’

He’s so adorable!

Re: So stylin’

He is so cute..!

Re: So stylin’

are you all uncomfortable with this because he’s a kid or because he’s a boy? lets be honest, girls are taught from a very young age that they must dress up perfectly and have matching bows, shoes, bags, jewels. its crazy how much attention my own little niece gives to her “matching” and she’s ONLY 3! she must have a little handbag when she goes grocery shopping with her mom and had like 5 diff outfit changes on her second bday. She has def realized that she gets more attention and more oohs and aahs when she dresses up. its def not gucci but the point is that girls this age usually spend alot of time playing with fake jewels makeup etc and we don’t really ostracize their parents for it.

Re: So stylin’

Hmmm

5 different outfit changes on a 2nd birthday? She must have a handbag when going to the grocery store? A three year girl is already dressing for oohs and aahs? I’m sorry, but that IMO is excessive and
OTT. That is not some natural born girly instinct to dress up, that is something that is being taught by your SIL and frankly, it sounds as ridiculous to me as this Instagram toddler is.

In this day and age of Kardashian-esque Instafame, putting that much emphasis on looks for toddlers and teaching them that looks, labels and dressing up are highly valued traits to have, puts a bad taste in my mouth. Especially for girls. it’s treading on thin ice. And the we all wonder where these self esteem issues and sense of entitlement comes from. Kids should be allowed to retain their innocence at this age and not be in a race to mature.

I never dressed my kids in “character” clothing either and I do take pride in dressing them like little hipster gents on special occasions or picture days, but becoming obsessed with maturing and accessorizing at this age? You have got to be kidding. The emphasis should be on neatness and grooming, not eliciting oohs and aahs and being a showpiece/Barbie doll.

Re: So stylin’

I am also mother of girl my baby is 2 years old I dress her decently cute stuff yes matching ponys but no she is not carrying a matching bag she got 4 pair of shoes now 1 joggers, 2 party shoes pink n black and one sandal. its not like I make her wear matching shoes wth each dress and changing 5 dresses :rolleyes:
