The old nursery rhyme would have you believe that boys are made of only “snips and snails and puppy dogs tails,” but when it comes to our stylist, Alek, add scales to the mix. A science buff and dinosaur aficio- nado, the kindergartener was more eager to chat about reptiles than fashion. “I want a snake,” he said as his mother winced nearby.

“Or maybe a dinosaur,” he added. Instead, Alek settled for the next best thing: a bright and cozy Tyrannosaurus-printed hoodie—a perfect layering piece for casual cool tees and comfy cords. “I don’t want to take it off,” he said as he tugged the zipper up and down. In fact, the hoodie may have sparked a newfound interest in clothes. On the way out of the Earnshaw’s office, he was overheard saying he wanted to be a model. —Angela Velasquez
