  I've just bought Cole some shorts in the boots sale to wear for a christening in August. They are brown and plain with no combat style pockets and thin so think they will be smart enough for a 2 year old if we pop a short sleeved shirt on him (if he'll wear it lol).
  
  Otherwise you could try the bhs wedding range - you might get lucky and pick up something in the sale. We picked up some trousers for cole that are actually quite thin and as they were too big they've done him for 3 weddings.. in fact I do need to check and see if they still fit him as thats the alternative for the christening if its not so warm.
  
  You could also try monsoon if you get lucky in a sale - we picked up last year a nice short sleeved shirt & waistcoat in the sale - like you I didn't want to spend a fortune for somethign that'd only get worn once or twice

  Not the cheapest option, but JoJoMamanBebe are having a sale at the moment (up to 80% off) and they have some lovely linen short overalls which would look very smart with a white collared shirt, either short or long sleeve. I think there are some linen trousers and a linen vest in the same range. It may be worth a look as they are the sort of thing that, with a different shirt, could be worn on a more casual basis as well, so you might get some more use of them.
  
  Hope that helps.

  Last Summer I bought zachariah a gorgeous plain White short sleeve shirt from gap and a pair of casual/smart trousers from asda, he looked smart but a little boy and comfortable, I still use the shirt

  Thanks ladies, knew you would all have some fab ideas! THG I like the dungaree things as J seems to be too skinny for most trousers and they just fall down (even though I think he has a proper 'milk belly'! lol) Will check out the other places for a shirt as I'm not keen on the JJMB ones! (don't know why)
