You could do whatever you liked really. A little suit or a shirt and nice jeans for a more casual feel. Or a christening gown if you wanted a more formal look and then you could change him into his birthday clothes for his birthday. It's really up to you.
Bit different situation, but I was a bridesmaid when ds1 was 1 yr old and he came to the wedding. We dressed him in navy pants and a button down shirt as I thought jeans were a bit casual.
If you get him a nice, well made, gender neutral white gown for his naming you can reuse it for any future siblings and then hand it down to your children should they want it.
You can get some really lovely shirts from Myer for little boys - they look like shirts that are for mens dress suits but in much smaller sizes
Very cute - we've bought some nice ones for Luke on different occasions - and they have them in lovely colours - they also have a great variety of linen pants, too
For DS's Christening, he wore a white gown over a white bodysuit. And his big hairy monster feet because DH loved those and put them on just before we left!
Afterwards he wore some smart trousers and a nice shirt from Pumpkin Patch.
For the weddings this year he has a suit - trousers and a waistcoat. He also has a few nice shirts and a child's tie to wear. That looks great and the tie, because the knot is so much material, it's great - it stops ALL teething dribble from attacking the outfit. DS is a terrible teether and I was thrilled with this discovery, although the tie was sodden when we took it off.
