No matter how much or how little you spend, clothes still need to be practical. Dressing your child can be a hassle if they fidget, so the fewer zips and buttons the better.
Early school years can be really simple, as most of the time the child will spend wearing a school uniform. After school children do not want to be wearing stiff or rigid clothing, they want to be stylish and comfortable. Children and adults alike love velour tracksuits because they are colourful, comfortable, trendy and do not need to be ironed.
Make sure you do not spend more than you can on children’s clothes as they will soon grow out of them, just make sure they are durable. You need to be able to wash the clothes hundreds of times before they lose their integrity.
You need to make sure the clothing is practical, there is no use putting your daughter in a long dress if she will be climbing trees. Teenagers tend to demand expensive clothes like their friend’s do so compromise and buy these expensive items as presents at birthdays and Christmas.
