Fashion Tips

Kids are kids. Before you start buying all these cute colorful skirts and dresses remember that children’s clothing should first of all be convenient and allow kids to move, jump, run and play comfortably. In addition,  it is important to consider any fabric’s nature before buying children’s clothing. Make sure the fabrics "breathe" and that your child is not sensitive or allergic to the material.

1) Dress according to shape of body. Choose lighter clothing such as cotton, linen, wool jersey or crepe.

At the beginning of a new season, when most people buy new clothes, it is advisable to take shoes for repair and to mend or alter relevant clothes in readiness for the new season.

2) Go for the image that will make them look and feel good.

3) Accessorize to reflect personal style!  Accessories can make an otherwise dull-looking outfit look exceptionally good. Kids accessories are just as important as grown-up ones. Adorable colorful necklaces, shoes, and purses are always a winner!

4) Put on clothes that actually fit. Be extra careful choosing any clingy material. Clingy or stretchy materials often reveal bumps and bulges. It is very important to balance silhouettes.

5) You can make outfits balance by using complimenting sizes and shapes. An example is putting on fitted tops with bottom that are looser.

6) Do not be afraid to do some color experimentation with your clothes.

7) Do not neglect the basics. Boys should always have track pants, khaki pants, jeans, basic tees and casual pullovers. Girl's should always have sweater jackets, leggings, long sleeve t shirts, 2-3 dresses, 2-3 skirts,  jeans, khakis and an array of 2 piece matching outfits.
 

8) Choosing the right color combination might be tricky. Kids’ designers suggested 3 interesting color approaches for 2009:

  • Option A: Simple and classy.

    • Calm classic colors (jeans blue, grey, white, black) with classic patterns and

    • Occasional drop of color in shoes or accessories. This approach is always stylish and it’s hard to make a mistake: it’s appropriate for any occasion.
       

  • Option B: Mixing  traditional  bright kids colors (pink, blue, yellow, green) with classic white, grey and black.

9) Have yours kids pick out 5 of their favorite outfits on Sunday night. For the week, choose the outfit the night before school so they are ready to go in the morning!
