With winter fast approaching, now is the time to start thinking about whether your children are ready for the colder season. Your children have likely grown since the last time the weather was wet and cold, so it’s high time you invested in a new set of clothes for your young ones. This year, you can make sure these clothes are both practical and and stylish. Here are some ideas on how you can dress your children stylishly without breaking the bank and spending too much of your domestic budget.
Colors
In general, winter colors tend to be darker, more autumnal, and deeper. That’s opposed to summer clothing, which is often floral or lighter and pastel in color. That’s your first style guide for your clothes shopping – to match the colors to the seasons. Meanwhile, you’re also going to want to purchase clothes that are practical, keeping your kids warm in the coldest months. Finally, you’re looking for clothes that are easy to wash and can be worn through the entire winter, ensuring that they’re more cost-effective than clothes that might fall apart quickly.
Matching
As well as matching colors to the seasons, you should also think about matching outfits with your different children as well as with yourself. Given that younger children have no real sense of style, it’s up to you to dress them in the way that you see fit. To make them seem super stylish alongside their parents, shop for outfits that are interchangeable with different items and that generally match your own style. You can search for matching sister outfits to find styles that have been compiled in order to make your shopping easier and your style more concentrated and unique.
Accessories
All children should be wrapped up warm in the winter, including with hats, scarves, and gloves. These winter accessories are essential when the wind picks up, and the snow falls, but they’re also another chance to make your kids appear stylish. Where possible, try to purchase a set of hats, gloves, and scarf that all match in color and style so that your children are wearing items that make sense together. Again, following the rule of interchangeability will help if one item gets lost – which is often the case with younger children who are in and out of school on a daily basis.
Shoes
Winter shoes should be waterproof, with grippy soles and a larger step up from the ground, in order to avoid water or snow seeping in. These shoes have long been designed for children, who likely spend time splashing through puddles and generally playing with no sense of the cold that they might soon encounter around their feet. Finding shoes that are both practical and fashionable can be a challenge in the winter months, but there are certainly shops and boutiques that can cater to your objectives. Search online to find shows that have been reviewed by other parents, or ask other parents if they have specific recommendations on stylish, waterproof winter shoes or boots.
Make your children comfortable, cozy and stylish this winter with the above tips – designed to help cost-cutting parents maintain the sale of their children through the coldest months of the year.
