However, that’s not to say that being fashionable while being comfortable is a myth, we guarantee you it’s not. And that’s exactly why we’re here to tell you about dressing up your kids stylishly don’t need to be against their comfort anymore.

If you’re a parent who adores dressing up with your kid and your kid is a young fashion guru, read on and understand how you can help them dress in trend while being comfortable in their own skin.

1) Choose comfort over style.

Always, ALWAYS choose comfort over style when dressing up your kids. Your kid might be fashionable for some time after wearing those flashy new clothes, but it would be a shame if they didn’t want to wear it anymore because they feel uncomfortable after wearing it.

 Hence, it is your first priority to choose what makes your kids comfortable first, and is in trend for kids dresses second. For example, you chose a strappy shoulder frock for your little girl.

But when she is running and playing, the sleeves would keep coming off if they are too loose. Avoid anything that would require assistance to remove. 

So before buying anything for your kids, ask yourself these three things, if your kid can:

  • Run, climb, bend and sit properly.
  • Go to the washroom with ease by themselves.
  • Freely enjoy without their clothes ripping.

If your answer is no to any of the above, it wouldn’t be a good idea to purchase whatever trendy outfit it is you’re planning to get.

2) Enhance with accessories.

Accessories can turn even the simplest of outfit ensembles into trendy show pieces. A plain white tee and a pair of denims can be stylized with sunglasses to make the kids look cool.

While the kids can usually choose an accessory or two on their own, you can always guide them in the right direction if needed. 

Choose from accessories like scarves, hats, bracelets, watches, necklaces etc. While accessorizing with 1 or 2 accessories is fine, do not go overboard with accessories like stacking a bunch of bracelets or necklaces at once.

Keep in mind that they’re kids, not adults and it will become uncomfortable for them to enjoy freely after all those accessories.

3) Select one size larger.

While your kid can carry off smaller sizes, bear in mind that they are growing at a very fast pace and while they can wear the clothes now, they won’t be able to wear it, say 6 months or a year later.

In cases like such, it is better that you buy a size larger for them so they can be both trendy and comfortable for a long time, without wasting the clothes.

4) Dress for the weather.

IF you’re dressing your kids with winter clothes in summer or vice versa, they will have a rough time dealing with the weather.

They cannot and most probably, will not handle it if you layer on clothes for the summer because that will get them overheated. Or dress them up in sleeveless clothes in winter because they will catch a cold. 

So ensure you’re dressing the kids for the weather, layer it on in winter and strappy sleeveless dresses in summer. However, if you’re living somewhere with unpredictable weather, carry extras accordingly with you.

Give your kid an umbrella with a fun print and that can match with the outfit ensemble your child is wearing if it might rain. Carry a jacket or shrug if it could get cold later due to a temperature drop.
