Styled By Mom- Fashion Tips To Help Your Kid Stand Out

For kids, their parents are their role models. From their eating habits to the way they talk, every behavior is inspired and influenced by you. That means the way you get dressed or what clothes you select for them will also impact your kids’ fashion style. 

Long gone are the days when kids used to wear overalls and stripes. Now, there are numerous outfits, different ways to style them, and don’t forget about accessories to spruce up the look. Obviously, you don’t want your kids to lack at the fashion game. Therefore, you need to take some steps to upgrade their style. 

Here are some fashion tips that can help your kids stand out from their fellow mates. So, let’s begin! 

• No Matter What Comfort Is The Top Priority 

First things first, you need to understand that no style is superior to comfort. So when you dress your kids, make sure that they can easily move around in it. For instance, you are selecting a little girl’s dress, ensure that she could run or jump in it. You don’t want her to be sitting alone because of an uncomfortable dress while all her friends enjoy themselves. 

In addition to this, avoid those outfits that require extra effort to put on or those outfits which are too tight. Instead, go with apparel that is easy to wear and gives freedom to move around however the kid wants. 

Plus, it would be great if the outfit is made up of soft and breathable material. It’ll ensure that the baby isn’t feeling any kind of discomfort. Not to mention, comfortable clothing will help elevate the confidence in your baby. 

• Accessories Are A Go-To Solution To Upgrade The Look 

Clothes are not the whole fashion but merely a part of it. Besides clothes, fashion also includes scarfs, watches, bracelets, hats, or any other accessories. These little things can instantly upgrade the whole look. 

For instance, adding a black leather belt over a simple white dress gives a classy appearance. Or, using a scarf over a t-shirt will give an adorable appearance. Similarly, adding sunglasses over a graphic tee will add a relaxed vibe to the overall look. The options to elevate the look with accessories are endless. So, you can try different styles and go with the best one. 

In fact, you can also make your baby your little assistant while selecting the accessories. Involving them might help you understand their preferences. You never know; maybe your kid has a hidden fashionista inside, which might blow your mind when creating a style. 

Note: If accessories can help upgrade the overall look, wearing too many accessories might not give good results. In simple terms, focus on one (at max two) accessories only. Remember that minimal accessories are the key to a better look. Don’t go overboard. 

• Always Select One Size Larger

Throwback to the time when you were also a kid. Do you remember your parents used to pick one size larger for your clothes? No matter how many times you argue with them, they will never listen. Well, today you are going to discover why. 

The height of kids grows till the age of 18 (sometimes till 20.) That’s why there is a high possibility that your kid will outgrow their current size pretty soon. Buying perfect size clothes will be of no use to them after a few months. That’s why you should always buy one size larger. 

It’s like preparation for the inevitable growth of your little one. Moreover, it’ll also help you save some time as well as money. Not to forget, oversize is one of the latest fashion trends. And it is here to stay. 

Now the question is how to find one size larger clothes for your baby? Well, you can look for kids clothes online as these stores generally have a size chart for every piece of apparel. So you can easily understand the size of your baby and select the clothes accordingly. 

• Remember To Dress According To Season 

No matter how many times your babies try to convince you to wear shorts during the winter season, you must not get lured by their puppy face. Remember, it’s a cute trap you might want to get stuck in, however, the health and safety of your child are of utmost importance. 

Therefore, you must dress them according to the season. Otherwise, they might not feel comfortable or can also get sick. For instance, wearing thick fabric during summer might increase their body heat. Likewise, thin clothes during rainy or winter can lower the body heat. 

So, you must pay attention to what your kids wear during a particular season. But what if you live in a region where weather is usually unpredictable? In that scenario, you must stay well prepared for every season. 

For instance, let’s suppose it was a bright sunny day, but it suddenly started to rain. Here, you can give your baby an umbrella as an accessory. Umbrella will help spice up the look as well as protect them from the rain.

• Give Them Freedom To Discover Their Own Style 

Last but not least, you must give your babies the freedom to discover their own style. It will not only help them understand what fashion is, but you might also learn something new about your baby. Understand that as the kids grow, their preferences might start to change. So letting them get dressed on their own will help you learn what they currently like and what they don’t. 

Nonetheless, you can always offer advice to the kids. As you are a role model to them, they will surely listen to your advice. Plus, they might make some changes to your suggestion and create a whole new look. 

Wrapping It Up!

All these tips will ensure that your kids understand fashion rules and explore their own style. Also, keep in mind that dressing appropriately helps in improving the self-esteem of kids. Therefore, you must help them be the best version of themselves in every possible way. 

Additionally, the above-mentioned fashion tips also apply to teenagers and adults. So you can also try them out to elevate your looks.
