What to Consider When Buying Clothes for Girls

Buying outfits for your little girl may seem overwhelming–after all, you’ve got a ton of choices from dresses to footwear. Thankfully, shopping can get a bit easier when you remember the following considerations:

Comfort

Your little girl is at an age where she’s running around, going to pre-school, and experiencing new things. Prioritize soft and breathable fabrics to keep your child comfortable throughout these new experiences.

Functionality

Whether she’s off to dance class, jumping in muddy puddles, enjoying her favorite hobbies, or relaxing around the house, your little girl’s clothes need to match her activity. Opt for pieces that are easy to wear and appropriate for her activity for the day, such as a comfortable t-shirt for an active day or a warm hoodie for a cold day outside.

Sizing

Kids this age may experience growth spurts. Make sure to choose girls clothing that will accommodate changes in their bodies. Be sure to check an item’s sizing to help you find the best fit for your little princess.

Personal Preferences

At any age, your little girl may have strong opinions about their preferred fashion –so it’s important that you consider how they like to dress when choosing clothes. Do they love dresses or do they prefer jeans and shorts? Are they more into bright colours or a subdued palette? Knowing what they like will make it easier for you to choose items for their wardrobe.

Essential Girls Clothing

A girl’s wardrobe can be an exciting playground for your little princess. From frilly summer dresses to relaxing pyjamas, there’s a ton of options available to help your little girl dress up. But there are some pieces that they simply shouldn’t miss:

Tops

Having a variety of tops can instantly change an outfit. A frilly blouse, a sleek long-sleeve, a comfortable t-shirt–all these can be mixed and matched with pants, shorts, and skirts to create a stylish outfit for your child. Why not try out the With Love For Kids Basics Thick Shimmy Ribbed Long Sleeve Onesie/Top for a really versatile top?

Pants

Pants are a great option for both casual and dressier days. A classic denim pant can easily be mixed and matched with a wide variety of tops, while sleek black slacks can transform an outfit into an elevated look.

Shorts

For casual summer days, shorts like the Country Road Australian Cotton Blend Bike Short are the perfect option. Think of it as the younger sibling of pants, except way more comfortable. Shorts are great for hot days or days when your little girl is sure to be extra active.

Skirts

Skirts like the Country Road Scallop Linen Cotton Skirt are the playful cousin of shorts and pants. With varying lengths and styles, skirts are great for when your little girl wants to show a more feminine side of her personality.

Dresses

Dress up or dress down in fashionable dresses such as the With Love For Kids Cotton Muslin Dress! Dresses are great for days when your little girl just wants to have a simple yet stylish outfit. They’re also incredibly versatile and have tons of different styles for various events and dress codes.

Footwear

No outfit is complete without footwear! Make sure your little girl has comfortable shoes, sandals, flats, and slippers that are easy to mix and match.
