Fashion Showdown! A Case For Letting The Kids Style Themselves

The best and the brightest new arrivals to make their eyes go wide with wonder.

Rainbows, animal totems and some kind of clashing bold print. Is this what your mini Picasso’s dream wardrobe is made of? For the kid who knows what they want, something so simple as choosing their own outfit everyday can be a momentous milestone for them to express their personality, boost confidence, develop responsibility and take a load off mum or dad on those busy mornings. In fact, parenting experts declare it a celebratory occasion when your child starts to put their two cents in on their wardrobe options, as it is a sign that they are growing up (we’re not crying, you’re crying!).

To avoid any fashion showdowns steer their choices in the most functional direction by curating a wardrobe with practical yet fun basics that reflect their unique sparkle. A comfy curation of fabrics they like on their skin plus snazzy colours and patterns can be your best bet when it comes to handing the power over to your little ones. No brainers include: some kind of cartoon paraphernalia or animal motifs (read: Space Jam, Disney Princesses, and unicorns duh) and at the very least, a weekly option to dress head to toe in hot pink tulle and glitter. Like c’mon these kids know what’s up!
