Fabric Durability

Choosing the right fabric for the occasion is an important factor when deciding on outfit choice. Cheap clothing might be ok for playtime, but under the strain of excessive wear, it may lose its we arability pretty quickly. Opting for tougher fabrics for playwear is an ideal option as this can prevent thing such as holes in knees, ripped seams and general wear and tear during rough and tumble. Lighter materials are also a good option for warmer months as they provide ample protection against the sunshine but also keep children cooler.

Machine Washable Fabric

For most of your child’s clothing, you need it to be machine washable, so you don’t have to make special arrangements for it to be cleaned separately. It’s not just that fact that you can pop it in the machine that is a factor here too, but also how well it washes at different temperatures. Cheaper clothing might be more affordable at the time, but after its first wash, you could find that it has lost shape or shrunk due to how the fabric has reacted in the machine. This then makes an affordable piece of clothing a complete waste of money, as they cannot wear it again. Checking out the labels and adhering to the instructions is a great way to test out brands too, as if you’ve followed the cleaning instructions and you still have a bad experience, you are within your rights to take it back and get a refund.

Investing in Quality Clothing

Children do tend to grow out of clothing quite quickly, but that’s not to say buying lots of cheap and affordable clothing will do the trick during this growth spurt. Investing in quality garments will save you money in the long term, as the wear on the material will not show as badly as on something that cost a few dollars. Designer and high-quality clothing is manufactured to a higher specification and can generally withstand frequent washing or longer wear. You’ll also find you don’t have to buy as many items during their growing phases, as quality clothing will see them through each stage.
