The key to a long service garment is quality, not quantity. If you do not know how to choose the right clothes, you can quickly get disappointed: some things will immediately tear, and some children will not wear them at all.

So, how do you choose the clothes that your baby can wear for a long time and which will grow with him? Below are 9 tips that will help you while shopping.

1. Choose the right fabric

The right choice of fabric is not only comfort and quality but also the durability of clothes. If you want your child’s clothing to last longer, then pay attention to fabrics made of natural fibers: cotton, silk, linen, and wool. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pay attention to synthetics at all. Synthetic fibers have high tensile strength. And clothing made of natural fabrics with the addition of synthetic fibers (a small percentage) or eco-friendly clothes will appeal to parents who want to buy clothes for growth.

2. Let’s look at the brand.

There are a lot of different brands on the market now, so it is difficult to navigate which of them can offer quality and wearable clothes. To find out, read the reviews of other parents. Then you will know exactly what to expect from a particular brand.

3. Think about durability.

Once you have decided on the brand of “growing” clothes, make sure that they are of proper quality and can withstand active games. Don’t forget that children love to play in the mud and can spill soup or sauce on themselves while eating. Therefore, the clothes should be able to withstand such trials and still be well washed. Purchase a separate small wardrobe for games, made of strong and reliable materials such as denim or cotton. When these items are worn down or get dirty, it’s a good idea to throw them away.

4. Comfort is the top priority.

You need to make sure that children feel comfortable with the clothes you bought for them. Natural fabrics, such as cotton and wool, are more comfortable than synthetics.

The inscriptions on the labels will tell you what the clothes are made of natural, synthetic fibers or a mixture of them. If your child likes the clothes he wears, he will not hurry to clean them in the far corner of the closet.

5. Buy one size larger.

You must have looked at your child once and wondered how fast it grew up. Sometimes parents are surprised by the speed with which their children grow up. It’s normal and it happens all the time. So don’t be surprised when you have to run back to the store to buy a new pair of jeans or T-shirts. So buying a bigger piece of clothing ensures that your child will have clothes to grow up with, and you minimize the trip to the store for a new wardrobe.

 

If you decide to use this strategy, make sure you buy very high-quality garments. A new item should be chosen only one size larger than the current one so that the clothes do not look too big.
