Whilst many families usually have at least one fashion trendsetter at home who tries to have their own style most children don't really care about what they wear. For many, it's a comfort factor, and for the parents wearing light clothing that is protective against summer's damaging rays is a top priority important. As such, light, colorful, easy to wear, and lose protective clothing is the way to go.
Fabric ChoiceThe right fabric for summer makes all the difference in the world for both kids and adults alike. Ideally, choosing natural fabrics like cotton or linen is the way to go for summer clothes. Using a fabric blend makes them easier to wash and enhances durability too. In particular natural fabrics crush easily so if you're still after a good look with comfort in mind, look for natural cotton or linen that is a blended fabric like poly-cotton or linen poly blends. Summer can be all fun and casual but it doesn't need to be a chore for parents, with ironing so choosing a blended fabric is the smarter choice.
Apart from cotton and linen another fabric that is great for summer is rayon. It is a man-made fabric and has similar properties to cotton. It doesn't wick away moisture as well as cotton, however. Think of it as something akin to imitation silk and you've got the idea. Rayon is best in dry heat. It has a thinner thread than cotton, so it's great for delicate, lightweight clothing that drapes well, so for little girls, it's perfect for airy, lightweight summer dresses.
Loose the poorly fitting clothes from last year and hit the season for kids with new styles and colors. In the search for something special for the summer, wardrobe keeps it simple, especially when it comes to choosing the right outfit combination for formal occasions.
