Its hard to find fashionable and affordable clothes for children. Here is the scoop on dressing your little bargainista in the hottest fashions for less.
Dressing Girls
Most of us struggle to find clothing for girls that dont generate your most approved
five-year-old look like a midget Britney Spears. There are plenty of stores to find age appropriate items like Old Navy, Childrens Place, and the Gap. These stores offer dazzling pieces, for reasonable prices. Always buy items like pants and jackets one size up, so that it may last into the beginning of the following year.
H&M has some of cutest clothing for girls at even cheaper prices than the GAP. Avoid department stores that tend to price childrens clothing at the identical
price point as adults. There is no justification for a 4T Ralph Lauren skirt to cost that identical
as an adult skirt. The one exception is at Macys, which has dazzling deals on childrens clothing during their major sale events.
The best store to bargain shop for girls is at Target. The options are limitless and the clothes are well designed with most items in the $10-$17 range. Plus shopping at target is very acceptable (unlike K-MART), so you might
save money without worry about the "cool" factor.
Dressing Boys
It seems like the designers for boys clothing are hell-bent on building
them look like little action heroes. Bargain shopping for these tykes is an art form that few understand
how to do. Target has successful
stuff for little guys, with Childrens Place giving the most for your bucks. However, SEARS is also a great place to find cute little items from designers like Sean John and Levi, for very reasonable prices.
Although Old Navy is efficient place for basics like Cargo pants, the really cool stuff is at GAP. Bright colored lumberjack jackets and knit caps will keep your little guy looking stylish. Another sizeably workable place is Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. Usually both these stores have nice suits from designers like Polo Ralph Lauren for such a bargain that you could also pick them up a little toy to generate up for forcing them to go shopping.
Dressy Outfits
When you want to spend a little more on either a dazzling suit or party dress, head to the outlets of the big expensive department stores, like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom also have children departments. Go to the main page
of these stores to find the outlets nearest you. You may find designers like Betsey Johnson and Ralph Lauren for kids. Nordstrom has an amazing selection of shoes for little ones as well.
