For your kids to have a fun and successful mix and match, you must lay the foundation for them. You can start by shopping for new clothes with them if you're starting from scratch. But if you're pulling items from a current wardrobe, all you need to do is organize your kid's clothes into boxes or labels.
Considering your kids’ lifestyle needs is important in organizing their closets. You must take note of your area’s weather and seasons, your family’s religious inclinations and your kid’s need for school uniform. Then, you must build the clothing basics for your kids.
Generally, kids like t-shirts. But don’t fall into the trap of buying just shirts for your kids. Buy polo shirts, sweaters, cardigans and dress shirts too. The same goes for their bottoms. In addition to denim shorts and pants, buy dress pants, tights and jogging pants too.
Even though bright colors look good on kids, clothes with solid colors are the best option for mixing and matching. Also, choose clothes with simple patterns. They are easier to coordinate with other clothes and accessories. As for the accessories, choose pieces that will compliment and not overwhelm your kids’ personal style.
