The Curated
Children’s
Wardrobe
Most parents should plead
guilty of these first world
problems.
Guilty of collecting
mountains of clothes for their children.
Guilty of staring into their children’s
bloated wardrobe and say “My baby
has nothing to wear.” Guilty of dressing
their children in a garment only once.
But really, who can blame them?
It is hard for the modern parents to
escape the images of children in beautiful
clothes. Be it on TV or on their social
media feeds, it is hard to shake off
the presence of budding fashion icons
like Romeo Beckham, Aila Wang, North
West and Kingston Rossdale. Any parent
would get caught up in ‘who wore
what’, the new collections in children’s
fashion and the latest ‘must have’
items. Even if you are not a consciously
trend-following parent, there is a high
chance that you try to keep up with
what the media is telling you.
A curated wardrobe makes life
simpler.
Some people will roll their eyes or
chuckle at this ‘problem’ but your children’s
clothes can have a big impact on
your life. It may be a small collection at
first with one or two additions every
other week. Eventually, your children’s
clothes will spill over into your wardrobe
or the attic. Plus, like any other
cluttered wardrobe, the noise it creates
will distract you from your main aim:
getting your children dressed. Choosing
what they would wear each morning
should not take much energy—it should
be a quick and effortless process.
The key concept of a curated wardrobe
is simple: only own pieces that
truly resonate your personal style,
makes you look and feel good, and can
be easily mixed and matched. With
a minimal amount of clothes, it is easier
to get your wardrobe organized.
Dressing up will be easy because everything
will make your feel good and
confident.
Sounds simple? It is.
However, there is a ‘but’ when
it comes to curating your children’s
wardrobe.
Children wardrobe curating tips
Admittedly, it is a harder task and
requires a longer amount of time to
complete. This is simply because you
children are constantly outgrowing
their clothes. They are also still figuring
their sense of self, what more their
own personal fashion style. It is also
harder because you are editing for
someone else that may not share the
same fashion beliefs.
Do not be demotivated. There are
some tips that you can abide by
when you are curating your children’s
wardrobe.
