Style Tips

Make the most of your kids' wardrobe and keep them looking hip with these pointers! 

  • Stick to the basics.  Everyday basics can fit into any style that you child may be after. 
    • Layering tees  can be worn in so many different ways!  Make them casual with jeans dressy with a skirt or layered over a long-sleeve shirt    
    • Not only are the basics versatile... they tend to cost much less! 
  • Mix and match.  Combine everyday basics with a few key pieces to stay in style without breaking the bank.
    • Pick three or four trendy items that are unique.  Then match them with some basics to stretch the style out all season long.  
  • Keep it simple.  Mixing and matching is much easier when you have colours that complement one another. 
    • Have your child pick out a few of his/her favourite colours and then shop for basics  and bold prints  to match!
    • When the clothes in your child's closet  are cohesive, mixing and matching becomes much easier. 
  • Bargain shop.  You will want to look for the best deals possible. ShopWiki can help you compare prices!

Guide to Girl's Clothing

When you are shopping for a little girl, all you need are a few quick measurements to determine her size, and you're just about ready to go... but before you add anything to your shopping cart, find out her favourite colour!  This is a great way to get your child excited about getting dressed in the morning--buy clothes that are fun to wear!  Just be careful--kids have a tendency to quickly change their minds. If she decides she doesn't like pink tomorrow morning, will she still have something to wear?
