Ethnic Fashion For Kids This Festive Season It seems the festive season is already knocking our doors, and in no time the city shall be draped in the beautiful curtain of the Navaratri and other ensuing festivals. There is already a lot of buzz all around – delicacies are to be cooked, decorations to be done, friends and relatives to be invited and so one. Another important thing that cannot go amiss is festive shopping, isn’t it? When it comes to shopping for these festive occasions, one usually has a long list. This contains not just ethnic apparel but also shoes, accessories, beauty products and even items of grooming and personal care. So much for ourselves, though; what about the kids of the house? These days, with the fashion market swinging with enthusiasm even over kid’s apparel, there is no end to the number of styles and colours in which ethnic fashion is available for our kids. Ranging from all types of sherwanis and kurtas for little boys, to pretty lehengas and suits for girls, the list is endless and mesmerizing. There are always a few things that you would want to keep in mind before purchasing an ethnic piece for your child, though. The comfortability When it comes to kids clothing, the first and foremost factor, for sure, is the comfortability. You would have to keep a lot of things in mind when deciding whether a particular garment would be comfortable for your kid or not. The weather and time of the day when your kid would be wearing the apparel is one of them, although this cannot be the sole basis, for the garment could be repeated again anytime in the future. You need to understand whether the garment would be too tight or too loose for your kid. The best way would be to conduct a trial before purchasing the dress. Also, no matter what the latest trends, it is crucial to determine what your child would be comfortable in wearing.
The fabric Ethnic wear tends to come in fabrics that might be a little rough or difficult to handle. Yet, we suggest you pick out the fabric and material of the garment with extra care to ensure your kid is comfortable and does not experience any irritation because of it. Secondly, you would also want to make sure that the garment does not have any embroidery or embellishment that can feel irritable to the kid. After all, the safety of your kid’s skin is of paramount importance.
The size When it comes to kids, the size of garments matters a lot. There are so many sizes available, even on the basis of age groups, and it might be a little difficult to settle on the perfect fit without trials. Avoid going for too large a size even though your kid is continuously growing.
Even if you opt for a bigger size, you can get the garment altered to fit them temporarily. Since ethnic clothes include lehengas and sherwanis, being too lengthy or big for comfort can be a serious problem.
The weight Although we love our ethnic garments all heavy and embellished, this is something you would like to avoid in case of buying apparel for your kids. Firstly, considering how active kids are especially during special occasions, and how they can never remain seated in one place for long, heavier garments might cause a serious hindrance for them.
The colours Whether or not we like bright colours for ourselves, ethnic fashion for kids cannot be dull and monochromatic. Choose bright and peppy colours for your kid, although do keep in mind how to colour coordinate the overall look. Kids look sweet in whatever they wear, but since it is the festive time of the year, it is crucial they get their personal style fashioned. You can try coordinating different colours for tops and bottoms, for both girls and boys. Either keep the top brightly coloured and the bottoms nude or go for a light-coloured tunic with coloured bottoms. Either way, make sure the ensemble looks colourful and bright enough for your kid to look his best self in.
The style Who says kids’ garments do not come in varieties and styles? The fashion market is raging today with a number of different and unique styles of ethnic apparel designed specially for kids. From different types of jackets and sherwanis for the boys to beautiful lehengas and suits for the girls, there is no end to style when it comes to kids’ ethnic clothing.
The ease of cleaning Kids will be kids, and they are bound not to stay in the same place for even a few minutes. In such a case, you should expect them to run about, play and end up spoiling their clothes, no matter how many lessons you give them. This makes the ease of cleaning the fabric an essential criterion for purchasing ethnic apparel for kids. Not only will this lend you comfort later on, but it will also help maintaining the clothing for long enough. Ethnic apparel is, after all, not something kids would wear every now and then; thus, longer lasting clothing is what you should prefer. All this makes the factor of easily washable fabric a must to look out for when purchasing clothes for kids.
The latest trends To sum things up, we have looked at all the essential factors that play an important role when it comes to buying ethnic wear for kids – comfort, feel of the fabric, the ease of cleaning, the lightness, the correct size and even the style. One of the most important factors, even after considering all the above, would be to keep in touch with the latest trends. The world of fashion keeps offering new styles and quotients each day, and it is really amazing to be able to keep up with them. It is true that the perfect fit considering so many factors would be a little difficult to get, but at least you know what are the things to weigh on when filling your shopping cart the next time.
