Dress to impress: Festive outfits for kids
We're getting dressed up for the holidays! Festive outfits for kids shouldn't just look great, but also last well beyond Christmas Eve. How do you find festive looks with long-lasting appeal? Here's a little inspiration.
Little helpers, big look
What mum, dad, grandma or grandad wear for the festive season naturally suits the kids too: classic shirts and smart trousers or elegant velvet dresses know no age limit nor any specific occasion – whenever things get festive, they're always a perfect fit! However, kids have a mind of their own and love to express their style at New Year's Eve dinner or under the Christmas tree. A princess-style tulle dress or a superhero costume with a tie… Why not?!
From everyday to party-ready in seconds
Buying extra festive kids' fashion that just ends up left in the wardrobe afterwards? There’s a smarter way. Go for versatile basics like a plain sweatshirt or dark kids' jeans, simple thermal leggings or a plain ruffled top. With sparkly hair accessories, a bow tie, glitter tights or braces, you can transform it into a picture-perfect holiday look in no time.
Festive fun and comfort
Adults will be instantly jealous: festive children's fashion not only looks great, but also moves with them. Elasticated waist trousers, A-line dresses and cosy tights without annoying seams are perfectly prepared for playful fun. Nothing creases when you rely on kid-friendly fibre blends with a high cotton content.
Bring on the matching family outfits!
Not feeling the typical festive party wear? Then Christmas jumpers are just the ticket! This US tradition has taken off here in a big way, because delightfully fun Christmas jumpers are super comfy and available for every member of the family. Or how about an extra cosy present opening? Slip into festive pyjamas with Christmas motifs and enjoy a relaxed holiday season.
Oops, a little mishap?
When eating and playing, things can easily go a bit wrong. Never mind, stains come out! Opt for hassle-free fabrics like cotton for children's festive wear – they can easily cope with red cabbage spills. Just in case (and for the family photo), it's best to pack a spare t-shirt, and simply relax over the festive season.
