Colder days are upon us and that means you’ll most likely have to update your children’s wardrobes. Last year’s clothes probably won’t fit them because they grow fast, and here are a few steps worth taking as you get ready to buy them new fall/winter clothes.
Go Through Their Closet
Don’t buy any new clothes before you go through your kids’ closet. This will help you assess the clothes they already have, and keep the ones that still fit them, thus avoiding unnecessary purchases.
Shop with a List
Once you assess the clothes your kids have, you’ll know what they’re missing, so take some time to put together a list of items to focus on when you go shopping for fall/winter clothes.
Sizing Up
Consider your kids’ growth spurs when buying new clothes. Many parents decide to size up on certain items, such as coats, sweaters, or boots, so their kids wouldn’t outgrow them before the season is over.
Sales & Deals
Fall/winter clothes are usually pricier than spring/summer clothes so take advantage of sales, promo deals, and discounts whenever you can.
Consider Thrifting
If you’re looking for a way to save money, you should also consider thrifting. Children’s clothing at second-hand stores is usually gently used, so you shouldn’t struggle to find cheap clothes in good condition.
