Gone are the days when the only person you had to worry about dressing was yourself. Chances are, you’ve got a few more little ones in your life that are in need of your fashion expertise to get themselves dressed for the day.
Even if you don’t have the fashion experience of Anna Wintour, there’s an expectation as a parent to have that talent regardless. If you’re struggling to know how to dress your family all year round, then this guide has fallen into your lap at the perfect time. Let’s look at some top tips for dressing your family all year round.
Do a declutter every year
Where possible, try to do a declutter every year for all the wardrobes within your home. This is important because it helps give you a somewhat blank canvas when styling you, your other half and your kids.
If you have lots of clothes that are no longer wearable or suit the fashion of today, then it’s going to make it more difficult to sift through all of the options and find an appropriate pick. Make sure you’re doing these declutter days with your family members so that they learn and know how to declutter themselves.
Go for basics to keep it simple
Basics are always great for keeping everything simple. Opt for neutrals too in order to keep it even more simple for those that don’t want to fuss about selecting outfits. Basics are a great way to build on an outfit too, meaning you don’t need to worry about clashing colours until you start layering on top of them.
If you’re someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time shopping for clothes or picking out outfits, then basics are always a go-to for those that want life a little easier.
Opt for comfort with fussy ones
Got some fussy children or adults? Comfort is often an important factor for those that are fussy in general. From off-white t-shirts to oversized hoodies, look at shopping for comfort rather than being too focused on style.
While style is important, there are plenty of pieces out there that are catered to provide the wearer with ultimate comfort.
Encourage children to pick out their own outfits
A good way to get your children interested in fashion is by encouraging them to pick out their own outfits. Not only does it save you the job of doing it, but it also builds valuable skills. Being independent and choosing things of their own accord instead of asking for your help, are useful for when they grow up.
Allow plenty of time when getting ready
To ensure everyone is well dressed for any occasion, whether it’s casual or fancy, make sure there’s enough time to get ready. You don’t want everyone to feel rushed or to feel like you’re having to keep time before running out the door in a haphazard fashion.
Dressing for your family all year round should be an Olympic sport in itself. These tips should hopefully help you win gold every time.
