Imagine the ease of simplified mornings, where outfit dilemmas are a thing of the past! And there’s no styling fee involved, and free shipping.

Here’s our essential Kidpik checklist:

1. Plan with Outfits in Mind:  

A style tip that every parent should know is that it’s best to shop for back-to-school with outfits in mind. This ensures that every piece you purchase will be worn multiple times and always looks great! Plus, having outfits ready to go makes those early school mornings a tad less chaotic. 

2. The Tops to Talk About: 

From vibrant graphic tees celebrating their favorite hobbies to long sleeves perfect for cooler days, styles are ready to create outfits with your kid’s favorite colors and style in mind. Selections for boys include sports, music, and abstract prints. For the girls? Think florals, stripes, and playful prints that reflect their personality.

3. Pants That Look Great All Day, Every Day: 

Let's face it, kids can be messy. With spills at lunch and dirt from recess, having about five versatile pairs of pants is essential. Chinos for slightly formal days, jeans for the every day, and joggers for ultimate comfort - Kidpik has them all.

4. Dresses and Skirts: 

Dresses and skirts aren't just about looking cute. They should also be playground-friendly. Kidpik offers a beautiful range that combines style with comfort.

5. Denim Do’s:  

This year, denim is not just an option, It's a style necessity! Apart from the classic jeans, look for soft denim leggings and pants that offer the look of jeans with the comfort of joggers. And let’s not forget the denim jackets – available for both boys and girls. Want a twist? Check out the corduroy jacket and coordinating skirt options!

6. Cozy Outerwear: 

A nip in the air shouldn’t mean staying indoors. From jackets for the fall breeze to denim jackets that are the perfect laying piece, make sure your child is ready. Remember to try on last year’s gear as kids grow faster than we realize! And for those unpredictable weather days, a comfy sweatshirt can be a lifesaver.

7. Footwear to Finish the Look: 

Shoes can make or break an outfit. But more than style, comfort is key. For autumn vibes, think of easy-going and relaxed shoes. And as we transition into colder months, Kidpik’s range of high-tops, low-tops, and trendy boots will keep those little feet stylish and comfortable.
