From Summer To School: Transitioning Your Child’s Wardrobe with Kidpik

It’s back-to-school time and we’re thinking about how to take those summer looks and make them classroom ready. Waving goodbye to summer and saying hello to back-to-school means taking time to think about swapping those beach outfits for something a little more classroom-friendly.

But don't worry! Switching up your child’s wardrobe doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to their favorite summer outfits. With Kidpik, we've got tons of cool ways to help easily shift summer style into awesome fall fashion.

Here are a few ways to do it:

1) Graphic T-Shirts Paired with a Solid Hoodie

The magic lies in the versatility of graphic t-shirts. This staple in every child's wardrobe often reflects what they love most. That could be music, sports, or an abstract print. Graphic tees are all about vibrant designs that foster a sense of individuality and creativity.

As kids transition into the school year, cooler mornings and afternoons might warrant an additional layer. Pair a graphic tee with a solid hoodie, and voila! Your child is school-ready. The solid color of the hoodie allows the graphic tee to shine, creating an effortlessly stylish look.

 2) Denim Jeans and Jacket in Coordinated Colors

The universal charm of denim makes it a crucial part of any wardrobe transition. For the back-to-school season, consider Kidpik’s range of denim jeans and jackets in coordinated colors. For boys, colored denim brings a fun twist to traditional jeans. For girls, the choice between classic denim or comfortable corduroy, paired with a skirt adds a stylish touch to any school day.

It’s no secret that a denim jacket is the perfect layering piece. It provides enough warmth for the cooler days and can easily be tied around their waist or thrown into a backpack when the temperatures rise in the afternoon.

3) Layer Up for Those Who Love Shorts

There are always few kids that despite the shift in seasons, they just can't let go of their favorite summer shorts! So, how do we transition this love for shorts for cooler temps and a more transitional look? The answer lies in clever layering.

If your kid insists on wearing shorts even on cooler days, consider a combination of a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt, a jogger jacket, and a denim jacket. This gives kids the freedom to adjust their outfit based on the weather. A layered look is super stylish too!

4) Head-to-Toe Looks with Mix-and-Match Boxes

One of the most significant advantages of Kidpik's subscription service is the thoughtfully curated mix-and-match boxes. The multiple pieces allow for transition looks that match stylishly and stress-free. These boxes take wardrobe transitioning to the next level by providing head-to-toe looks that are perfect for easy mornings.

5) Swap Out Sandals for Hi-Top Sneakers

At some point, it is time to swap out sandals for a bit more warmth and protection in the playground. Hi-top sneakers are the perfect match for every type of outfit. These trendy kicks are practical for the cooler weather. They add a cool vibe to any outfit.

Kidpik offers a range of stylish hi-top sneakers that can be paired with jeans, shorts, skirts, or dresses. It’s easy as a click to add footwear to a subscription box order.
