“I have nothing to wear” is a universal saying; once in a while, we all say this, and our kids are going to say it too. But making it work with what you have at hand is a real talent, and when we dress our kids, this particular talent is crucial. Do you think you don’t have this talent? Well, good news for you; it can be taught! Mixing and matching your own clothes might be easier than doing it for your child because many baby clothes come in sets, and most of them only look good when they are worn with that particular set. However, that doesn’t mean mixing and matching is out of the question for children. ‘Zach and Kiki’ is one of the emerging luxury kidswear brands and we focus on creating safe, stylish, and comfortable clothes for our little customers. Here, learn a few tips on mixing and matching your kid’s clothes with us and be a pro at styling your little one.
Colour combinations
Combining colours that go well together and create a pleasing contrast is one of the fun parts of playing mix and match. If you truly want to make it work with the clothes you have, you need a range of colours in your wardrobe. Though we shop for clothes based on our personal tastes and interests, some colours are a must-have in all wardrobes, whether it’s for your kids or yours. Black, white, khaki, grey, and denim bottoms are a must-have in any wardrobe because, if you have them, they will create infinite options for pairing. These neutral colours can be paired with almost any coloured top; they are classy and elegant, and they make mixing and matching so much easier.
Never shy away from incorporating fun prints, patterns, and vibrant colours in your child’s wardrobe. Elements of playfulness and raw creativity make kid’s clothing interesting, and these fun prints and patterns can be so fun to mix and match. Incorporating pleasing pastel colours such as powder blue, pale yellow, and spring meadow green is also a good idea, especially for tops because they go so well with neutral bottoms. Pairing neutral and vibrant colours can also create wonderful outfits, but take notes from the colour scheme to create such pairings and make sure that there aren’t more than three colours in an outfit.
Have the essentials
Prints, patterns, and unique designs are all fun, but to truly make it work with anything you have, you need all the essentials in your child’s wardrobe. Especially if your kid is a little trickster who contributes significantly to the laundry box, plain neutral-colour t-shirts, leggings, and some good pairs of jeans are a must-have in the wardrobe to create an emergency outfit. Jackets and sweaters are also must-have items because, if the weather gets a little chilly, you can layer them and create cute, stylish outfits for your little fashionista.
Separate tops and bottoms
Except for frocks, flowy dresses, and jumpsuits, most outfits have at least two pieces, and as we have discussed before, many baby clothes come in sets, and they most likely only look good if they are paired with what is on that set. So shop for separate tops and bottoms and create unique, versatile pairs with them. When you shop separately, experimenting with layering clothes will also get easier. Purchasing separate bottoms and tops allows you to create multiple outfits with a minimal number of clothes.
Accessories
One of the easiest ways to create your own little quirks and twists in an outfit is by using the right accessories, and you can use this trick while styling your little one too. A statement headpiece or hairpin for your little girl can complete the look by perfectly complementing her simple frock. For your little guy, a chunky digital watch or a nice cap might be the accessory that adds the final touch. Scarves and vests can also come in handy while styling your kid for a cold day out.
