From birthdays, to weddings, to holidays, special occasions are always taking place year around. Rather than purchasing a new outfit for our child every time an event happens, focus on building a wardrobe on stylish, basic pieces. In this guide, we'll cover staple colors, fun-filled prints, and accessories and shoes to make the most out of your kid's formal wear.
Basic Color Pairs:

The most efficient way to maximize formal clothing is to start off with picking out a couple of staple pieces such as button-ups and pants in a variety of basic colors. This can range from white, black, blue, tan, or gray. These will act as a foundation for every outfit, as they act as a base layer for other clothing. From there, we can add on more decorative pieces such as blouses or blazers. With this combination, there are endless styles to be worn!
Cheerful Prints:

Keeping a few fun, colorful prints in your child's closet is the perfect way to refresh and recycle the same piece for many different outfit combinations. Opt for something that would look good with our basic colors such as black, blue, or tan to get the most out of your pairings. These prints are a sure-fire way to get plenty of use out of an exciting outfit for a special event.
Accessories & Shoes:
Picking out the right formal shoes and accessories can be challenging, but we're here to steer you in the right direction. Picking a simple shoe such as a laced leather boot, or some strap on ballet flats provide the perfect footwear option. These choices can be styles both up and down, and go with a plethora of outfits. As for accessories, choosing a colorful headband, belt, or suspender set is a great way to style an outfit for any formal occasion.
Optimizing your purchases is the key to building an ideal wardrobe full of stylish formal wear. This way, you'll have the most fashionable kid at every event!
