Buy primary colors. Many times
these items can be worn both by boys and girls. These items can often be
handed down. Items like T-shirts can be given a fresh look with a little
lace for girls, or an iron on sports emblem for boys.
Wait a little!
Wait until the first week of
school to buy all of your child's school supplies. Teachers often make
their own lists of what children will need. If you don't wait, you could
spend money on things that they don't need, and even more on what they
do need.
Mix and match
Resist the temptation to buy
clothing in unusual colors, patterns and styles; you will often find
that you have trouble incorporating these items into outfits with your
other clothes.

Shop smart
Before you add a piece to your
wardrobe, try to envision at least two things you already own that you
could wear with it. This should be easy to do if you follow the
guidelines of this website and choose colors from among our suggestions,
since we already coordinate them for you beforehand.
Comfortable choices
When trying clothes on, make
sure to move in them before buying. This way you’ll know if they’re
comfortable.
