Are children's designer clothing better than regular children's clothing? What about the argument that children will grow out of this clothing fast? Are the materials better? Is it worth the cost?
That depends on what you are looking for when the word quality comes to mind. Although designer clothes are more expensive, the ones that are truly worth it are not expensive solely because of the name of the designer. Sometimes more expensive clothes are made out of materials that are more likely to last longer and are more durable than other types of clothes. A cashmere cardigan, while more expensive than one made of nylon or poly-blend fibers, is more likely to last longer and keep your child warm on those chilly Autumn days. Another aspect to consider is that sometimes more expensive children's clothes are often handmade. It is a beautiful thought to know that your baby is wearing a one of a kind outfit specifically tailored for them as opposed to being mass produced on a machine.
A disadvantage to buying a designer label is that just because it is more expensive does not necessarily mean it is better, so it is best to always check labels to see what the clothing is made out of. Another disadvantage is that yes, baby's grow fast, and so purchasing handmade baby clothes will not do your little one any good if they are too big for that snuggly onesie in less than a month. Also, you can buy a lot more different types of clothing for your little tyke if you shop at a discount retailer as opposed to a boutique.
If you decide to take the plunge and purchase designer clothing for your little one, where should you go to shop? One of the best places is to scour for deals online. The Internet offers a plethora of stores selling quality designer clothes at discount prices. Often you can find coupons online as well, or free shipping if you purchase a certain amount. Brick and mortar stores also often offer discounts, particularly if they are having sample sales. Buying clothing off-season is also another trick to finding quality duds for less.
So whether you decide to buy children's designer clothing or not, make sure to buy the best and most comfortable clothing you can for your little one.
