Ah, kids. They enter the world without a stitch on, and as parents, it’s our job to keep them dressed. You’d think that would be simple, right? Think again! The truth is, shopping for kids’ clothes can leave us all scratching our heads and wondering if we should just let them run around in their birthday suits.
- Why does stepping into a clothing store feel like walking onto a set for a tween music video? The flashy signs! The sparkles! The mountains of apparel! The thumping music! Calm down, folks, we’re just here for some leggings!
- Seriously, why would I shell out $100 for an outfit my child will outgrow in the blink of an eye? Am I made of money?
- And why do most t-shirts feel the need to shout something — often in ALL CAPS? Yes, we get it, PIZZA IS YOUR JAM! (You’re 7; liking pizza is a given.) Are we really okay with our kids’ shirts yelling at us?
- What’s with the dry-clean-only tags on size 2T? Toddlers are basically walking messes, destined to cover everything in goldfish cracker crumbs. Dry cleaning is for adults, or no one at all!
- Why do we have to juggle coupons, cashback offers, and endless sale emails? Shopping for kids’ clothes shouldn’t require the skills of a personal assistant!
- Why does shopping in-store involve inhaling an overwhelming cloud of pungent perfume? And then we’re stuck in the longest line while feeling nauseous? The only cure: devouring a giant pretzel to absorb the smell!
- Why are all the “nice” clothes so itchy and stiff? We’ve landed on the moon and created the Internet, yet dressing up for a family brunch still feels like torture?
- Speaking of the Internet, why must we scroll through 23 pages just to find the right pair of shorts? I didn’t want to become a shorts expert; I wanted to use that brain space for something important!
- Why is everything for girls drenched in pink and glitter? Girls have diverse tastes, and not everyone is obsessed with sparkles. Can we explore the rest of the crayon box here?
- Why is it so challenging to find pajamas without logos of One Direction, Spongebob, or princess-themed cats? And why do these themes even exist together?
- And lastly, why does it feel like the designers of kids’ clothing have never even met a child? We’re not trying to send them down a runway; we just need to get them dressed and out the door!
