Back To School Capsule Wardrobes for Kids

Every year, inevitably, my kids outgrow ALL of their clothes. So when it’s time to shop for school clothes, they end up with a whole new wardrobe. There was always an overwhelming amount of options to find cute girl clothes from sweet and cutesy to sparkly (we spent so much money at Justice up until they shut down all their stores), but there far fewer options for boys.

I’m a big believer in letting them pick out clothes that express their style and make them feel good, while getting staples that they can mix and match throughout the year. Each year, we put together a capsule wardrobe of basics that can be worn interchangeably to create different looks, and a few stand out stable like a fun pair of boots or leather jacket — that elevates any outfit and showcases their personal style.

Favorite Stores to Shop for Kid’s Clothes

When it comes to shopping for kid’s clothes, I tend to shop at the same places. Any brand or store that’s affordable but good quality is my jam, because kids grow like weeds, so I rarely buy anything super expensive for my littles. Here are my favorite store to shop for small children:

Abercrombie

Gymboree

Nordstrom

Old Navy

Rack Room Shoes

Target

The Children’s Place

Girls Capsule Wardrobe

Boys Capsule Wardrobe
