You are your kid’s role models. Talking about the fashion sense, kids develop the basic fashion sense at an early age, approximately during their adolescent age group. They develop an affinity for fashion and have clear personal preferences for color palettes and how they want to style their hair and wear their clothes. You, as a parent, should be working towards building up fashion sense that moves ahead making them be a stylish personality.  

The question is - how would you do that?  

This blog talks about the practical tips that build a strong fashion sense in your kids.  

1. Set the basics right

The basics of dressing sense in kids would be more like what to wear when to wear and how to carry what you’re wearing and more. It is like when you look forward to dressing in a way, your child will follow you. My daughter is 2.5 and she is in love with clothes shopping. Every time we go out she’d always say “mummy kapda dilao” meaning “mom buy me clothes”. She loves to dress and wants to do everything that she sees me doing. From applying kohl to moisturizer and more. 

So, be the ideal role model to set the basics right.  

2. Teach them the artistic side of dressing

Once your child understands how kids fashion dresses are worn, you can always move ahead to make them understand how they can always give an artistic turn to the same. Moreover, what matters is that when they grab something unusual or assemble their party wear, they should be confident enough to wear it and walk around in the same. Accessorizing would be the artistic touch to their outfits as well. For example, a tutu dress can be worn with a tiara or a boys t-shirt & jeans can be clubbed with sunglasses and more.  

3. Maintain the boundaries

You don’t have to always say “yes”. Sometimes you have to tell them that “this is not for you” or “this will not look good on you and you should change your choice” and more. You have to be strict also (sometimes). After all, you don’t want to make your child follow celebrities like Miley Cyrus (the-now version) and others. Hence, make sure boundaries are set.  

4. Reinforcement is necessary

 

Appreciate kids

When your child makes a perfect choice of clothes, make sure you appreciate them. Moreover, you can give them a treat (reinforcement) to give them the heads up to continue doing such things. Fashion is an art and you have to build it up eventually. When your child is on the way - the right way to put things in place, you should appreciate them.  

5. Keep the inspiration coming

Talk about fashion and make sure you introduce your kids with kids fashion dresses online to give them the exposure of what options do they have in today’s time. They’ll be able to choose better if they know better and that’s where you step in.
