What to Consider Before Buying Birthday Outfits
Comfort
This is the first requirement for any outfit you dress your child in. They should be comfortable in their clothes. This means the outfit should be breathable, fit properly, and allow a range of movement. One way to ensure your child will like their outfit is to have them pick for themselves. If you’re sending your children to school in their birthday outfits, ensure it is breathable. If not, send them with an extra set of clothing.
Wearability
Many parents buy birthday outfits for aesthetic appeal. But what’s the point in buying clothes if they can only wear them once or twice. Pick birthday clothes that you’ll dress your children in often. Practical outfits are also naturally more comfortable to wear.

Style
There is no better time to experiment with different styles than when you’re young. And a birthday is the perfect excuse to buy different styles of clothing.
