What makes good kids' clothing?

Good children's clothing is comfortable, moves with your child and stands up to frequent washing. Most pieces are made mainly from cotton, which feels soft against the skin and absorbs moisture. Some also contain elastane for a little stretch, so nothing pinches when your child is climbing or running around. It's also worth looking out for flat seams that won't rub and fastenings your child can open and close on their own.

What size does my child need?

Kids' sizes are based on height in centimetres: a child who is 116 cm tall usually wears size 116. The range is split into two size groups: 92 to 134 for children aged roughly 2 to 9, and 128 to 176 for those aged roughly 10 to 16. If your child is between two sizes, go for the larger one, as children grow quickly. Alongside the classic regular fit, there are also oversized styles that are deliberately cut looser. You don't need to size down for these, as the relaxed fit is intentional.

How do I care for kids' clothing?

Your child's favourite pieces will stay looking good for longer if you wash them gently and follow the instructions on the care label. A few rules of thumb for everyday laundry:

• Turn items with prints or appliqués inside out before putting them in the machine.
• Close zips so they don't damage other fabrics.
• Avoid washing or drying cotton at high temperatures, or it may shrink.
• Gently pull sweatshirts back into shape after washing and dry them flat or on a hanger.
