Blouses & Shirts for Kids

What kinds of blouses and shirts for kids are there?

They range from a smart piece for a family celebration to an easy-going option for nursery and school. Here are the main styles at a glance:

• Long sleeves: keep little ones warm on cooler days and layer well under a jumper.
• Short sleeves: stay pleasantly airy in summer.
• Checked or patterned: look cheerful and make small stains less noticeable.
• Plain: simple and easy to mix and match.

At Tom Tailor, you'll find styles sorted by age: boys' shirts in sizes 92–134, shirts for older boys up to size 176 and blouses for girls aged 10 and over.

What makes a good kids' blouse or shirt?

A good blouse or shirt is made from soft, easy-care fabric and has a slightly relaxed fit. Cotton is breathable and holds up well to frequent washing. Buttons should be firmly sewn on and easy for small hands to undo. A little extra room across the shoulders and sleeves means nothing feels tight during rough-and-tumble play.

How do you style blouses and shirts?

Depending on what you pair them with, blouses and shirts can look dressy or relaxed. With jeans, you get an everyday look. With smart trousers or a skirt, the outfit becomes more festive. Worn open over a T-shirt, a shirt doubles as a light jacket on warm days.
