Basic wardrobe to school for a girl and a boy

Buying a school wardrobe is a significant expense for the family budget. Therefore, the choice of things for the child must be approached very carefully. Moreover, it is not at all clear how the current academic year will turn out. Rumor has it that from the second half of September, all schools in the country may again go to distance learning. So the parents' task before September 1 is not to buy too much. But at the same time, provide the student with a basic set of necessary things. What should be included in this set, read our material.

Basic wardrobe for a boy

Does the boy need costume, it's up to you to decide. Usually, parents of future first-graders are itching to buy a stylish two or three: they already really want the child to go to school in full dress. However, experience shows that this is one of the most useless things in a student's wardrobe (provided that you study not in a lyceum or gymnasium, but in an ordinary general education school).

If the kid can still stand the solemn ruler in a suit, then in everyday life in trousers and a jacket he will be quite uncomfortable. For the entire academic year (even if it is full, without removal), the child will wear the suit 3-4 times at best.

If, under pressure from grandmothers, aunts or husbands, you still have to choose a suit, pay attention to the fabric: it should be stretchable and not wrinkled. Fabric with added stretch is best. A child in such clothes will be more comfortable.

The requirements for school clothes are now quite democratic, so on September 1 it is quite possible for a boy to pick up a spectacular set in style casual. It can be jeans of a neutral "trouser color" (black, dark blue or light gray), a light shirt and a vest to match the jeans. Complement such a kit butterflyand your student will look as good as his classmates. But then all things can then be worn at random.

Instead of a "suit" jacket, experienced mothers advise to purchase a soft knitted jacket. Now there are very successful models on the market that are sewn in the form of jackets, they look no worse, but at the same time are much more practical. Unlike classic jackets, it is convenient to wear such jackets under a jacket in the cold season.

Pants or jeans (the latter option is more convenient) there should be at least three in the boy's wardrobe. Please note that in elementary school child plays a lot, sits on the floor and crawls on his knees. So one clean pants is enough for him exactly one day.

Shirts you need two or a maximum of three, no more. One ceremonial weekend (in it you will go on September 1 and will wear it on holidays) and a pair of unmarked, darker colors. Keep in mind that in classic shirts, the child is also not very comfortable: due to the cut and fabric, they hinder movement. It might make sense to buy a few instead. fake jumpers with a collar and shirt sleeves and a soft knitted "base".

For cool weather, you should buy two turtlenecks neutral color and solid color jumper no throat. For turtlenecks, the one is perfect vestwhich you wisely bought on September 1st. And under the jumper on ordinary days, you can wear a T-shirt, and on holidays - a light shirt. Here's another beautiful Oxford look.

Does the child need in elementary school accessories? More likely no than yes. A belt in daily wear will cause a lot of problems when a child goes to the toilet, so it is better to choose trousers or jeans with a thick elastic band. It's the same story with suspenders - they look beautiful in photographs, but while playing with classmates they will only interfere.

The last stage is choice of comfortable shoes. And here, too, you need to proceed from considerations of practicality. Light and even more so, lacquered shoes will quickly come to the boy in an obscene form. Therefore, it is better to choose navy blue or black shoes. You shouldn't buy classics for your child, take semi-sports shoes in casual style. They are suitable for both "going out" and for everyday wear. The only thing, pay attention to the laces. If your kid has difficulties with them, it is worth buying him Velcro shoes.

Basic wardrobe for a girl

For girls, it is important to have a different "top" (photo from open sources)

On the one hand, girls in elementary school are much calmer and more orderly than boys. Therefore, objectively, you can take less things: in the same dress, a baby can go to school for several days. On the other hand, girls at any age are big women of fashion. Therefore, you need to think over your wardrobe so that there are new elements in it every day.

Best suited for these purposes sundress Is a versatile and very practical thing for a schoolgirl. In the warm season, you can wear a spectacular blouse under it, in the cold season - a turtleneck or a tight-fitting jumper. When choosing a sundress, pay attention to the fabric: it should contain 30% synthetic fibers. This will be enough so that the thing does not wrinkle, and at the same time does not hover the child's back. It is also important to buy models with a closure on the side and not on the back. Indeed, in physical education lessons, the baby will have to change clothes on her own.

It is enough to buy a pair for a sundress skirts. They should be with a minimum number of fasteners, and for lower grades, an elastic band is ideal. Choose a skirt so that it does not hinder your child's movement: no tight, short or tight models. Knee-length skirts are best suited - pleated, with "flared" or "sun-flared" cut.

For the cold season, the girl will not interfere trousers. However, there is no practical sense in buying them now. It is possible that in the cold our children will study at home. As a last resort, it will be possible to buy additional trousers as needed (and find an option much cheaper than they cost now).

As an elegant top, a girl will suit blouse, which can be worn under a sundress and under a skirt. For a year, a schoolgirl will have enough two or three pieces of different colors and cut. Also buy a pair turtleneck up to the throat: this is a real salvation in the period of cold weather and hated scarves. In addition, take one for the girl knitted jacket or a button-down jumper that can be worn over a turtleneck or sundress.

As for shoes, the same rule works here as for boys - the child's feet at school should be as comfortable as possible. Do not take narrow dress shoes (especially with heels), but rather pay attention to round toe ballerinas. They are suitable for girls of all ages and are considered a favorite among girls' school shoes.

Also, do not forget that the girls will need tights. In the first weeks of September, it is still quite warm, so instead of tights, you can wear socks or knee-highs, but closer to October you cannot do without this wardrobe detail. When buying tights, give preference to those that, in addition to natural thread, contain elastane (optimally from 5%) - thanks to this, the tights will sit nicely and comfortably on a child's leg. Products with a catchy and variegated pattern are not suitable for school, it is advisable to take monophonic ones. But in the choice of colors, your imagination is not limited. Today, tights may well become an additional detail of the image and match in color with a turtleneck, bag or even the color of a hair clip.

Tracksuit and change

Both boys and girls cannot do without tracksuit. In September (subject to good weather) it can be a T-shirt and shorts. The classic combination for physical education is a white top, a black bottom. However, some schools do not adhere to this requirement, so you can take something from the summer wardrobe. Also, T-shirts and shorts will come in handy in the winter season, when physical education will take place in the gym. But in the offseason, you will need to buy a full-fledged suit with pants and a sweatshirt. The jacket should be zipped so that the child can take it off in case he gets hot. When choosing a tracksuit, give preference to natural fabrics (for example, two-thread cotton jersey). From synthetics during physical activity, the child will sweat a lot.

In addition to the suit, for physical education you will also need sneakers. They should be comfortable, the size of the child, with non-slip soles and made of lightweight breathable fabric (mesh is acceptable). Walking shoes are not suitable for this purpose - they have poor depreciation, and it is inconvenient to play sports in them. Sometimes in elementary school it is allowed to leave the sports forum in the classroom and not carry it home and from home. Therefore, sneakers for physical education will have to be bought separately, and not use the shoes that the child wears every day.

Concerning replaceable shoes, it makes no sense to buy it in advance. It is still dry at the beginning of autumn, so the children do not change their shoes after the street. If you wait, you can always give your child summer sandals for school. When it gets colder and the children "switch" to boots, replacement shoes can be bought at seasonal discounts. Or not buy at all, but limit yourself to those shoes that the child put on to school in the fall.
