Jump-start her wardrobe staples:
Summer is a great time to start introducing your daughter to some of her future wardrobe staples. Whether she’s four or twelve, it is never too early to start planning a wardrobe for the future. Having a few staple pieces will make it easier to get all of her outfits together. Here are a few great options to jumpstart her wardrobe. A summer-appropriate jacket is a wardrobe staple your daughter will wear year-round. It’s great to have one that matches her current wardrobe as well as one that she can mix and match with other pieces. - A couple of swimsuits can be a great option to have on hand, especially if you live in a warm climate. Ideally, kidswear should be lightweight, moisture absorbent and enriched with an anti-microbial finish, so that they can be comfortable during warm days. Invest in our tank tops, t-shirts and leggings that can be worn with sneakers or a pair of shorts during the summer.

Cover her shoulders and arms:
Shoulders and arms need to be kept covered at all times during the summer season to avoid skin burns and tanning. You can find many options for shoulder coverage at any price point. From tank tops for girl’s to t-shirts for girl’s, we have something for every occasion. Many summer outfits can be enhanced with a pair of rolled-up sleeves or a short-sleeved top. Shoulder-length cardigans are an excellent way to add a little extra coverage to an outfit. 

Add colour and character:
Girls’ summer outfits often feel a bit dull and boring, thanks to the heat and lack of layers. A pop of colour can help to liven up an otherwise simple outfit. From shirts and blouses to cardigans, scarves and belts, there are a wide variety of options when it comes to colours. If your daughter is a sports enthusiast, she can wear colours that are associated with her favourite team. Alternatively, she can pick colours that are associated with her hometown. Improve her summer wardrobe with colours and patterns that can help to make summer outfits feel more vibrant and bring out her personality even more.

Leggings for the win!
A pair of bottom-hugging leggings are a wardrobe staple that works for both casual days and special occasions. It’s also an excellent way to transition your daughter into wearing jeans. That way, she doesn’t have to feel like she’s suddenly too old for jeans. When looking for a good pair of leggings for girls, be sure to avoid any that are too tight or too loose. You also want to avoid any that are too short or too long. Our combed-cotton leggings are moisture absorbent, free of harmful chemicals and enriched with an antimicrobial finish for odour-free comfort. 

Shorts and swimsuits:
Investing in soft and breathable summer clothing for girls like shorts and swimsuits will help her beat the heat while she plays outside. These are two wardrobe staples that won’t make you break the bank. Swimsuits are a great way to introduce your daughter to lingerie. Look for less revealing swimsuits that are still comfortable enough to wear during the summer months. Ideally, they should also be lightweight enough to be worn during other seasons, as well. Summer clothes for girls are a great time to make sure your girl starts to feel comfortable in her own skin. Make sure that the top of the bikini isn’t too revealing, as it can make your daughter look more like a child than an adult.

Shoes and Boots:
Summer style guide for footwear gets a little tricky, especially if your daughter has flat feet or arches that are prone to pain. For these girls, summer shoes and boots should be avoided altogether. If you do want to get your daughter a pair of summer shoes, make sure that they have a little bit of height and aren’t too flat. You also don’t want them to be so high that your daughter can’t walk in them. She can also try wearing sandals during the winter months. In this way, your daughter can wear them in spring and summer, as well.

From classic basics such as shoes and jeans to swimwear and bikinis, you can create a stylish wardrobe for her on any budget.
