Since we have gone through a few years of her in uniforms and brother moving into them I feel like we have this covered! We have a school where the polos are branded so really you have flexibility with bottoms. My kids are on the tall/ skinny side (daddy’s genes not mine!) so there are quite a few brands that have been misses for us. Here are our favorites:
Target Cat & Jack uniforms
Primary.com
Although you will pay more for primary.com these are the softest and fit my kids the BEST!!! The stretch Ponte pant (far right in picture) were finally long enough but also slim enough in the leg that the size 5 fit her perfectly through the entire year. We also got the pleated skirt but it didn’t win over the Cat & Jack because it does not have attached shorts so they got less love, but the 4-5 size fit great around her waist. We also picked up the midi short but because they did not fit great (too big) and because they were more stiff they immediately went back.
This year we are buying for the little guy and since he is going into preschool the elastic waist is still the easiest for him to pull on and off when he has to go potty on this own. The other requirement for little man is working pockets, I swear at any time he has 5 mini dinosaurs packed away and the kid needs pockets for his stuff! Of course he also got the preference for “soft” clothes so anything too stiff he will fight you on. We picked up the Broken Twill pull-on short with the soft elastic waistband and good front pockets they are a winner. The last style we picked up is the Chino 4 pocket pant (far left) and we have yet to try them on but like the fake front and back elastic for easy potty runs.
I know there are a ton of other places that carry good staples for uniforms like Gap, Children’s Place and Land’s End so tell me what are your favorites! Join the conversation on Facebook!
Next time.. PBK backpacks and lunch bags what to buy?!
