1. Refer to size guides
Every brand has its own size guide. Consult them before you buy, and measure your child regularly (height, weight, chest size, etc.).
2. Go one size up
Children grow fast! Opt for a slightly larger size to extend the life of the garment without sacrificing comfort.
3. Observe ease and comfort
A garment should be neither too tight nor too loose. Check that the child can move freely, especially in the case of pants, shoes and coats.
4. Choose clothes that can be adjusted
Some brands offer adjustable garments with elastic bands, buttons or hems that can be modulated to adapt to the child's growth.
5. Adapt size to clothing type
Shoes: Leave a space of about one centimeter between the tip of the foot and the front of the shoe.
Coats and jackets: Allow room for layers of clothing in winter.
Pants and leggings: Check length and elastic waistband for best fit.
6. Pay attention to differences between countries
Sizes vary from country to country. Always compare equivalents (French, American, European) before buying.By applying these tips, you'll find it easier to find clothes that are adapted to your child's growth, while guaranteeing his or her everyday comfort!
