School may be on holiday break, but it’s a good time to think ahead to the spring semester. With a new season approaching, updating your kids' wardrobe with pieces that are comfortable and appropriate for their activities can help them feel ready for what’s ahead.
From activewear and dancewear to everyday essentials, having clothes that are durable and easy to wear can make daily routines smoother. Thoughtfully chosen outfits can support everything from classroom learning to after-school activities. As you prepare for the upcoming semester, here are some ideas to help your child step into spring with ease and confidence.
Activewear for Active Kids
Whether your child is active on the playground or in an after-school sport, lightweight and breathable clothing is essential for spring! That’s why your child’s back-to-school outfits need to include pieces that let them move in comfort while still hitting the marks for style.
We’re big fans of leggings for girls because they offer such fantastic versatility. They can be dressed up or down as needed between school and play. They can also go under dresses or skirts for extra warmth and modesty while she plays, and they transition effortlessly from the winter’s cold to spring’s warmer months.
Breathable shorts are also a great item to include in your child’s back-to-school clothes. We love the flexibility of spandex shorts because your child can sport them for volleyball, basketball, dance, cheerleading, gymnastics, and more, no matter the time of year! They’re also very on-trend for spring fashion, so your child will feel comfy and confident at every step!
And don’t forget about the tops! Long-sleeve, moisture-wicking shirts are an excellent choice for the spring semester because they’re easy to layer without feeling stuffy. But it’s also good to have some breathable short-sleeve options when the weather warms up.
Style Tip: Pair all these with comfy, classy sneakers to complete the look with a stylish touch!
Dancewear That Moves with Them
Does your little girl have big dancing dreams for the semester ahead? Then you’re in the right place! Help her crush those springtime goals with gorgeous dancewear that stands up to hard practices and performances!
Our beautiful and comfy dancewear pieces are the perfect choice for school recitals, extracurricular practice, and even daily wear, making them great additions to her back-to-school outfits!
Our ballet leotards come in many lovely, opaque colors and feature skin-friendly double-bodice linings and cozy blends of cotton and spandex to keep her comfortable for hours on end. We also offer a wide variety of styles, with straps and bows, long and short sleeves, and permanent and removable tutus so that you can find the perfect option for your child’s level and needs.
We also offer many adorable ballet skirts that your child can mix and match with her favorite leotards to meet her dance class's requirements or create a chic look that’s all her own!
Last but not least, don’t forget the tights! Especially during winter months, tights are essential for school and dance. Our stretchy, opaque tights are soft and breathable, providing unrestricted movement without becoming loose. We offer footed, convertible, and footless options so your little dancer can choose the best fit to support her dancing goals and match her favorite back-to-school outfits!
Style Tip: Many of our leotards double as cute tops during school, so she can simply switch to a tutu and be ready to go!
Versatile Back-to-School Shoes
Never underestimate the importance of functional, stylish, and comfortable back-to-school shoes for your growing child! She needs all three to feel confident and thrive in her school environment, whether she’s walking the halls or playing outside.
We recommend cozy boots and practical Mary Janes to maximize her spring back-to-school outfits. Faux fur boots are a great choice for the colder months before spring officially arrives—just make sure you choose something with a sturdy, non-slip sole that’s safe for playing outside. But Mary Janes are a stylish choice for any time of the year, bringing classic style to every outfit.
Style Tip: Choose neutral-colored shoes for the most versatility so your child can wear them with any outfit.
Layering Essentials for Unpredictable Spring Weather
The hardest part about planning for spring back-to-school clothes is the weather. The spring season can be very unpredictable, between winter snowstorms and spring rain showers. That’s why layers are so important!
It’s easy just to throw on a coat during winter months, but when it’s time for spring fashion, we recommend lightweight layering pieces, like zip-up hoodies, cardigans, and light jackets. Be sure to pick a style your child likes that she can easily take on or off as needed as the weather changes.
Style Tip: Choose items in soft pastels or neutral colors to make sure they easily mix and match with the rest of your child’s back-to-school wardrobe.
Mix-and-Match Spring Outfits
Versatility and simplicity are two additional key factors to consider when choosing back-to-school clothes. You and your child will appreciate quick and easy mornings that don’t include piles of discarded clothing on the floor!
To match spring fashion trends, be sure your daughter has a few cute and comfy day dresses in her closet. These are easy to grab and go because all she has to match is her shoes and maybe a pair of cozy tights! We recommend a couple of long-sleeve options for colder months and shorter sleeves for springtime.
Leggings are also necessary for any little girl’s wardrobe because they maximize comfort and go with almost everything! She can match them to her favorite t-shirt, sweater, dress, or tunic top and be out the door in no time while knowing she can freely run and play as she likes. Grab a few pairs in neutral colors to make her back-to-school outfits even easier to mix and match.
Finally, don’t forget the shorts and skorts! When warmer weather comes around, some versatile shorts and shorts are a must. Choose options with enough style to be fun but simple enough to match all her favorite warm-weather t-shirts. For a perfectly springtime look, we love flowy shorts that give her plenty of free movement to play in the sunshine!
Style Tip: Let your child choose some fun, bright accessories to channel those springtime vibes and complete her go-to looks.
