KIDS TOPS & T-SHIRTS

At Stelle, we recommend starting with our size guide, which provides size suggestions based on age. The best fit can vary depending on your child’s body type and your preferred fit—some parents choose a roomier, more relaxed fit, while others prefer a closer, more fitted look. If your child is not average for their age or falls between sizes, we recommend following the steps below for a more accurate fit.

Use a soft measuring tape and measure:

Chest: Around the fullest part of the chest
Waist: Around the natural waist
Hips: Around the fullest part of the hips
Height: From head to toe while standing straight

✅ Tips for accuracy:

1. Keep the tape snug but not tight
2. The child should stand straight with feet together
3. Wear light clothing for best results
4. Make sure the tape is not twisted

Compare these measurements with the size chart to choose the best fit. For a more detailed guide on measuring kids’ clothing sizes, please see our article.

Yes, many of our Stelle girls’ tops and t-shirts are designed for active lifestyles. These fabrics are made to help manage moisture by moving sweat away from the body and allowing it to evaporate more easily, helping keep your child comfortable during sports, PE class, or outdoor play.

In addition to moisture management, these fabrics are durable and easy to care for. They are typically wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, and designed to hold their shape after washing. Many styles also include breathable design features that help improve airflow and keep kids comfortable during all-day wear.

The best choice depends on your child’s daily activities and needs. If your child is more active, active t-shirts are a great option, as they are designed to support movement and keep them comfortable during sports, PE, or outdoor play.

For everyday wear, casual t-shirts are a better choice, offering a soft, comfortable feel that works well for school and all-day use. Many parents choose to have both options so their child is comfortable in any setting.

To keep your child’s t-shirts looking their best, we recommend washing them in cold water with a gentle detergent. Turning garments inside out before washing can help protect colors and reduce wear on the fabric.

For best results, avoid using high heat. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry to help maintain the shirt’s shape, softness, and durability. With proper care, Stelle t-shirts are designed to hold up well through everyday wear and frequent washing.
