Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

I am sure we all try to have a good mix of both but I know for me with my girls, comfort trumps style in the end. I just can't put them in something super stylish and have them be uncomfy. If it is sylish and comfy, that is a bonus. I myself LOVE to be comfy in my clothes.
What about you?

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

I try to get something cute and comfy...but comfy all the way!

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Sitting at home or the average day running errands then comfort

Going out on playdates, to visit family, parties, etc. then it is for style.

ETA - I also think this is easier with boys. Less accessories and even dress down clothes on them can be so stylish.... less so on girls IMO.

Both, I always have him comfortable and even on the holidays I still try to dress his comfy but I always go for stylish comfy things. My favorite brands for him are RL, Puma and I alsways mangage to get tons of cute things as gifts from Lord and Taylor. Oh and picked up some gret things for himn at the Dennys sale last year. Love velor puma sweatsuits and chunky RL sweaters!! I love dressing my son!

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

I def do both.

For school shes clean and trendy but enough that she can still play and get dirty if it happened.

Daycare, a little more casual and more for comfort.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

DD is climbing, bending, running all over the place at this stage of the game so I always have her in something stretchy and comfy (she's 20 months).
DS is still young so he's comfy when we're home and stylish when we go out (he's 7 months). haha

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

comfort. the kids are cranky enough as it is

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

If we're going out, it's always style. If we're home, it's a mix of both.
DS is still a baby, so I dress him for me really.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

For daycare. Comfort. On the weekend style.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Most days for comfort. If we have company over or are going out, we will dress him up a bit. He wears a lot of elastic band cargo pants.

For us, anything with a zipper or button is a hassle and not "comfortable" for us parents.

I think if I had a girl, I'd put her in pretty little dresses all the time though. All the boys we see dress somewhat the same but I think there is a HUGE difference in the way little girls dress.

but on the weekends or when we are going out I love to dress them up in something more stylish

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Comfort

If we are home, shopping, at the ILs - DD is in feetie pajamas!

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

For during the week at the sitters comfortable and clean.

For the weekends and or if we go out at night definitely trendy/comfy depending where we are going.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

his clothes are comfortably stylish.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Daycare comfy

out of the house comfy and stylish.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

It's funny bc with my first DS he was always dressed for style. Now it is more of a comfort thing especially if we are hanging at home or doing errands. If we are going out to functions, then he is dressed preppy!

My second DS is always in comfort clothes. He is a chubbier baby & find that if he is dressed in comfort clothes, he is happier. I do try to do a little more stylish though if we are going out to a function

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Except for holiday dresses, I feel that most of DD's clothes are stylish and comfy. I dress her the same way everyday - daycare or out on weekends.

Although these days she likes to pick out her clothes which is really frustrating sometimes!! Like today, she has a really cute outfit on and insisted on wearing cowboy boots. They totally did not go, but I let her wear them anyway.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

when i am at home.. (which is always) they wear comfy clothes

when i go out.. i put them in more stylish clothes.. i just hate for them to go to waste

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

cute and comfy

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Comfort all the way!

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

When DD (6m) goes to daycare, I go for comfort. Too many times I have gone in there to pick her up and they don't put her socks back on, so sleep and plays or pants with feet on them.

If we are going somewhere, I try to go a little more stylish. But comfort is always a thought.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Charlie's clothes are stylishly comfortable

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

Ds is fly in whatever he wears. So both.

Re: Do you dress your child more for style or comfort?

DD will complain if anything is uncomfortable so she has to be comfy, but most of her outfits are stylish too I think.
