What is trending in kid's wear?

Do I want my kids to look good for events, Christmas, thanksgiving service, family reunion?
Of course I want the girls to look cute for these things, but I also want them to be comfortable because nothing looks less candid or sweet than your child tugging at itchy clothing or crying about a tags.
HOW TO SHOP FOR YOUR KIDS
1. Pick a general color scheme.
Because my girls all look different and have different coloring, many things I bought for jasmine don’t look that great on Julia. Over the years, I’ve discovered that I really like all three of them in blues, whites, and reds (and I like that those colors also tend to work well year-round and for many major holidays), so I choose the majority of their clothing in those colors so that things work well together and flatter the next little sister who gets the hand-me-downs, plus it’s easy to add a few things in other colors as those show up. Plus, when there are family photos, it’s pretty easy to coordinate everyone because the majority of their closets are in similar color schemes.
2. Choose fabrics that will hold up to years of washing and wearing.
I know all the clothes I get for jasmine is destined to be passed on to her other sisters, so I get clothes that still look good even after wearing and washing it for years.
3. Pick classic shapes and patterns with fun details.
4. Be aware of what they like to wear.
Jasmine is a lover of skirts, she doesn't like anything called gowns, she wears skirts everyday of the week. Julia, on the other hand, loves gowns, always wearing gowns. Even though, I try to submit to what my kids like, I still get them what I think might be good for them which falls into the categories of what I like too.
Timeless fashion styles for kids include graphic tees, cardigans, jeans, cargo shorts, denim jackets, and leggings. For footwear, boots, loafers, and sneakers in classic colorways will still be popular. These timeless fashion items provide an easy-to-pull-off look that will never go out of style.
