You either love it or hate it, but regardless of where you stand on the topic, it’s almost time for back-to-school! With three weeks to go, I’ve already started my back-to-school shopping for the kids.

My oldest son Kyle is entering grade 1 (someone hold me), so besides a new lunch box and water bottle, since he completely demolished his previous ones, all I really need to shop for are some new clothes. For Kyle, back-to-school shopping also means a new size upgrade since his birthday is in September.

As a stay-at-home mom to three kids, I’ve learned a thing or two about shopping for kids’ clothes. Specifically, ensure that not only are you spending your time efficiently, but you’re buying superior quality clothes that are fashionable, durable and affordable. Not to mention, if you have multiple kids of the same gender like I do (aka #Boymom), you really need to consider the longevity of your purchases as they will make great hand-me-downs! So without further ado, here are my tips for shopping for back-to-school clothes.

  1. Shop Alone – L E A V E  T H E  K I D S  A T  H O M E ! ! ! If a scientific study were to be conducted, I’m sure that on the parents shopping “WITHOUT KIDS” graph the efficiency and effectiveness lines would sky rocket. You can walk around the store, checking everything out, and then walk around again! You can pick things up, put them down again and basically just enjoy shopping. You won’t have a shadow, someone throwing a tantrum, someone demanding you buy them something you don’t want to buy, or someone yelling “let’s go home” on repeat. COBBTS store tops jeans
  2. Buy Clothes Your Kids Will Actually Wear – This is especially important if you’re shopping without them (see point 1 above). For example, Kyle is obsessed with sports. Specifically, he loves hockey and baseball. I found several hockey-themed shirts at Carter’s | OshKosh and I knew they would be a hit, even though he didn’t pick them out himself. Whether your child is into trucks, outer space, or dinosaurs, you will find something for everyone on your list at Carter’s | OshKosh. COBB2S Kyle hockey 1
  3. Go Beyond the Essentials – Your kid needs new pants and tops but think beyond the essentials. Remember they will probably also need new socks, underwear, a rain coat, pajamas and a variety of both casual and dressier outfits. You can find all of these items and more accessories at Carter’s | OshKosh which offers clothes for newborns to kids size 14. COBB2S Kyle pj 2
  4. Buy Clothes That They Can Grow Into – Kyle turns six in September, but size six clothes will probably be a little too big on him. That’s why I love the pants at Carter’s | OshKosh that come with sizing buttons so you can tighten the waist and loosen it as they grow into their clothes. It’s perfect for stretching the usage of the clothes for an entire year. Keeping them clean and stain-free is a whole other issue!

    It is expensive to get kids ready for back to school with all they need. I remember those days well but the kids are always pretty happy with their new things.

    Time is money too and I fiind that if I know a store’s product well then online shopping can be a blessing.

    A carters/oshkosh store opened up in a mall really close to me and I started shopping there for my son. I didn’t’ realize before how trendy and affordable their clothes were – very impressed! And comfy too!
