With uniforms, there’s a lot less to buy and so you can instead splurge on those extra accessories like colorful socks, belts, a cute sweater for in the classroom, or whatever else might be a good fit. Add Personality – Once you’ve picked all your essentials, you can turn the rest of your back to school budget towards letting your child express their unique personality. You can add a belt and many pants include the internal elastic tightening to cinch up the waist which will let them start with their next size up and grow through the internal belt sizing throughout the school year.Ħ. If you start with their current size, and it fits them good but with no room to grow, consider trying on the next size up before you commit. Shopping for new uniforms in the middle of the school year can be tricky as they are harder to find and not on sale. Consider Sizing Up – Your kids will changes sizes through the school year. The IZOD Fleece-Lined Jacket is warm and cozy, and great for both in the classroom and out to play for recess.ĥ.

More Pants Than Shorts – Unless you live in a very hot climate, uniform pants, like these IZOD Flat Front Twill Pants, will be able to be worn through the whole school year. We pick mostly dark colors, then one or two of the lighter colors for a little variety.ģ. If you are allowed to pick from navy and khaki bottoms, the navy bottoms will look clean and like new much longer than khaki. Pick Dark Colors – Choose the darkest colors your school allows. Any more than that will end up as overstuffed dresser drawers and lots of extra laundry.Ģ.
