Is it time for a kids wardrobe refresh? Not everything has to be firmly divided into two camps: pink frills or blue athletics.
We’re heartened to see so many companies embracing gender-neutral, gender-free, and gender-inclusive clothes – no more putting our kids in a box. Rather, we can just let them wear what they like in the truest expression of themselves. Bonus – hand-me-downs just got way easier, a definite plus for both those giving and receiving. And these items are in keeping with a capsule wardrobe for kids, too. Here are some of our favourite picks…
Top Picks for a Gender-Inclusive Kids Wardrobe Refresh
Oversized Hoodie
We love the teen line at Gap, with sizes running from youth 8 to 20. This oversized hoodie in grey will become a closet staple, perfectly paired with jeans, sweats, or shorts.
