Clothing subscription boxes for kids take the pain out of shopping for your kiddo’s next season wardrobe.
Whether you have a mini fashionista who can’t get enough sparkles and rainbow skirts, or an anti-shopper kid who refuses to wear anything but workout shorts and solid color tech shirts, we can all probably agree that shopping for our children’s clothing can be taxing. Add in a desire to keep out of big retail stores, and you’ve got the perfect reason to subscribe to a clothing subscription service for your family.
Children’s clothing subscription services that cater to your personal shopping needs by sending monthly or quarterly batches of clothing. Start by filling out a questionnaire that determines your child’s personal style of clothing, age and size, and sets your price range. The products naturally vary from company to company but the business model behind them remains the same: based on the questionnaire, a stylist will handpick items of clothing—shoes, socks, accessories, and other kid-friendly products—and will mail those items directly to your home.
You then have a set number of days to try on the clothes, try out the products, and choose which ones you’d like to buy and which to return (in an included prepaid package). You will only be charged for those items that you keep. The companies below all ensure high quality items and have partnered with top name brands to guarantee you are getting the best. Not all are subscription based but those that are do offer the customer the option to skip months if desired.
I started researching the different companies that offer this kind of service and as I learned about the businesses, what they offer, and how the process works, I was quite impressed. These options are convenient, affordable, and a great way to update my kids’ wardrobes, whether it’s a change in season or they have just outgrown or worn out their clothes and shoes.
