Of course, parents should always have the final say, but offering your children some fashion freedom is a brilliant way to build their independence and encourage them to trust their own opinions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that many children will gravitate towards clothes that other children are wearing &#8212; following some trends is normal at any age. Still, it\u2019s important to encourage children to develop their individual sense of style and choose the things that make them look and feel amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"confidence\">2. It builds self-confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-bess-hamiti-35188.jpg\" alt=\"Two children showcasing their outfits\" class=\"wp-image-8235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-bess-hamiti-35188.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-bess-hamiti-35188-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As adults, we know that our clothing choices can affect how we feel about ourselves. The same is often true for children. When kids wear clothing they feel comfortable and look good in, they\u2019ll move through the world with their heads held high. Even better, they might receive some positive attention and compliments for their unique style! And of course, there\u2019s also the satisfaction and pride that comes from knowing that they made a decision all by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"higher\">3. There&#8217;s a better chance they&#8217;ll actually wear the clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-cottonbro-4715329.jpg\" alt=\"Child in red beanie doing a thumbs up\" class=\"wp-image-8238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-cottonbro-4715329.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-cottonbro-4715329-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more frustrating as a parent than buying things for your children that they never use &#8212; and the same holds true for clothes. When you allow your children to pick out their own clothes, it gives them a sense of ownership over their choices. This means there&#8217;s a higher chance they\u2019ll actually wear what you buy. Ultimately, this translates into less wasted money and fewer clothes gathering dust in the wardrobe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopping together is also a great time to instil some lessons about budgeting and choosing high-quality items that will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"decision\">4. It strengthens decision-making skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/annie-spratt-ja_hJ4uG-JU-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Two children by a tree\" class=\"wp-image-8239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/annie-spratt-ja_hJ4uG-JU-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/annie-spratt-ja_hJ4uG-JU-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Decision-making is an important skill that children will carry with them into adulthood. Allowing children to choose their own clothing helps build and develop this critical life skill. Simply put, kids who have the opportunity to weigh their options and make considered decisions will have more practice, which will come in handy later in life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can develop this skill early by letting very young children choose between two or more items. \u2018Do you want to wear the blue jumper or the red jumper today?\u2019 Limiting the choices makes selection easier &#8212; and quicker, which is important when you\u2019re looking to get out the door in the morning. As kids grow older, you can expand their possible choices, eventually letting them choose outfits entirely independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fun\">5. It&#8217;s just plain fun!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-lucas-souza-2839411.jpg\" alt=\"Mother and daughter in matching pink coats\" class=\"wp-image-8236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-lucas-souza-2839411.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-lucas-souza-2839411-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, fashion is fun. Letting your children choose their own clothing can be a great exercise in creativity. As a parent, you can reinforce the lightheartedness of it all by showering your child in compliments, putting on upbeat music when getting dressed and offering fun suggestions to make outfits look even better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also model this idea in your own approach to fashion &#8212; choosing outfits based on how they make you feel and allowing your children to occasionally have a say in your choices. \u2018Should mummy wear the blue hat or the orange hat today?\u2019 After all, not taking yourself too seriously is what fashion is all about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for some brilliant gift ideas?
