Styled To Last / 4

3 things my kids wear quite a lot, but can be difficult to find in stores. I’ve had many questions about; braces, knee-high socks and brother jeans (I call ‘boyfriend jeans’ brother jeans when they are for my little girl) I thought I’d share my tips on how to find and get the most wear out of them.

I love the braces that come with some little boys jeans, and was bummed every time King would grow out of a pair. Sewing 6 buttons on other pants he owns extends the life of the super cute braces. We buy trousers/jeans with braces from H&M, Zara and I have seen one pair at The Gap (a few months back).

I searched and searched for little girls or baby knee high socks and found nothing. So instead I bought Harlow socks a few sizes too large, and it worked like a charm! After a few months they fit like regular socks, huge bang for my buck! I buy most of Harlows socks from H&M.

Brother Jeans just sounds so much better when talking about the ‘boyfriend jean’ style for littles. Harlow is a skinny little thing, so most of the ‘skinny jeans’ I buy her that should fit, actually fit like loose brother jeans OR she wears a pair of her bro’s old jeans. Both ways ensure items we already own get double the wear/use. The best brother to skinny jeans I’ve bought have come from H&M.

    Great tips! I absolutely agree that people should sew buttons onto boys pants so they can wear them with braces. Little boys are constantly tugging on their pants to hold them up, so why not give them some relief by installing braces for them. Its so comfortable and stylish!

    I blog about braces – everything from the various styles to how to wear them. I wrote a post on why children should wear button-on braces, in particular, rather than the standard clip-on suspenders. You may enjoy the read. Its available here – http://everythingaboutbraces.blogspot.ca/2012/06/…

    Love the blog! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Look forward to seeing more outfits with button-on braces!
