Classic Kids Trends for the Holiday Season from zulily!

We'd love it if you shared it!

A zulily gift card was provided to me in order to facilitate this post. Please note that, as always, any personal opinions reflected in this post are my own.

For a while now I have heard people mention zulily. I’d never checked them out, as my kids are grown and I understood zulily to specialize in deals on clothing for younger children. WRONG! It turns out that zulily not only offers items for infants, toddlers and younger children, but also items for older children and adults. So, in short, they’ve got something for everyone!

A couple of weeks ago I shopped zulily for my 16 year old son. Having special needs, he can be tough to find appropriate clothing for. His favorite characters like Thomas the train skew towards a typically younger audience. This makes them hard to find in his size. Things that are often in his size like superheroes are of no interest to him. So, when it comes to clothing for him I try to find fashionable clothing that can withstand wear and wash. It has to wear and wash well, as my son generally wears his clothing out as opposed to outgrowing it. I was very pleased to find name brand clothing like US Polo at really nice prices. And I even found a sweater for myself!

Christmas may have just passed but the holiday season isn’t quite over yet. Families and friends are still visiting. Family photo opps are still arising. There could even be a couple of winter parties on the horizon. So,besides returning to school, there are still plenty of opportunities and occasions where kids might need to dress up.

For all those parents wondering how to dress their children for the holiday festivities this year, zulily’s kids fashion expert, Shawn Redman, has compiled a few traditional holiday looks to keep your kids stylish this holiday season.

Classic Kids Trends for the Holiday Season from zulily!

From family dinners to the annual holiday card, there are a variety of reasons to get your little ones dressed up this holiday season. Old fashion statements such as smocking, are coming back big this season – thanks to the ever-fashionable Prince George. Today’s smocking looks are made fresh and new with novelty prints and details, but the classic silhouettes remain the same.

 It’s no surprise Smocking is back and better than ever. For example, you’ll see Prince George donning woven, tailored styles that represent an emergence of a more sophisticated look. Pair a smocked tee with pants (or a playsuit for an infant) for a classic holiday look.

 Bishop Dresses are another timeless silhouette that highlight smocking along the neckline, creating a sweet, softer look. For little girls, I love traditional red Bishop dresses with an embroidered holiday motif on the yoke (i.e. Christmas trees, Santa, poinsettias, snowmen). You can style it with tights and patent leather Mary Janes.

 Rompers, Playsuits, and Bubbles: These are classic one-piece garments that are perfect festive finery for infants. Style them for girls with a matching hair bow. For Boys, you can pair them with oxfords or slip-ons with knee high socks.

 John Johns are another classic holiday look for boys. They can be layered with crisp white shirt or turtleneck and paired with lace-up oxfords.

At online retailer zulily, shoppers have something new to discover each morning including apparel & accessories, home décor, toys, gifts and more. Be sure to check back often on zulily.com or their mobile app to get the best deals for the whole family this holiday season.
