What is a children's suit? 

A children's suit is a type of garment specially designed and made for children. It can range from formal attire, such as suits for weddings or other special occasions, to casual attire, such as costumes for theme parties, plays, or fancy dress. Below we discuss different aspects of children's suits, including their function, design, materials and maintenance. This way you know exactly what type of children's suit you need and when. 

1. Function

Children's suits can have different purposes, such as:

• Formal Occasions: Weddings, christenings, parties, or other ceremonies where formal attire is required.
• Informal occasions: Birthday parties, themed parties, Halloween or Carnival, where children wear fancy clothes to have fun and immerse themselves in their favorite characters (the quality of the suit is often less important).
• School or stage performances: Children can wear costumes for school plays or other performances that match the theme or characters they are playing.

 

2. Design

The design of the children's suits may vary depending on the purpose and age of the child. In general, children's suits are designed to be comfortable and durable. They should also be easy to put on and take off. They can be simple or detailed, depending on the occasion and preference of the child and parents. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to designing children's suits: 

• Colors and Patterns: Children's suits can contain bright colors, prints or patterns that are appealing to children. For formal occasions, the colors and patterns can be more subtle, such as black, navy blue, gray or white.

• Themes: For casual occasions, children's suits can be designed around specific themes or characters, such as superheroes, princesses, animals, pirates or historical figures.

• Accessories: Children's suits can be supplied with matching accessories, such as ties, hats, masks, shoes or other items that match the theme of the suit.

 

3. Materials

The materials used for children's suits are usually lightweight, breathable and easy to maintain. They can range from natural fabrics such as cotton and linen to synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon. The choice of material depends on the occasion, the season and the desired level of comfort. Fabrics such as wool or a wool blend are common for formal suits, while casual suits can be made from lighter and more colorful materials.

4. Maintenance

Because children are often active and playful, it is important that children's suits are easy to maintain. Most children's suits can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. However, it is important to check the care instructions on the garment, as some materials or accessories require special care, such as hand washing or dry cleaning. After washing, the suits must be dried to prevent shrinkage and damage.

5. Purchase and fit

When buying a children's suit, it is important to choose the right size so that the child feels comfortable and confident in the clothes. Take the growth of the child into account and prefer a slightly larger size so that the suit lasts longer and there is room for growth. It is also good to consider the body shape and comfort of the child. Make sure there is sufficient freedom of movement, especially in the shoulders, arms and legs.

When choosing a children's suit, there are several factors to consider, such as budget, quality and style. It is possible to find children's suits in department stores, specialty children's clothing stores or, of course, online at The Garrison. It can be a good idea to compare prices and options, and read reviews from other parents who have experience with certain models. See also for this our reviews. 

How do you choose a good children's suit?

There are several aspects to consider when choosing a good children's suit. We'll take a closer look at things like comfort, quality, fit, style, color, and price below. Here are 7 tips that we would like to give you in the search for a new children's suit. This way you can be sure that your kids will look chic and stylish. 

1. Comfort: The most important aspect when choosing a children's suit is comfort. Children should feel comfortable in their clothes. Look for natural and breathable materials such as cotton, linen, and wool. Avoid synthetic materials that can cause discomfort, such as polyester.

2. Quality: Invest in a high quality suit so that it is durable and long lasting. Pay attention to details such as the stitching, buttons, and zippers. A good children's suit should be sturdy and neatly sewn, and the buttons and zippers should be of good quality to prevent wear and tear.

3. Fit: A good children's suit should fit well, so that your child can move freely and comfortably. It is important to choose the right size and to provide enough room for growth. Also view our special size chart, which we have added to each product. 

4. Style: Children's suits come in different styles such as formal, semi-formal and casual. Depending on the occasion for which the suit is worn, you should choose a style that is appropriate. For example, for formal occasions such as weddings, choose a classic suit, while for a casual party you can choose a more “relaxed style”.

5. Color: Choose a color that matches your child's personality and is appropriate for the occasion. Traditional colors such as black, navy blue and gray are suitable for formal occasions and can be easily combined with various accessories. For less formal situations, you can opt for lighter colors or even patterns, such as checks or stripes, that are more playful and more suitable for children.

6. Accessories: To complete the look of the children's suit, choose matching accessories such as a shirt, tie, shoes, and possibly a cardigan. Make sure the accessories fit well and match the style and color of the suit. Avoid accessories that are too busy or overly shiny, as they can distract attention from the suit itself.

7. Price: While it is important to invest in a good quality suit, it is also important to consider the budget. Children grow quickly, so it is possible that the suit will only be worn for a short period of time. Look for a balance between quality and price. Fortunately, at The Garrison we sell excellent children's suits with a very good price-quality ratio.
