Big Party Oz – Choosing The Perfect Christmas Outfits For Your Kids

The year always seems to fly, and it’s Christmas time again before you know it. If you love to dress your children up in Christmas-themed attire during this magical time of year, this is for you! It is never too early to get organised, and throughout this post, we’ll help you find the perfect Christmas outfits for your kids.

To Match Or Not To Match

If your children are younger, you may want to dress them in matching outfits, as they get older they may not want to do this, and you might have to opt for different Christmas outfits. There is no rule book and you can decide what is best for you and your family.

Matching Christmas Pyjamas

Christmas pyjamas are a novelty that has taken off in recent years, and a lot of families love to match in Christmas-themed pj’s. You’ll find that many retail stores stock matching pyjamas now to accommodate this demand and include sizes for the entire family, including mum, dad, kids, babies and even pets! If you don’t want the same pyjamas as everyone else at Christmas time, you can have some custom made. Most people choose to buy store-bought ones as they are usually easily accessible and affordable. Plus, kids grow super fast, and they likely won’t fit the kids come next Christmas so spending a lot of money on custom pyjamas isn’t really worth it if you are looking to get bang for your buck. Typically most will wear their x-mas pyjamas on Xmas eve, so everyone will wake up on Christmas day matching and can open their presents together.

X-Mas Day Outfits

After the Christmas opening excitement has passed, your kids will likely want to get changed for the day, whether you are heading out or staying home for Christmas lunch. It is hot here in Australia at Christmas time, be mindful of this when choosing Christmas outfits for your children. A lot of Christmas outfits you can find online accommodate cooler climates and will have things such as sweaters, scarves and beanies. You want your children to be comfortable when dressing them up. Shorts, t-shirts, singlets and skirts for the girls are all good ideas. Avoid outfits that have several layers, restricting fabric or are too tight or thick. You should choose your children’s outfits based on the activities they’ll be doing during the day. For example, if they will be swimming for a good part of the day, you could get them matching or Christmas-themed swimmers instead of doing Christmas outfits as they’ll be in them the most.

Christmas Outfits Should Be Fun And Comfortable

You can be as elaborate or low-key with your children’s x-mas outfits as you like, just remember that it will likely be hot and dressing your children up for the day shouldn’t be at the expense of their comfort or fun, after all, it is Christmas! If they are old enough, ask them what types of outfits they like and allow them to choose their own. Rather than having everyone match, you can choose a colour, either green or red, and everyone can wear what they want as long it’s the colour that you’ve chosen.
