You want to go to a party with your children and you are just thinking about what to dress them? We have ideas for kids of all ages and genders, and other tips to help dress little ones for special occasions.

If you are going to a wedding with your children, it can be elegant: Babies or toddlers can wear a bodysuit or a T-shirt with a tie or bow tie print. So nothing presses, everything feels as usual – but it looks directly chic. A simple, more elegant cardigan in muted colors and comfortable trousers complete the cute but chic look. Festive children’s fashion for older boys, on the other hand, can consist of a white shirt, a jacket and/or a waistcoat, trousers and smart shoes, even sneakers. You can often buy the whole thing in a practical set. Some boys really like bow ties and ties because they make them feel particularly big and a bit grown up. If they don’t like it or don’t want it, it shouldn’t be a must.

When it comes to a less formal occasion, however, the little ones can dress up in slightly less elegant clothes. Chic jeans, which can also be colored, a simple shirt or a turtleneck sweater (depending on the weather) and clean sneakers or boots are enough. The good thing about it: This clothing can be worn again and again and is not a one-time investment – and how often do you take children to larger celebrations where the outfit should be festive?

What boys have in suits, girls often have in dresses (although fashion, of course, has no gender): It looks very chic right away and you can’t go wrong with it on an occasion that requires festive children’s fashion – as long as your child feel comfortable in it. Children’s clothes are usually comfortable and uncomplicated. It shouldn’t pinch or pinch, just sit loosely and be made of a comfortable fabric. Sandals or ballerinas usually go well with it.

Even with girls, it doesn’t always have to be the pompous or particularly chic dress. It can also be a little more casual: for example with a combination of skirt, shirt and sneakers or ballerinas. A simple T-shirt, cardigan and trousers are also good for a festive casual look for children.
