Children eagerly look forward to their new grades, but some parents can feel a little pressed by the requirements of the new school year (which begins in April in Japan). If you haven’t completed preparations, then let us help. You’ll want to assemble a collection of items that are easy to move in and are practical. And you’ll want to ensure they offer functionality and have adorable designs that are perfect for children. Consider these UNIQLO kids’ items, which are great for school and days off, and along with these helpful coordination tips so that your kids remain full of life and focused on having fun every day!

Coordination # 1:
Sweatshirts and Sweat Pullover Hoodies

Sweats that are easy to move in are essential kids’ items! The boy’s sweatshirt is a unisex item. The inside, which comes against the skin, is 100% cotton. The other sections are made of a cotton and polyester blend that dries quickly, so you’ll love how this sweat simplifies everyday laundering. The girl’s classic hoodie is as good as a grownup’s. It’s made of a fabric that has a vintage feel and comes with a hood that has depth. It’s soft and comfortable, too, so it’s an undeniably excellent item.

Build the styled look around this tastefully simple striped tee. Then drape an orange sweatshirt over his shoulders, and use it as the accent color. The vivid natural color is sure to catch the eye.

Coordination # 2
Oxford Shirt and Supima© Cotton UV Protection Crew Neck Cardigan

The boy is wearing a classic button-down shirt. This versatile item looks great whether as is, as light outerwear, or as an item for wearing under a knit. This shirt alone brings a trad element to kids’ wardrobes, which tend to become entirely casual. You’ll love the tastefully basic design of this girl’s cardigan because it enables easy matching to all bottoms. The item is smooth to the touch because it’s made of high-quality Supima© cotton. Other attractive features include a scalloped collar that produces a lovely appearance and a UV protection feature that minimizes sunburns!

Simply fastening the buttons fosters a trad look. For an even classier appearance, coordinate the bottoms in the same color. Even the inclusion of sneakers won’t make the arrangement too casual.

Coordination # 3
Pocketable UV Protection Parka and AIRism UV Protection Mesh Hoodie

Kids love to play outside. You’ll want to ensure their delicate skin is safely protected from sunburns, but applying sunblock every time, every day, can be time consuming. So, consider this UV protection parka. The single second it takes to pull on this parka is all that it takes to get protection from the sun. The parka is plenty stretchy, too, so your kids can still freely move about. Consider breezy light tones in spring. This item is great for creating matching looks with moms and dads as well!

Arrangements that are coordinated entirely in muted tones are perfect for kids and adults alike. If you’re looking for a contemporary look, then avoid colors that produce contrast.
