hands up, those of you who seen a young girl in the last seven days walk around town in four-inch heels! or you've seen a young boy moving around singapore in a thick wool pullover. as we grow older, we learn about colours, patterns, prints, styles and seasons... but for children, there is only one thing that they know when it comes to fashion... COMFORT!

if children could run around all day butt naked, they probably would. confession time, how many of you, growing up, would run around the house in the buff while your parents chased after to put on you some clothes? yes, good times eh!
anyway, for our love for dolling up children to make them look 'oh-so-cute', let's keep their comfort at the back of our minds...

for the absolutely clueless... start by looking at your fabric / textile selections...
1) cotton: cool, soft and comfortable... it absorbs and releases perspiration quickly, thus allowing the fabric to breathe.
2) denim: this is made from tightly woven cotton... it's breathable, very absorbent like cotton but heavier and more durable.
3) polyester: strong, stretchable and durable... does not wrinkle, dries easily but it does not absorb moisture, making it hot and clammy when worn in hot temperatures.
4) linen: has twice the strength of cotton... it is one of the most breathable fabrics, making it especially cool and comfortable to wear in the heat. lightweight and absorbent, not stretchy and wrinkles easily...
more details here!
so the next time that you shop for children (or yourself) and all you want is a comfortable outfit, do keep the choice of fabric in mind...
