Children's Apparel Guide
Stores, clothes guides, factories, wholesalers, brands and fashion news for childrenswear and kids' clothing — organized in one hub.
To understand the meaning of children's apparel, it helps to first understand the meaning of the word “apparel”. Apparel is synonymous with clothing, fashion, clothes and garments, and footwear often falls under the same umbrella. Children's apparel, in short, is apparel made for and worn by children — sized, styled and constructed for kids rather than adults.
This hub is the starting point for the children's side of Apparel Search. From here you can reach stores selling children's clothing (including separate boys' and girls' departments), the category-by-category children's clothes guide, the childrenswear industry resources (factories, wholesalers, buyers and brands), and children's fashion news. It is a directory for the apparel industry — more specifically, for companies that specialize in children's fashion — and apparel manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers of children's apparel are welcome to create a business listing.
Shop for Children's Apparel
Start with the retailer directories if you are shopping for kids' clothing. This section of Apparel Search contains links to children's apparel retailers — brick-and-mortar stores as well as online clothing stores — with separate store lists for the boys' and girls' departments. The shopping guide focuses on online stores, many of which also have storefronts if you prefer to check sizes in person.
Learn About Children's Clothes
Clothing is part of the apparel category, and in the Apparel Search Guide to Children's Clothes we categorize the various types of kids' garments — children's pants, children's shoes, children's t-shirts and many more. The guide provides news, photos, websites and more for each category, which makes it a great way to learn more about clothes for kids, one garment type at a time.
Children's Apparel Industry Resources
If you are a member of the apparel industry, these directories are the working tools of this hub. Factories produce childrenswear such as children's shirts, outerwear, sweaters and hats; wholesalers buy from factories and sell to clothing stores. If you manufacture or wholesale children's clothing, one of the biggest challenges is finding buyers — the industry tracks them down with buyer guides such as the salesmen's buyer guide linked below. The brand directory lists children's apparel brands from leading clothing companies and fashion designers.
Children's Shoes
Looking for footwear in children's sizes? You can buy children's shoes at a shoe store or online. This section provides links to children's shoe stores, plus a few of our favorite shoe stores.
Children's Fashion News & Books
Fashion trends move very quickly. To stay up to date on children's fashion, visit the children's apparel news section — if you cannot be out in the market checking the latest activities, grab a seat and browse the news online. And reading is always a good idea: the books link searches for children's apparel titles, because the worst case scenario is that you may actually learn something. One more note from the original guide: children should stay in School.
