Every time the holidays roll around you need to find a new list of things to do with the kids. These activities are often meant to be fun for the whole family; however, kids will always pick the messiest of outdoor events.
As a parent, you still want to keep a little bit of your personality intact while on these family excursions. One way to achieve this is by dressing in a way that you want. But surely these clothes will end up ruined? Not necessarily. Here is a list of thing that you can wear on a family day out and still look good.
Cashmere
It can sometimes feel like cashmere is the god of all clothing materials. This anti-wrinkle knitwear is perfect for outdoor activities. It doesn’t crease and it is incredibly comfortable. What’s more, there are so many varieties of knitwear that you will surely find something to match every outfit. Just look to Luella for confirmation of this. They offer a range of different fashion choices that are sure to make you feel comfortable. Cashmere knitwear is designed to keep you comfortable throughout the day and is durable enough to withstand whatever your kids get up to.
Boots
Your choice of shoes are always going to effect the type of day that you have. A family day out often requires that you stay on your feet for long periods of time. You may end up trekking through the woods, or pounding the pavement of a shopping centre.
It doesn’t matter what you do with your family, just make sure that you keep your feet comfortable. You can do this by simply purchasing a pair of durable black boots, especially since black goes with everything. Alternatively, you can also stick to current trends and adopt a pair of chunky trainers. These flat soled shoes are designed to keep you on your toes for hours without feeling a thing.
Jeans
When it comes to trousers, you can’t go far wrong by slipping into a pair of jeans. This tough material is durable enough to survive the harsh powers of nature, and they rarely get dirty. It is possible to wear a pair of jeans for days on end without them showing any signs of it.
Jeans also offer the wearer a choice of styles, the most practical of which is the stretchy jean. These are perfect for all sorts of activities, so you can chase your kids around without the fear of an embarrassing tear.
Sunglasses
Lastly, you also want to appear casual when out and about. Despite common assumptions, it is perfectly fine to wear a pair of sunglasses indoors or in grey weather. A decent pair of sunglasses signals to the world that you are ready for anything, so why not prepare these for a day out with the kids. A pair of sunglasses also comes with the added benefit of making you appear more strict. A nice addition for when the kids play up.
Summary
Just because you aren’t engaging in the activities that you want, it does not mean that you have to compromise your style. Be creative, and you can find a way to dress that is both fashionable and practical.
