Kids Tee Shirts

Kids tee shirts are a wardrobe staple for kids of all ages. What's in your kid's closet?

Whether you're looking for specialty items, or you just need to refurbish your children's supply of kids tee shirts, the choices are endless. There are boys' and girls' tee shirts for every occasion. For many families, the perfect vacation souvenir item is a tee shirt advertising a special city or place that they've visited. For others, tee shirt purchases are just part of the back-to-school list that's revisited each year at the end of the summer.

While kids are often satisfied with a drawer full of shirts in a variety of colors, others only want particular brand names, such as Aeropostle, American Eagle, Gap, and Justice for Girls. However, a lot of what goes into a kid's closet is based on what works best for a family's budget, and tee shirts are often some of the most economical clothing items you can buy.

Kids tee shirts work for virtually any season. Spring and summer see an abundance of short-sleeved shirts that work with jeans, khakis, shorts, skirts, and skorts for every occasion. On the other hand, colder weather usually calls for long-sleeved tee shirts that again can be dressed up or down, depending upon the rest of the outfit and accessories.

Just because the weather has turned cold, however, doesn't mean you have to pack away your children's short-sleeved shirts. One of today's hottest styles involves layering shirts in a variety of colors and patterns. Pull a short-sleeved tee shirt over a long-sleeved shirt for additional warmth and to create a new look. Combine light and dark colors or stick to pastels. The tissue-thin T-shirts are great layering items as well. Plus, layering shirts helps you save money on buying an entirely new winter outfit. Your child's short-sleeved shirts can last through spring, summer, fall, and winter, and you'll finally see a piece of clothing that wears out before he grows out of it!

Others ways to save money on purchasing tee shirts for your kids includes the following:

• Clearance sales: Stores like Target and Kohl's are notorious for taking drastic markdowns at the end of each season, making them great places to find some awesome deals on tee shirts and other clothing items.

• Website deals: Websites like MyCoupons offer links to shopping boards that often list the best time of the week to search for particular items that have been marked down. Shoppers just like you post their finds online, so check back frequently. Don't forget to check out eBay for kids' clothing deals. You can sometimes save quite a bit of money when you purchase clothing sold in lots or bundles. Don't forget to figure in shipping and handling, however.

• Consignment sales and shops: Check out the local consignment stores and seasonal consignment sales for deals on gently used clothing. You can typically find tee shirts for a fraction of the original price, and many of these may be like new or new-without-tags.

Do you have an old or plain tee shirt that you need to breathe life into? If so, then you and your kids can get creative!

• Use stencils or free-hand designs with fabric paint on the front and back of a tee shirt.
• Try your hand at tie-dying a shirt for a cool and funky alternative.
• Add embellishments like buttons, glitter, sequins, ribbons, and small jewels to tee shirts to create a unique shirt that your kids will love designing and wearing.
• Create tee shirts that work for every fun holiday, such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and more, using paints and other fun items, like feathers, lace, ribbons, and glitter.
