I got a gorgeous white shirt with silver elbow patches for my toddler, from zara. Pairing it with suspenders and a bow tie from h&m that are adjustable size and we've used since he was a small baby. And a pair of plain dark pants.

I don't get why anyone needs to buy any clothes for kids now. It's still summer. Summer clothes still work.

Serious question. You start shopping for fall/winter clothes once it's already cold?

Have you tried designer spot? I got coordinating cardigans and shirts for 35$. I had bought pants on sale end of season last yr...
They have a nice selection of shirts. They have nice quality suspenders too.

Old navy has a cute sweater with leather on shoulders. Looks like zara type. It was 12$ yeaterday with labor day sale...

HM has collarless shirts.
Next has pants

Girls on the other hand.... forget about it!

absolutely! And I get all the nice clothes for 70% off! And this way I don't force my kids to wear winter clothes for rosh hashana when it's summer. I actually cheat a little and buy one winter outfit when the winter stuff are 70% off the season b4 and use that for sukkos if it's cold. I think ita crazy that everyone runs and buys things b4 rosh hashana. Also I second designers spot. Found them randomly on the Avenue and their prices are unbeatable.

Hmm. It often is cold on sukkos (though this year we may need a/c on our porch). And sales begin in earnest in November. Way too late for me.

ETA: my kids are never in winter clothes in rosh hashana. I don't know anyone who is. Sukkos is a different story.

sales jn the Jewish stores start right after sukkos. And it's never cold sukkos. Maybe slight chilly so the kids need a sweater?

Zaras stuff is way too short for my girls. Maybe a top or sweater but a "cheap" skirt is 45$!!

I would still put a 2 year old boy in leggings (which are way cheaper than pants). Zara usually has some shabbos clothes options and crew cuts always has sales. Sites like my habit and zulily also have dressier clothing sometimes

It might not be cold by you, but it defiantly can be cold where I live by the time it's sukkos. And I do remember walking to shul once in rosh hashana, in the snow!

Although this year it's still hot here, but it's totally unpredictable by sukkos.

Anyway, I like to get my kids a few new school outfits (my oldest starts uniforms next year), and sukkos at the same time.

IME, the sales start closer to chanukah and not after sukkos...

Wow... I must be totally clueless about boys fashion. I just put them in white shirts ($7) and black pants for Shabbos/yontif. Occasionally I'll put on a little tie (with a zipper). Hand me down pants/shoes from friends. And I live in a fancy part of Flatbush too, what the neighbors must think!!!

Someone was trying to convince me that 'everyone' spends about $100 per outfit, once you have all the different bits and pieces...
With three kids, thats $600 just for shabbos/yomtov clothes for one season. I don't know how people do it ?!?
(And realistically over y't my kids need more than two outfits each)
I've bought each of my kids one new thing for yomtov.
My youngest has clothes from the oldest, so he didn't need much, and I ordered a pair of pants from next for the oldest. My daughter I bought a pretty dress on sale for $15 a few weeks ago.
When the weather changes more I'll assess what they still need. But for now it's a matter of swapping tights and socks or adding a cardigan depending on the weather.

It's nice and special to have something new for Yomtov, so I do like to make sure they have something. But I much rather shop around and pick things up on sale, buying slowly than all at once.

I've bought thing but not boys clothing. I got sunglasses and costume jewelry.

It's a little tedious trying to find stuff but you can find great deals if you are willing to spend time. You need to look at seller ratings. Your credit card isn't charged until you get the item so you wouldn't be scammed but like any mail order sometimes it's not what you thought it was and returns wouldn't make sense because of tje expense and hassle.

But if you see something that looks good and the supplier has good ratings, you can definitely do well.
