What are the best clothes for kids in the summer?

The answer is simple: comfortable, lightweight, loose-fitting clothing. Dressing kids in layers and avoiding restrictive clothing can help them stay cool and comfortable. But what if your child insists on wearing their favorite superhero costume?

For children who like to dress up, there are plenty of options that will keep them cool. Look for long sleeves and pants or leggings with a lightweight material that breathes well. Lightweight fabrics like cotton give kids a little more warmth than they might need but are still breathable enough to keep them cool. If you want something even lighter, try linen or blends of linen and cotton instead. The fabric has a natural tendency to breathe so it won't trap sweat against their skin.
