What’s hot: Style ideas for every age, every kid
by Shandley McMurrayPerfect shirts
We’ve found tops that are comfortable, stylish and practical. This season is all about layering, says von Sperling. Just layer a long-sleeved tee underneath a hip new polo in cold weather (since it’s covered up, no one will notice the mustard stain that won’t come out) or add a comfy sweater or stylish jacket on top. As for style, look for stripes, says von Sperling, they’re hot for boys and girls. “Polka dots are the new floral for girls,” she adds. Here are a few of our top picks:
