The ideal strategy is to choose summer camp clothes for girls that are lightweight, easy to fold, and can be coordinated together–packing a streamlined set of mix-and-match garments in high-quality cotton that won't be creased when unpacked is essential.
]]>The ideal strategy is to choose summer camp clothes for girls that are lightweight, easy to fold, and can be coordinated together–packing a streamlined set of mix-and-match garments in high-quality cotton that won't be creased when unpacked is essential.
From there, you'll need to think about those all-important accessories. Our tip is to check the summer camp guidance beforehand to see what items they require all children to bring and what they don't allow. For example, many camps have strict rules on cell phone use.
Our biggest summer camp essential is bedding. While camps always provide beds and linen within their accommodation, many children want to personalize their sleeping space or rely on home comforts to help them relax and wake up refreshed for a new day of adventure.
A squishy teddy or pillow is a great idea, doubling up as a snuggle buddy. If your daughter finds it hard to sleep, you may consider packing a silk eye mask that won't irritate her skin, a pair of super-soft sleep socks, and a book or tablet loaded with her favorite stories.
The weather can be unpredictable, so along with comfy clothes, swimwear, sneakers, and hiking shoes, you'll need to pack some high-SPF sunscreen and a sun hat for outdoor activities. A refillable water bottle is also a great idea, so your daughter can refill it each day and have a water supply always on hand.
Camps often have spare raincoats, but packing your own will ensure your child isn’t caught in a downpour. Adding a pair of sunglasses and a small battery-operated fan will help take the edge off the heat when the sun is shining.
Most kids have an incredible time at summer camp and have little time to spend on hair and makeup. While toiletries are essential, you can also provide some great parental tips on braiding hair, using water-absorbent hair ties after swimming, and using dry shampoo for days when your child is having so much fun she doesn't want to wash, dry, and style it.
For older girls and teens, a pot of SPF lip balm, waterproof mascara, and SPF-tinted moisturizer should ensure they feel relaxed, confident, and happy.
A stash of extra hair ties, a good quality hairbrush, and pins for girls with longer hair are always handy, along with a headband to keep your daughter’s hair out of her face during more adventurous events such as hiking or kayaking.
If the camp is somewhere warm, it’s also worth packing plenty of bug repellent or stickers infused with repellent spray–these can make a huge difference during overnight camping trips or when your daughter is attending a camp close to water where mosquitoes are inevitable.
We've talked about books or a tablet, and it's a good idea to pack a few things your daughter can do during quieter evenings. Board games are a brilliant way to make friends and socialize, and a travel-size game or pack of cards will slot neatly into a bag without taking up lots of space.
Other items we’d suggest include:
If your daughter loves to keep her hands busy, you might also consider packing a fidget toy or embroidery thread for friendship bracelets, so she'll always have something fun to do or share with her new friends!
]]>Our advice would be to pack a range of mix-and-match basics with one special outfit as most camps will have a celebration night or dance. Packing travel-size toiletries can save room, and we've included a list of suggestions below as a quick and easy checklist.
The key tip is to think about how long camp will last and to pack sunscreen and a raincoat so your child will have a fantastic time–whatever the weather.
If you have only one camping bag or suitcase, you need to be selective. Choosing lightweight girls’ summer camp clothes, a swimsuit, flip-flops, sneakers, and hiking boots will cover all the bases.
Our newly curated selection of Summer Camp Essentials is an ideal place to shop, with everything from cute, everyday camisoles and comfortable, supportive bras to joggers, hoodies, and summer shorts.
Along with a number of shorts, camisoles, and tees, we always suggest packing hoodies and joggers. Even in the height of summer, the evenings get cool, and it's not so much fun sitting around the campfire when there’s a cold chill. Camps often recommend loose, comfortable jogging bottoms because mosquitoes and other pests come out during the early evening, and joggers can keep bug bites at bay.
It’s also worth considering one or two plain white tees or camisoles. Many camps encourage the children to decorate their own tops to participate in team events, or even try their hand at tie-dying, so you'll want a low-cost tee you won't mind being customized.
If this is your daughter’s first time at summer camp, it’s natural to feel a little apprehensive, but adding a few home comforts and thoughtful summer camp accessories can make a massive difference!
Camps often don’t allow mobile phones, so we’d recommend:
Packing a couple of books or a tablet will ensure your child always has something to read when relaxing or traveling, and headphones are a good call if your daughter loves listening to music. You can also never overestimate the number of snacks your daughter will need! If in doubt, you can pop in a pre-charged payment card or a backup cash supply for any extra essentials or items from the camp shop.
We’ve mentioned must-haves like sunscreen, and you'll also want to pack toothpaste and a toothbrush, bug repellent, and a few basics like shampoo, face wash, and shower gel. Miniature travel-size bottles are a good space-saver, and you can check whether the camp has an on-site shop where you can purchase items for your daughter in advance to pick up on arrival.
Our final tip is to pack a stuffed teddy, framed photo, or another much-loved comfort item–even if your daughter doesn't see it until she arrives. Being away from home can be tough, so she'll know you're thinking of her and wishing her the best summer ever!
]]>Consolidating items for your daughter's summer camp wardrobe is a great way to save space. Mix-and-match colors, easy-to-wear lightweight fabrics, and comfy extra layers work together perfectly.
Let’s run through our top summer camp essentials for girls so you can pack all the clothes your daughter will need without worrying you've missed anything important.
As we’ve indicated, working with one cute color palette makes life so much simpler. Rather than putting together ten separate outfits that your daughter will want to wear, you can pack matching items so she can choose whatever she’d like based on her mood, the activities for the day, or the weather.
For example, you might choose a capsule wardrobe including:
When summer camp weather is warm and hazy, a pastel pink camisole paired with shorts in a lilac shade will look perfect, paired with flip-flops, sneakers, or hiking shoes. Those same garments pair just as well with joggers for cooler evenings or a hoodie thrown over the top for early morning breakfasts.
This principle applies to every child, whether your daughter likes bright, bold colors that show her personality or simple neutrals made from the softest cotton fabrics.
Most camps will have one event or celebration, so it’s best to pack a special outfit your daughter will feel dressed up in–something pretty and comfortable to move in is ideal, like a floaty skater skirt with Converse or a beautiful, embroidered top to make shorts or her favorite jeans a little smarter!
For everyday wear, our focus would be comfort as so much of summer camp is focused on group events and being a great team player.
Next, we’ve listed some of the most popular activities your daughter will have the chance to join in with at summer camp and outfit advice for each.
Watersports are one of the most exciting summer camp activities, whether a gentle kayak around a lake, the thrill of sailing down a fast-moving river, or learning to build a raft as a team to cross a stream. While swimsuits are a must-have, it's also a good idea to pack some lightweight shorts or camisoles that can be rolled into a small backpack. When the kids are back on dry land, they'll want to change out of their wet clothes as quickly as possible.
Top tip: Children of all ages must wear safety helmets, life jackets, or buoyancy aids for water-based camp activities. If your daughter has sensitive skin, we recommend a soft cotton tee to prevent rubbing.
Walking trips are part of camp life, and seeing the view from the top of the nearest hilltop or mountain range is a great experience for kids! Along with sturdy walking shoes, thick socks to keep blisters at bay, and a sun hat, we'd suggest loose-fit shorts that won't rub or chafe.
Our Rozie Short is available in a series of bright, cheerful prints, or the Midtown Short is great for stylish girls who love the button accents running down the front. These are far more comfortable than denim or stiff synthetic fabrics!
Top tip: Although camisoles are the best way to keep cool during summer hikes, we suggest packing some lightweight cotton tees. These protect your daughter from sunburn since most children forget to reapply sunscreen, especially when concentrating on a challenging climb.
There is something truly magical about a child's first overnight camp, out in the wilderness, sharing stories around a fire, and learning so much about themselves and their friends. Even in the middle of summer, the chill in the evening can feel frigid, so we'd suggest packing a soft-lined hoodie and a pair of joggers. These can be worn over daytime clothes or back up the warmth of PJs as sleeping bags aren't always the coziest!
Top tip: Pack a pair of slipper socks for kids with cold toes at night and a soft, squishy teddy that doubles as an extra pillow.
]]>As a parent, choosing the right girls' hoodies for school may feel a little overwhelming–which is why we’ve put together some tips for moms looking to make the perfect choice for their daughters.
Choosing the right hoodie can give your girl a bunch of advantages at school, including:
Hoodies are a comfortable wardrobe choice, allowing your daughter to focus on her schoolwork rather than being distracted by her clothes. They also allow her body to move freely, making hoodies great for staying busy and active. They are great for layering over a t-shirt or thinner top for added warmth as needed in the cooler months.
There may also be a connection between body confidence and hoodies, which is why choosing the right fit and style is so important. You want to make sure your daughter feels comfortable and confident rather than tempted to hide in a hoodie that is too large or shapeless.
As well as being comfortable and easy to wear, hoodies are a practical piece of clothing that can be easily added or removed to an outfit without fuss. Having a hoodie around ensures that she always has something to throw on at a moment's notice and that she is ready for anything life has to throw at her.
As with any item of clothing, hoodies come at a range of price points. As your tween morphs into a teen, brands will become more important, too. With all these changes happening at lightning speed, you want to get the most for your money without worrying that your daughter is lacking in essential schoolwear items.
So, how do you make sure that you invest in the best hoodies for your daughter and help enhance her school experience as much as possible? Some of the main factors to consider include:
Color is one of the most important considerations when purchasing any item of clothing. However, when it comes to school, there may be rules and regulations about what can and cannot be worn. For example, some schools may prohibit very bright, loud colors, while others will not allow bold patterns, logos, or slogans.
Make sure you check if there is a dress code at your daughter’s school and make your purchases accordingly. Do your homework and choose the right item to comply with any rules.
You also need to ensure that you buy pieces that are a good fit for your daughter. Don’t forget to consider other items of clothing (such as coats and jackets) that your child may wear with the hoodie. Opt for a size that has room to grow, and choose a hoodie specifically designed for girls. These are usually shaped slightly differently to suit the female body and can be more flattering than a bulky boys’ hoodie.
There are two main types of girls' hoodies: those that can be pulled over the head and those that zip up at the front. The best option will ultimately depend on your daughter's preferences. If she struggles with zippers, a pullover option such as the Downtown Hoodie from Yellowbetty can be a great solution. An image-conscious tween may want a zip-up so putting it on won’t wreck her hair.
Choosing the right hoodie for school will equip your daughter with a practical wardrobe staple that can be added to almost any outfit and is sure to become an essential part of her school life for many years to come. Yellowberry has you covered–check out our selection of closet staples made just for teen and tween girls today!
]]>Giving her this space to make her own fashion decisions will let her confidence soar and ensure that she is confident and happy in her own skin (even in casual clothing, like the best hoodies for tweens).
Put simply, ‘body confidence’ refers to the ability to accept and love yourself just as you are without constantly wanting to change or alter the way you look. This can be a challenge. We all have things about our appearance that we wish to change, and this can be particularly tricky for teens and tween girls who are adjusting to body changes.
Understanding personal style can, however, play a major role in helping boost overall self-confidence and a feeling of attractiveness and value.
So, how can you support your daughter in being the best version of herself? Here are some great tips to consider:
One of the main ways to help your teen or tween feel more confident is to work with her to find her own unique style. At this age, your daughter is still working to discover who she is, what she likes, and how she wants to present herself to the world. Establishing a clear sense of personal style is a key part of this process.
Help her reflect on aspects of her life such as the music she likes, the colors she enjoys, and the clothing styles she gravitates toward. Look at celebrities and public figures for inspiration. Is there a role model she looks up to, and can you help her emulate this person’s style? By encouraging your daughter to remain true to herself, you can help her build a strong sense of self-worth, which will also increase her confidence.
Comfort is key, so try to help her establish a style that combines fashion and function in every look suitable for various occasions. For example, when choosing girls' hoodies for school wear, opt for a cut, fit, and size that flatters your daughter and helps her feel comfortable by making sure it is neither too large nor too small.
Feeling comfortable is the key to feeling confident. Avoid clothes that are too small or make your daughter feel exposed when wearing them, and work together to build a flattering, comfortable, and practical wardrobe.
If she asks if a hoodie is a good gift for a friend, you can confidently tell her it is. A Downtown Hoodie from Yellowberry can help your daughter (and her friend) feel stylish and is practical and functional enough to be used for a range of other activities–from running and hiking to skating and painting.
Fashion is a popular topic among teens and tweens, and daughters will likely pay close attention to trends and styles, fabrics, and changing looks. However, it is important for her to also build and develop interests that are not tied so closely to how she looks to establish a healthy balance in her life.
Helping your daughter build and develop body confidence can be challenging. With these tips, however, you will be ready to help your daughter build a strong sense of body confidence that will benefit her for the rest of her life. Yellowberry’s style staples are here to help–check out our selection of the perfect go-tos for any teen or tween girl today!
]]>Girls' hoodies are a great gift. They are comfortable and designed to be a timeless clothing style, as well as a practical piece your daughter can use for years to come. If you are looking for the perfect girls' hoodie to give to your daughter that is still on top of fashion, we have the ultimate guide to help you pick the perfect hoodie.
One of the most important considerations when choosing the perfect hoodie gift is to make sure that you get the right size. There is a difference between girls' and boys' hoodies regarding sizes and shapes. Girls’ sizes tend to run smaller, are more fitted, and have fewer choices, whereas boys' hoodies tend to be more boxy and come in more sizes.
It is also important to factor in body confidence and hoodies. Make sure you know whether your daughter would rather size up for a more casual, relaxed fit, or whether she is comfortable with a form-fitting design. This will vary from girl to girl, so do a little research to make sure you find a size and cut that helps your daughter look and feel her very best.
Getting the right color is another important factor in choosing a fashionable hoodie that is flattering for your daughter. The shades that are in style can change from season to season, but you can help ensure that your gift is timeless by choosing colors that suit your daughter's complexion, hair or eye color, and sense of style.
Just as colors fall in and out of fashion, the trend for plain or patterned clothing can also vary. Do your homework to see what is in style. Generally speaking, a plain option will be more timeless and classic, but cute patterns can add a touch of playfulness while still fitting with the aesthetic and style your daughter prefers.
Girls' hoodies come in two main styles: pullover or zip-up. Both have their pros and cons.
When gifting a hoodie, it is once again important to consider the preferences of the recipient. Does your tween or teen spend time doing her hair and makeup? Does she want to look polished and perfect at all times? If this is the case, a zip-up design may be the best solution. It eliminates the need to pull the hoodie on and off over her head, which can mess up her hair and makeup.
Pullover hoodies, on the other hand, are a warm and cozy solution if your daughter is the outdoorsy type. They can also look super stylish and cute with the right pair of jeans.
So, is a hoodie a good gift? The answer is a resounding yes! When chosen thoughtfully, a high-quality hoodie can be a great addition to your daughter's wardrobe. Downtown Hoodies from Yellowberry allow her to combine functionality and fashion!
]]>If you are a mom looking to buy girls' hoodies for the first time, then you are in the perfect place. We have the tips and advice you need to make the right choice and ensure that the item you pick is the best for your daughter.
The differences between hoodies for girls and boys are few because they are usually considered unisex clothing. Depending on the designer, however, there may be slight variances, including the following:
As we mentioned, the shape of hoodies can be slightly different for girls and boys to reflect the natural body shapes of each. This tends to be more noticeable in sports hoodies, where a better fit can impact performance. You may notice shape differences with more casual items, too.
Hoodies for boys will typically be wider, more rectangular, and tend to hang straight down when worn. Girls' hoodies, on the other hand, are often slightly more fitted to follow a girl’s natural curves. You may want to buy a size larger if your daughter prefers a more relaxed look and feel.
Another key difference between boys' and girls’ hoodies is the variety of sizes available. Boys will generally have a much wider variety of sizes to accommodate those who haven’t had their growth spurt yet and those who are already almost the size of a full-grown man. Girls' hoodies typically run smaller and may have a small number of options in terms of size.
Sleeves and shoulder spans also tend to be narrower in girls' hoodies, so you may have to size up if your daughter has particularly long arms or is growing quickly. This is particularly important if she is planning on layering hoodies with jackets because a little extra room may be needed.
One difference that can be frustrating is the difference in quality of some brands when it comes to boys' versus girls’ hoodies. While things are improving, many manufacturers still use sturdier, thicker material for boy hoodies. Girls' hoodies, on the other hand, can often be a little flimsier and less durable. If you have a daughter who is busy and active, check out the Downtown Hoodie that was recently introduced as part of Yellowberry’s new loungewear collection for girls for a garment made to last.
Another difference that can sometimes be seen on hoodies is the placement of the zipper tab. It used to be that men’s zip-up hoodies would have the tab on the right-hand side, while girls' would be placed on the left. This seems to be less common in modern designs and does not have an impact on the comfort of the hoodie itself.
Color is another area that is improving, but there are still brands and designs that offer limited color palettes for girls' and boys’ hoodies because they tend to follow traditional norms. This can make it a little tricky to find the perfect look, particularly if your daughter is a fan of bright colors!
The most common layering garment that goes with hoodies are jackets. To properly style these two, it’s important to consider proportions and to play with textures, patterns, and colors. In this guide, we’ll dive into fashionable warmth as we tackle how to layer hoodies with jackets.
Some think that hoodies are considered jackets, but these two pieces of outerwear are distinct in look and function. For one, hoodies, as their name suggests, come with a hood. Jackets often don’t. Hoodies are also more relaxed and baggy in fit, while jackets tend to have more structure. Additionally, hoodies can come in zip-up, pullover, cropped, or oversized styles, and are generally designed for ease of wear, while jackets come in various looks but usually feature details like clasps, buttons, or snaps for a more polished appearance.
Furthermore, hoodies are typically more casual wear, used for light activities, sports, or lounging. Jackets, on the other hand, are more versatile because they’re suitable for use on more occasions and offer better protection from the elements.
Jackets can definitely be worn over hoodies! A hoodie can act as a first layering piece that your daughter can wear on top of a regular shirt. Then, she can finish off her outfit with a jacket for extra warmth on cold days.
Layering hoodies with jackets can get tricky because you don’t want your daughter to look like she’s being swallowed by her clothing. Here are some tips to make sure that this layering combo looks chic on her while still keeping her warm:
An easy way to get lost in the bagginess of two outerwear layers is to not rule in proportions. You want to make sure that the pieces you’re layering complement each other in size and shape. For example, a cropped hoodie will likely look great with a regular-sized jacket, while a standard hoodie might work better with something a bit larger or longer.
Note that there is a difference between girls’ and boys’ hoodies, too, so depending on the type of hoodie your kid has (she might have a boys’ hoodie for an oversized look), you’ll have to factor this shape variation, as well.
To make your daughter’s layered outfit more interesting to the eye, play with textures and patterns in the overall look. If she’s wearing a plain cotton hoodie, you may want to layer on a leather jacket or a corduroy piece.
Layering hoodies and jackets can look extra chic when there’s a cohesive color scheme in the overall look. You can have your daughter don a monochromatic style by sticking to one general hue, or you can let her be more creative by mixing and matching blocks of bright colors.
Fashionable warmth starts with an excellent base piece, like Yellowberry’s new Downtown Hoodie. Made with high-quality materials and featuring a front cross-hood detail, it’s designed to be both stylish and functional in itself. Find your daughter’s next fashion staple on our website today!
]]>As a general rule, it’s recommended to get a hoodie two sizes bigger than your usual size to get the perfect oversized look. However, it’s best to still be exact about it so that you don’t get something that’s too big.
To get the sizing right, take your daughter’s measurements, then match them against the size guide of the hoodie brand, opting for one that’s slightly bigger all around. If she already has an oversized shirt or sweater that she likes the fit of, you can also use that as a reference. Some brands also have a sizing guide to help you make a more accurate choice.
There are three simple steps to styling an oversized hoodie. Let’s break down each one:
Many people think that an oversized hoodie is only limited to a casual look, but you can dress it in many ways. To make sure that everything’s cohesive, it’s important to decide on a vibe. When your daughter decides whether she wants to go for a more sporty style or a more high-fashion look, she should stick to the theme. This way, she’ll look more put-together and chic.
An oversized hoodie outfit doesn’t require a lot to pull together, but it does need the right accessories to get right. When helping your daughter complete her look, be sure to add the right accessories. Add some jewelry for some femininity and pick a complementing bag. Don’t forget to pay attention to her footwear, too!
Encourage your daughter to play with colors to add some dimension to her oversized hoodie look. She can go for something more monochromatic, matching the rest of her outfit with the color of her hoodie, or she can opt for something a little bit more bold, mixing bright shades with basic colors.
Here are some oversized hoodie outfit ideas to give you some inspiration for your daughter’s next look:
Pair your daughter’s oversized hoodie with some casual pants (like cargo pants) or basic jeans for a more casual take. Have her wear sneakers and put on a hat for an even comfier finish.
If your daughter is wearing her oversized hoodie for an active activity, let her wear it with leggings or yoga pants and sneakers for optimized movement.
For a more high-fashion look, your daughter can try layering hoodies with jackets, dresses, or other shirts and pair her outfit with more interesting shoes like boots, low heels, or sandals.
A good hoodie is one that perfectly marries comfort with fashion. Here are some characteristics to pay attention to when choosing the best one for your daughter:
The top criterion you should have for a girls’ hoodie is comfort. It should be soft and breathable. Typically, you’d want something that would keep your daughter warm, especially when she’s considering oversized hoodie styling. Of course, if you need something lighter, such as hoodies for outdoor activities, you can opt for something thinner yet still comfortable.
Comfort usually boils down to the material used for the hoodie. Cotton is always a great choice–Yellowberry’s Downtown Hoodie is made using soft cotton fabric for maximum comfort.
Just like a perfect white tee, a good hoodie is an investment. You don’t want something that will easily wear out, especially if it’s going to be one of your daughter’s go-to pieces. Yellowberry’s Downtown Hoodie is sewn with the highest quality materials to ensure that it lasts a long time.
It’s a common assumption that hoodies are more practical than they are fashionable–but who said they can’t be both? Girls’ hoodies can come in different styles, from pullovers to zip-ups to cropped hoodies; not to mention the various details and designs they can come with. Yellowberry’s Downtown Hoodie features a cross-front hood detail that gives it just the right amount of pizzazz while keeping the classic hoodie look.
A good hoodie will come from a brand that you can trust to deliver high-quality products. Yellowberry is known to offer top-notch girls’ basics, and our new Downtown Hoodie is another testament to the care we put into ensuring that our stuff deserves to be in your daughter’s top drawer.
The right hoodie for your daughter will ultimately depend on her needs and preferences. To narrow your search more easily, here are some tips to help you find the best girls’ hoodie:
Sizing is one of the most important factors behind a good hoodie. The best one will fit based on your daughter’s preferences, which might not always mean that it matches her measurements perfectly. Check with your daughter to see if she’d like something tighter or looser and check the product’s size guide to see which one will be just right.
While most people get a hoodie for layering purposes, its versatility allows it to be used for multiple situations. Your daughter can use it for her outdoor adventures, when she wants to put on something cozy to run errands, or as a style piece for a no-nonsense look. Consider where your daughter will be wearing her hoodie to find one that best fulfills her needs.
As a young girl, your daughter will be concerned about how she looks, so it’s important to get her a hoodie that will make her feel confident as she steps out in it. Opt for hoodies that were made to look chic, too.
Yellowberry’s Downtown Hoodie marries function and style, and will definitely become one of your daughter’s favorite top-drawer basics. Check out available sizes and colors on our website now!
]]>It’s absolutely okay to wear hoodies for outdoor activities. When you’re shopping for her, refer to the brand’s girls’ hoodie sizing guide to find the perfect fit for her–something loose enough to let her move freely but covers her up nicely so she doesn’t need to feel self-conscious.
Buying a quality hoodie for your daughter may also be ideal if you’d like to give her some extra protection from the elements while she’s outdoors. A thick hoodie can keep her warm during cold days, while a lightweight one can protect her skin when the sun’s high in the sky.
Finding the right hoodie for outdoor activities goes beyond just girls’ hoodie brand recommendations. Here are the factors to consider to get your daughter the best garb for her adventures outside:
The most important factor in finding the right hoodie is getting the proper size and fit. It’s best to take your daughter’s measurements, particularly her chest, waist, and torso, then compare them against the size guide of the hoodie you’re eyeing.
If your kiddo wants her hoodie to fit regularly, you can just match the measurements. But if she’d rather have it tight or oversized, you may want to get a size smaller or larger, respectively. Remember to pay attention to the length of the hoodie and its sleeves, as well.
Hoodies come in different styles–pullovers, zip-ups, cropped, oversized, etc. Your daughter might prefer one over the other for her outdoor activities. Be sure to think about how each style might affect her performance and experience as she moves.
For example, a zip-up hoodie may be ideal if she’ll need to quickly remove her hoodie at any point of her outdoor activity. Meanwhile, a cropped hoodie might be better if she’s engaging in summer outdoor activities.
Consider the material used for the hoodie, as this plays a big part in its comfort. Usually, cotton hoodies are the best choice for breathability, but you might want something more lightweight if your daughter prefers something lighter or thinner.
Yellowberry is set to provide your daughter with all of her top-drawer basics, and that includes the best hoodie that she can use both for chilling indoors or moving outside. Our Downtown Hoodie is made with high-quality materials, including lusciously soft cotton fabric. It’s designed to be a classic basic that girls can don for both fashion and function. Check out available sizes and colors on our website today!
]]>You can check out Yellowberry’s Downtown Hoodie sizing guide when you buy girls’ hoodies to get the most well-fitting hoodie for your kiddo
A girls’ hoodie sizing guide will have the information you need to properly find the right size for your daughter. It will list the measurements of the hoodie and you just have to make sure that it follows her fit preferences.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find the right girls’ hoodie size:
Using a tape measure, take your daughter’s measurements. Usually, you’ll need to measure her chest, waist, and hips, plus the length of her torso. It’s also good to know her standard sizing; check the sizes of her other clothes, which can come up as either small, medium, large, etc., or from numbers eight to eighteen.
If you’re shopping online, the brand will likely have a size guide that you can check against your daughter’s measurements. This will give you a good idea of the size that would work best for her. Yellowberry’s sizing chart for the Downtown Hoodie includes standard girl sizing references, as well as the hoodie’s sleeve length and length to hem.
You don’t have to necessarily match your daughter’s measurements to the hoodie size–the right choice will ultimately fall on her fit preference. She may want her hoodie to be more loose or snug, and this will tell you what size is most appropriate.
It can get tricky to find the most perfect-fitting hoodie because its fit can be affected by multiple factors, including:
To make sure you find the perfect-sized girls’ hoodie for your daughter, here are some tips to follow:
If the girls’ hoodie brand you’re considering has a physical store, go to the location and have your girl try it on to get a better sense of her fit and comfort.
If you’re buying online, take a look at the reviews of the product, especially those that talk about the fit. You’ll be surprised how products don’t always follow the sizing guide; it’s good to get feedback from people who have actually tried the hoodies to gauge their true fit.
Consider the different aspects of the hoodie, such as the size and style of the hood, the length of the sleeves and the body, the presence of pockets and flaps, etc. These elements can affect the size and fit of the garment. Think about where your daughter is going to wear the hoodie, too. For example, if she’s eyeing hoodies for outdoor activities, you may want to opt for something a little looser.
Yellowberry’s new Downtown Hoodie is designed for both style and function. It’s made with the highest quality materials, so you’ll know your daughter will always feel chic and comfortable. Find the right size for your kiddo on our website today!
]]>With hundreds of different types, styles, and sizes of hoodies for girls, it can be hard to decide which is the best fit, but it all comes down to checking the brand’s sizing chart, deciding how the hoodie will be layered, and picking the best style for your daughter’s taste.
The first step to find a great looking hoodie is to understand how to use girls’ hoodie sizing guides. Measurements should be taken around the chest, waist, and hips, and it’s important to know that many sweatshirt sizes are based on the length of sleeves from the neckline to hem.
Girls that are smaller will find the best fit with wide, round necklines and hems that fall above the hips. Sweatshirts that are elongated, fall just below the waist, or don’t taper at the bottom will flatter girls with wider hips and smaller waists. This option can also offer a comfortable oversized look for shorter girls. The ultimate test of style and fit, however, will always come down to comfort level and personal taste.
When shopping for a hoodie, make sure to think about what your daughter may wear over or under it. If she wears a lot of oversize shirts, a form-fitting hoodie may look too small, making the shirt spill out the bottom. If the hoodie is too big, it could make it hard to find a proper jacket to wear over it.
When considering the best color for casual hoodie looks for girls, remember that neutral and darker tones are versatile and look good on everyone. Considering options that bring out your daughter’s eyes or complement her complexion can also help determine the best color choice.
Because sweatshirts are so versatile, it can be helpful to think about their functionality. Are pockets needed? Does the hoodie have a hood that will fit properly, regardless of if your daughter’s hair is up or down? There are endless kinds of hoods, pockets, zippers, and sleeve types, and each detail can add or subtract from comfort and function.
Yellowberry offers a variety of high-quality hoodies that your daughter can wear to school or when lounging around with friends. Our hoodies can be paired with jeans or leggings and go perfectly with a favorite jacket to adjust to the changing seasons. Yellowberry designs its clothes with your daughter’s comfort and style in mind, and when you find her the perfect fit, she’ll have a new closet staple for years to come!
]]>There are many different styles of girls' hoodies, from zip-ups to pullovers, that can give young women endless options for achieving a classy look even while staying comfy.
Your daughter can never go wrong by going back to the basics, and it’s as simple as it sounds. Pairing her favorite hoodie with a pair of jeans is a timeless combination. The cut of the jeans can add flair to the look, while the choice of shoe and jewelry can dress it up or down.
For a sportier look, have her match the hoodie to her leggings. Here’s where she gets to play with colors with some mix-and-match action. She can match the color palette of her hoodie for a cohesive style, pattern clash by choosing leggings with bold colors and loud prints, or stick to neutral shades for a more minimalist vibe.
Layering hoodies with jackets can also be a great way to mix textures or make everyday outfits pop. A vintage or oversize t-shirt can also be worn as a top layer, creating a fashionable look straight out of a 90s catalog.
A major role in the longevity of clothes is how they are cared for. When it comes to hoodie care and maintenance, it’s important to not wash your hoodie after every wear.
For clothing in general, the more you wash and dry it, the more quickly it can fade and the more easily the fabric will break down. Only wash your daughter’s hoodie every five to six wears to extend its life, and when you wash it, turn it inside out and use cold water with mild detergent.
Having clothes that fit correctly makes all the difference in an outfit's look and feel. Just like dresses and jeans, hoodies for different body types fit differently. The best way to ensure a perfect fit is to know your daughter's measurements before looking at sizing charts.
Unisex hoodies are the easiest to find and offer all the basic sizes. There are more slimming cuts that taper in with an elastic waist, offering a closer fit. Other styles fall straight and are often shorter in length. The style and fit that looks best on your daughter will depend on the cut of clothing that’s most flattering to her, and, of course, what she feels best in.
For every body shape and outfit, Yellowberry hoodies offer a comfortable, closet staple every girl will love. Having a comfy piece of clothing that lets her be chic while staying comfortable is a must-have for girls of every age!
]]>For young girls, casual hoodie looks are all about maximum comfort without sacrificing style–with just a few simple hoodie care tips, you can keep your daughter’s hoodie feeling soft and looking fresh.
The first step in hoodie care and maintenance is all about how you are washing it! The best way to approach washing any garment you want to maintain is to check the label and use that as a guideline for what to do.
A good rule of thumb to follow for any soft cotton article of clothing is to machine or hand wash using cold water. Cold water is great for keeping colors from fading! If there is any print on the front of the hoodie, it’s best to wash it inside out. Be sure to zip up any zippers and tie drawstrings together so they don’t get caught on anything.
Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach. You’ll notice the wristbands of hoodies tend to build up discoloration from frequent wear. You can treat the cuffs with detergent or stain remover before washing to restore them.
When you are ready to dry your daughter’s hoodie, there are a couple of options. While airy-drying is great for maintaining clothes, sometimes it’s not practical for a family on the go. Instead, opt for a gentle dry cycle of low heat so the fibers of the cotton don’t break down as quickly. If you are able to air-dry her hoodies, choose a well-ventilated area and lay them flat; hangers can warp and stretch the shoulders.
Unless they have stains, hoodies don't need to be washed after each use the way t-shirts and undergarments do. Because hoodies are most often layered with shirts underneath, they don’t retain body odors as easily.
The less you wash garments, the longer they last and hold their shape. Even though cotton is highly durable, frequent wash and dry cycles of any fabric can make clothes wear down quicker. To help prevent shrinkage and holes, wash less!
Hoodies do best when they are folded neatly and tucked away in a drawer. It’s convenient to hang them up on a hook by their hood, but hooks and hangers can stretch hoods and shoulders and warp their shapes. Thick cotton materials are weightier and will pull down on hooks and hangers, even when dry. Once the fabric is distorted, it’s hard to get it back to its original shape.
Hoodies and loungewear remain a popular style of clothing for young girls because they have the perfect mix of style and coziness. Use these easy care tips to keep your daughter’s hoodies looking brand-new so she can feel confident and comfortable!
]]>Because hoodies can often be worn in place of outerwear, proper hoodie care and maintenance is key to keeping them looking fresh for any outfit or style.
One of the best features of hoodies is that they are roomy enough to wear shirts underneath, but they also look cute under jackets and coats. They can be worn in any season, which makes them extremely functional! Layering with hoodies allows girls to customize their comfort.
From lounging at home to casual hang-outs, camis are the perfect layer under a hoodie. They are soft and cute, but don’t offer too much warmth. Layering with her favorite long or short sleeve t-shirt gives your daughter the option to remove her hoodie and still feel confident in her outfit while at school.
Avoid button-downs with collars under hoodie because they don’t sit as close to the body; collared shirts might feel uncomfortable and bulky.
Hoodies look really cute and chic under light jackets. Oversized, vintage-style denim jackets with a hoodie are the perfect look for when the weather is still slightly crisp in the fall or spring. Because hoodies tend to be thicker, look for roomier jackets. Hoodie sleeves tend to bunch up under snug-fitting jackets. If opting for a winter coat, tuck the hoodie’s hood into the hood of the coat so that they sit neatly together.
Hoodies are chameleon staples in any wardrobe. Hoodies are incredibly versatile‒they can be worn with shorts and sandals at the beach or paired with beanies and boots in the winter!
Hoodies look cute with any style of bottoms. Jeans will help pull hoodies out of the athleisure trend without sacrificing any comfort. Jeans and hoodies are great for school days and going out. Joggers will create a matching, layered look that is classic for loungewear outfits.
Leggings and hoodies paired together can still look chic and cool, but will feel the most practical for light physical activity like walking and yoga. Joggers and leggings are best paired with camis and sporty tanks that are layered under hoodies.
The shoes your daughter wears can really transform the aesthetic of her outfit! Sneakers will look more casual and sporty, while a cute pair of boots will have a little more street-style and edge.
Footwear can be just as expressive as other pieces in an outfit. Hoodies look great with some cute bracelets and necklaces. Swapping a backpack for a chic tote or small cross-body purse will help her to transition outfits from school to hanging out with friends.
Closing Thoughts
Layering and styling hoodies is a fun way for girls to play with fashion and build confidence. Yellowberry’s line of loungewear is filled with the perfect staple pieces your daughter can build her wardrobe around!
]]>Layering with hoodies with mix-and-match bottoms offers endless outfit combinations your daughter can have fun with. To get the best wear out of her wardrobe, you’ll want to buy girls’ hoodies and loungewear that are well-made using premium fabrics and materials.

Hoodies are amazing because they can be both a top and serve as a form of outerwear! What you pair them with will completely change their aesthetic. It’s easy to layer camis and tees underneath or throw a cute jacket on top. Jeans can dress them up, too, while joggers or leggings can keep them cozy.
A matching set of well-made hoodies and joggers is a comfy look you can infuse with personal style. Your daughter can go for a monochromatic look or mix up the color sets for a more expressive vibe. A hoodie paired with joggers is a great option for going from gymnastics practice to hanging out with friends. It doesn’t get more comfortable than this!
Jeans can be surprisingly comfortable and make a classic outfit when paired with a hoodie. Add a pair of stretchy denim jeans to a cute hoodie, and opt for sneakers or boots for a hip, street-style outfit. A jean jacket with a relaxed fit looks amazing with a hoodie peeking out from underneath.
Hoodies are usually worn with at least one layer underneath, such as a camisole or t-shirt. Your daughter might not take her hoodie off and opt to treat her layers like undergarments, but she can pair her hoodie with a cute graphic tee so that there is another element to her outfit if she decides to remove a layer.
While hoodies are always casual and comfortable, they don’t have to look sporty! Personal touches of style can really elevate any outfit that features a hoodie. Purses, bags, jewelry, shoes, and jackets are great ways she can play with her budding style.
Much like hoodies, joggers don’t need to be paired with a hoodie or sweatshirt for a full sweatsuit look. Because joggers are so roomy and comfortable, wearing them with a long-sleeve or short-sleeve tee under a light jacket will still feel relaxed and cozy.
Sneakers are the classic go-to shoe for a nice pair of joggers. Joggers in neutral colors like navy, gray, or black are great staples, while bold colors are a fun way to bring personality to a comfy outfit.
Our Downtown Hoodie and Uptown Jogger are the perfect pieces to build comfy outfits around and create different looks with. Whether your daughter is going to school or spending time with friends, our pieces are designed to help her feel confident and stylish–no matter what!
]]>Athleisure is one fashion trend that has stood the test of time‒dressing for comfort isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The genius of athleisure is how versatile it is; it can be functional for light exercise without looking like pajamas.
Athleisure pieces, especially hoodies, tend to have softer, more neutral color palettes so that they can be mixed with other clothing. The fabrics are buttery soft and stretchy with some practical design elements for transitioning from physical activity to hanging out or going to school.
The vintage-style fashion trends are looking back to what teens were wearing in the 90s, which means a lot of baggy clothes! Hoodies are a star player here–they can be simple but are generally made with thick, durable cotton.
Oversized hoodies paired with wide-legged cargo pants or baggy jeans is a very hip look with just enough edge. Color palettes are flexible with this trend, but black and gray are classic oversized hoodie colors that can be paired with any kind of bottoms.
Fashion inspired by the early 2000s is the hottest fashion trend among young girls right now. These throwback looks reference those baggy cargo pants from the 90s, but the tops and hoodies tend to be cropped.
Matching track and sweat suits are cozy and comfy and come in colors like bubblegum pink, bright lavenders, and baby blue. Y2K is all about girly–very casual outfits are paired with bold, fun accessories and textures. Bedazzled hoodies and joggers are signature Y2K garments!
Hoodies come in a variety of cuts and styles. From pullovers to zip-ups, hoodies can change the aesthetic of any outfit. Soft cotton and cotton blends are the most common fabric for hoodies, no matter the current trend.
Cropped hoodies are very popular with tweens and teens! These shorter cuts of hoodies are stylish and pair well with jeans or joggers. For young girls, they come in relaxed but flattering fits that hit just above or at the hip. Cropped hoodies are available as either pullovers or zip-ups, but cropped styles don’t often feature kangaroo pockets. Classic kangaroo pockets are more practical for standard cut or oversized hoodies.
In a Nutshell
Young girls are eager to try out all the latest fashions. Our Downtown Hoodie ticks all the boxes for any popular trend–it’s comfortable, cozy, and comes in classic neutrals or exciting pink and purple. It’s the perfect piece to layer with any outfit so your daughter can feel confident expressing her personal style!
]]>The versatility of loungewear in different settings allows your daughter to always be on trend. We took a closer look at the pros and cons of both options, as well as some expert tips to ensure that your daughter looks and feels her best in her loungewear.
‘Coordinated outfits’ refer to outfits in which the entire look is designed to match. You may have seen examples of this style in stores such as J.Crew or Anthropologie. While these looks can be really lovely and stylish, coordinated outfits can be a bit tricky to put together.
Some of the main pros of this look include:
In most cases, opting for a coordinated outfit will give your daughter a more polished and finished look. By matching everything from top to bottom, she will avoid any confusion or mismatches, which can often look messy.
If your daughter is attending an event such as a party or fancier dinner with the family, coordinated outfits are a great way to ensure that she looks her best. Not only will everything look clean and put-together, but she will also be able to avoid any fashion faux pas.
While there are a number of pros to wearing coordinated outfits, there are also a few cons to consider:
If your daughter wants to rock a coordinated outfit, she will likely need to spend some time putting it together. This can be time-consuming.
While coordinated outfits can be very stylish, they can also be a bit more limiting in terms of creativity. If she wants to mix things up a little, coordinating outfits may not be the best option for her.
Another popular option is the mix-and-match look. As the name suggests, this style refers to wearing items from different patterns or colors together. These outfits can be a great way to create a more versatile and personal look.
A few benefits of mix-and-match outfits include:
When your daughter mixes and matches different pieces, she will be able to create a more experimental and unique look. This can be a great way to stand out from the crowd and can also help her to feel more comfortable or confident in her clothing choices.
Unlike coordinated outfits, mix-and-match options can be more versatile, as she can wear them in a variety of different situations and settings without feeling limited.
Compared to coordinated outfits, mix-and-match options are generally less time-consuming to put together, allowing her to simply get up and go without stress.
Ultimately, both coordinated and mix-and-match outfits have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no reason that your daughter’s closet shouldn’t be packed with both options! Often, the situation or setting will determine the best choice, but she should never be afraid to go with her instincts and wear combos that help her feel confident, stylish, and empowered!
]]>Understanding how to make loungewear work for different settings is the key to helping your daughter feel confident and look stylish. With a few basic tips, you can help her create a range of looks that are both comfortable and fashionable, whether you are shopping for loungewear online or brick and mortar stores.
When she’s choosing loungewear for a casual hangout with friends, comfort is always a top priority. Help her look for lightweight items that are breathable and easy to move in. Sweatpants and joggers are great options, and she can pair them with a stylish tank top or t-shirt for an effortlessly fashionable look.
For added warmth, she can choose hoodies or oversized sweaters that still fit comfortably. Finish off her outfit with a pair of sneakers or sandals for a laid-back vibe.
A day of learning can be exhausting–which is why it’s important for her to choose items that are both comfortable and stylish. Pairing cute sweats with a flattering, fitted top can help your girl look sharp and stay attentive all day long.
For colder days, have her choose a bomber jacket or soft fleece sweater to stay warm. To top it all off, she can add a pair of comfortable sneakers for an easy-going look.
As we have seen, loungewear is a look with a lot of potential, but the secret to success is ensuring that your daughter has the right pieces in her closet that can be adapted to fit a variety of different settings and occasions. Consider coordinated outfits versus mix and match in loungewear to help her build up a closet for every occasion.
The following staples will help ensure that she is ready for any opportunity:
Long gone are the days when loungewear meant uncomfortable, unflattering sweatpants with too much elasticity and not enough options for flair. Today, there are a number of comfortable and stylish sweatpants available that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Have your daughter try pairing them with a cute long-sleeved t-shirt or tank top.
Another key staple is a long-sleeved t-shirt that is super comfortable and that she will feel great in. These items can be dressed up or down, making them a perfect choice for any casual or more formal event. Have her try pairing them with a skirt or joggers for a more feminine look, or opt for a more sporty look by pairing them with loose jeans or joggers.
Loungewear is a trend that is popular thanks to its huge versatility and ability to adapt to any situation. With our top tips, you will be able to help your girl build a closet of core staples and ensure that she is ready for any event with the perfect outfit!
]]>To help, we have put together a list of our experiences with shopping for sleepwear at different types of stores, including department stores, online retailers, and boutiques. This guide will help you consider the versatility of loungewear in different settings and ensure that you have all the information you need to make the right choice when selecting sleepwear.
One of the most popular options for purchasing sleepwear is department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom, as these typically offer a wide variety of sleepwear styles, ranging from basic t-shirts to luxurious nightgowns. The prices at these stores vary a great deal depending on the style and fabric, as well as the brand you select; certain brands can be very pricey.
In most cases, however, you can usually find something within your budget, and there is typically a wide selection of sizes available. The main downside is that the selection may be limited in terms of color and pattern, so if you are looking for something specific or unique, it might not be available at department stores.
Shopping for sleepwear online has become increasingly popular due to the convenience and wide range of options available, and this is a trend that has skyrocketed in areas such as shoes, clothes, household goods, and even food!
While physical stores can be restricted in terms of how much they can stock, this is not such an issue with online stores. Online stores can offer a larger variety of styles, fabrics, colors, and patterns. In addition, the prices are usually lower than those at department stores, and you can often find sales or discounts on certain items.
The major downside here, however, is that you cannot try on the sleepwear before buying it, so you need to read reviews carefully to ensure that the item fits correctly. It can also be hard to get a clear understanding of how the fabric will sit on your frame. You will not know how it hangs or feels until it arrives, so you will need to do plenty of research and read reviews before you buy.
Another popular option is boutiques, and these can be an excellent option for finding one-of-a-kind sleepwear. Boutiques often carry unique and handmade items that can’t be found at department stores or online retailers. They are perfect for those looking for something special or custom-made.
The downside, however, is that boutique items are often quite expensive and may not be available in a range of sizes.
Ultimately, there is no ‘right’ place to purchase quality sleepwear and loungewear; department stores, online spaces. and small boutiques all have something to offer.
The trick is to decide what is important to you–do you want to cut costs or invest in a high-quality piece? Do you need to try items on, or are you simply investing in something you know you’ll love? By having a clear understanding of your goals before you start shopping, you will be able to find the best possible option and pick out the perfect sleepwear pieces!
]]>While saving cash is a key priority, it is also important to make sure you are getting high-quality sleepwear and girls’ loungewear that will last. In some cases, the old adage “buy cheap, buy twice” is sadly all too accurate, and you may find that you continually have to spend money on replacement sets.
Whether shopping for loungewear online or at brick-and-mortar stores, we have put together some great tips to help you balance cost and quality when purchasing these essentials, allowing your daughter to enjoy stylish, quality items that will last without having to go over the family budget.
To balance cost and quality for your loungewear, there are a few things to keep in mind:
The first thing to consider when shopping for quality sleepwear and loungewear is basics. Shop for items that your daughter can mix and match, such as solid-colored t-shirts and leggings, long-sleeved shirts with matching pants, and tank tops and shorts. These basics may come in at a lower price point, but they will provide the most bang for your buck. Plus, these items can be used to create endless combinations of ensembles.
By building up a solid wardrobe of basics, you will be able to offer plenty of choices while sticking to affordable prices.
When it comes to long-lasting fabrics, quality is key. Look for items made of cotton or bamboo blends which offer comfort and breathability, and make sure that you check out the care instructions before making a purchase.
Most loungewear and sleepwear items are machine washable, but some may require hand-washing or dry cleaning. If this is something that is going to be an inconvenience or expense that you cannot justify, then skip over these items in favor of options that can be washed with regular laundry.
At the same time, don’t be afraid to splurge on pieces that will be worn a lot–extras such as robes or loungewear will likely be worn every day, and spending a little more at the beginning on quality fabrics can actually save you money in the long run, as these pieces will last through multiple seasons.
Reusability can also be a factor when considering the importance of sleepwear for sensory issues–make sure you pick pieces that will be comfortable for the wearer, and that they will enjoy for a long time.
It's always a good idea to keep an eye out for sales and promotions; many stores offer discounts and even free shipping when ordering online, so take some time to hunt around and compare prices. It can also be useful to keep an eye out for multipacks of items such as t-shirts and shorts.
You can often get a better price by buying in bulk, and this will ensure that your daughter has plenty of sleepwear and loungewear items to choose from. By striking while the iron is hot, you will be in a great position to grab the best deals and may even be able to buy more items while still staying within your budget!
When it comes to balancing cost and quality in purchasing sleepwear and loungewear, there can be a few things to think about. The good news is that saving money doesn’t mean having to sacrifice quality! With our top tips, you can ensure that you are enjoying the very best of both worlds and investing in the best possible pieces without breaking the bank.
]]>If you are facing challenges in finding a specific type of sleepwear, you have come to the right place! Read on for some of our top tips to ensure that your child can enjoy a great night's sleep in maximum comfort.
In order to understand why your child might be having difficulty when it comes to finding the right sleepwear, it is important to understand what sensory issues are. Sensory processing disorders (SPD) can affect how a person perceives and responds to sensations in their environment. This can range from feeling overwhelmed by too much noise or light to being unable to tolerate certain fabrics or textures.
For some kids, this can mean that they find certain types of sleepwear uncomfortable and even unwearable. This can result in a great deal of stress, anxiety, broken sleep, and discomfort for everyone involved.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help you manage sensory issues when choosing the perfect sleepwear and loungewear. These include:
Natural fabrics, such as cotton, are much softer than synthetic materials and are less likely to irritate the skin. Look for sleepwear made from organic cotton or bamboo, which is even more gentle on the skin.
Natural fabrics also tend to be more breathable, and this can help to ensure your teen or tween stays cool and comfortable throughout the night. When balancing cost and quality in sleepwear and loungewear, you will likely find that natural fabrics tend to cost a little more but will pay dividends in terms of quality, longevity, and comfort.
Color can have an impact on the senses and may exacerbate sensory disorders. Some colors can be overstimulating for young people with sensory issues, so it is best to opt for softer shades, such as neutrals or pastels.
Tags in clothing are an annoying sensation for most people, but for someone with sensory issues, it can be unbearable. Be sure to check your child’s sleepwear before they wear it and remove any tags to avoid any unwanted sensations–you can simply cut these out to avoid the issue.
Prominent or awkward seams can be another source of irritation, as the feeling of them rubbing against the skin can be overstimulating for someone with sensory issues. Where possible, look for sleepwear items that have flat seams or are seamless, as this can help ensure a more comfortable night’s sleep.
Suffering from sensory issues does not automatically have to mean a limited choice in sleepwear and loungewear–it is still possible for your teen or tween to enjoy an array of cute designs, colors, and detailing. By following the tips above, you will be able to make informed, confident choices to help your kiddo enjoy a calm and restorative night's sleep!
]]>This can make shopping for sleepwear challenging. You don’t want to buy pajamas that you think are adorable, only to find out she thinks they’re for little kids. If this happens, it might take her a while to trust your clothing selections again!
Girls–particularly those in the tween phase–can be hard to please. It’s an emotional rollercoaster for everyone, and their tastes and attitudes toward clothing can swing back and forth rapidly.
That’s why we’ve put together some ideas for finding age-appropriate sleepwear for your growing girl.
First and foremost, nightwear needs to be comfortable to wear and sleep in. Your daughter is going to want her pajamas to be soft and breathable. Avoid polyester and other synthetic materials–natural fibers are a much better option. Cotton is generally considered the best material for kids and adults. It comes in a range of weaves and weights, from poplin for the summer to flannel for winter.
Not only is cotton perfect for any season, but your daughter won’t overheat when wearing breathable cotton pajamas. If it’s a particularly chilly night, she can layer with a Jane Classic Everyday Cotton Camisole for Girls for added warmth. These camisoles from Yellowberry are tagless and a fantastic option for anyone with sensitive skin.
When shopping for sleepwear, make sure there are no pieces of elastic, snaps, embroidering, or other details that can dig into her skin or that she might roll onto during the night. The importance of sleepwear for sensory issues can’t be understated if your daughter is sensitive to these things. You want her to get a good night’s sleep so that she’s ready to face the next day with a smile.
When you buy pajamas for your daughter, don’t be surprised if she mixes and matches the tops and bottoms into unique combos! If she’s more into oversized sleep shirts, suggest a pair of Yellowberry Uptown Joggers to wear underneath until she’s ready to climb into bed.
She might also reach for an old t-shirt for bedtime, but there are differences between dedicated loungewear versus old clothes. If your daughter insists on sleeping in her favorite battered t-shirt, tuck a couple of pairs of our Midtown Shorts into her drawer.
Pajama sets can add an air of sophistication to nighttime outfits. They come in a wide variety of materials and prints, so you are sure to find something that captures your daughter’s personality–and, as an added benefit, they can be worn around the house on those lazy Sunday afternoons at home.
Making sure your daughter is comfortable and stylish in her sleepwear will boost her confidence and mood, whether she is lounging around at home or having a sleepover at a friend’s house. For the highest-quality loungewear and sleepwear sure to make any girl feel great, check out Yellowberry’s wide selection today!
]]>Your daughter likely has similar ideas about style and wants to wear loungewear while playing outside, hanging around with friends, going to school, and around the house on lazy days at home.
A small piece of advice: don’t fight this. Let her join in the casual lifestyle trend.
As a parent, girls’ clothing preferences can be baffling. Many parents get tired of seeing their kids in the same clothes day after day despite having a closet-full of options to choose from. Using demoted clothes as loungewear can help solve the challenge of finding specific types of sleepwear and loungewear your daughter will like.
When evaluating pieces that can be used as loungewear, remember that your daughter will need items suitable for both warm and cold weather. For example, an oversized t-shirt and loose-fitting shorts may be perfect for the summer, whereas a cozy, old hoodie and sweatpants will be better for the winter.
Yellowberry has introduced a new line of loungewear, so you can order some Uptown Joggers or Midtown Shorts if what you’re finding in your daughter’s existing collection is not quite up to snuff or if certain garments should be paired with something new.
T-shirts, leggings, joggers, cardigans, and camis are a great place to start when demoting-promoting older clothes. Surely, you will find some clothes that have seen better days when they are pilling, losing their shape, or fading after a lot of washing and wearing. These items are perfect for sitting around the table for a leisurely weekend breakfast.
While some people wear casual clothes to bed, there is no replacement for good sleepwear that helps with sleep. Try to keep her sleepwear separate from her loungewear.
Fashion is a reflection of culture, and loungewear is an integral part of today’s casual lifestyle. However, you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort–your daughter can have both when it comes to her loungewear collection.
Rather than secretly hauling off bags of well-worn clothes to donate when your daughter isn’t home, embrace the idea that the life of some of her favorite pieces could be extended by reusing them as loungewear. Of course, if it’s time for some new cozy items to pair with what she already has–or if she just needs a loungewear upgrade altogether–Yellowberry has you covered. Check out our selection of high-quality loungewear today!
]]>Whether it’s a pair of shorts and a camisole or joggers and a hoodie, there might be more to loungewear purchasing decisions than you think.
It’s important to know your daughter’s size before buying her any clothing. Be sure to check out Yellowberry’s sizing chart, as sizes are not always the same between brands.
Also, look closely at how the loungewear you’re considering is made. Are there any buttons, zippers, embroidering, or other items that might irritate her skin? Double-check that the pants aren’t cut in a way that will bother her. Do they sit too high on her waist, or will they slip down too far on her hips?
When you check loungewear tags, you may not always be familiar with the different materials and how they can impact price, durability, and comfort. Here are some characteristics to keep in mind so you make an informed decision and get what’s best for your daughter:
It is versatile, comes in various weights and weaves, and can be worn close to the skin. If your daughter sweats easily, look for loungewear made of cotton.
Good sleep is critical to everyone’s mental and physical health, yet so many kids simply put on a threadbare t-shirt and old sweatpants for bed. These might be comfortable, but they will never come close to how great your daughter will feel in quality loungewear for girls. Similarly, good sleepwear can go a long way towards promoting good sleep habits and self-esteem!
Once your daughter slips on an extra comfy pair of pajamas, her delight will end any debate you’ve been having with yourself about the virtues of dedicated loungewear versus old clothes.
If you’re still unconvinced, we’ve laid out some reasons why investing in quality sleepwear for your daughter makes sense.
It’s never too soon to learn about self-care. Pajamas that look and feel good will make your daughter feel like she is being pampered.
Girls are creatures of habit. When she changes from daytime clothes into a cozy pair of pajamas, it will signal her body that it’s time to wind down, relax, and get ready for bed.
When putting on sleepwear is part of her evening routine, this response becomes more ingrained. Old t-shirts and sweatpants may not have the same effect, because her brain may associate these clothes with playing or hanging around the house, not sleeping.
When your daughter feels comfortable and knows she looks great, she is going to get the sleep she needs and feel like she is on top of the world. Finding the right sleepwear is an easy way to help her do this.
On lazy days at home, a good pair of pajamas is perfect for lounging around or binge-watching her favorite show.
Today’s sleepwear comes in a wide assortment of fabulous styles, designs, and colors. Before purchasing any clothes for your daughter, take some time to learn about the different loungewear fabrics and how they affect fit. After all, the fabric will determine if she overheats and gets sweaty at night or is comfy and relaxed when she sleeps.
Don’t get sucked in by the design of pajamas. Check to make sure your daughter is in a breathable fabric that will keep her cool and is suitable for the season. If it is the dead of winter, make sure the fabric will keep her warm on a chilly night!
Consider your daughter’s sense of style and if her sleepwear will allow her to move freely and in the utmost comfort. Make sure to check for any tags, buttons, embroidery, or other decorative items that might irritate her and disrupt her sleep. Quality sleepwear from a trusted brand like Yellowberry can help improve your daughter’s sleep and make her feel great!

Loungewear is also a style that’s not hard to dress up with a nice pair of shoes (perhaps some ballet flats or chunky sneakers in a bold color or pattern), a jacket that balances out the style of the loungewear (try the straight-leg Uptown Jogger with an oversized jacket), or fun accessories (think a multi-colored bracelet or necklace).
When purchasing loungewear for your daughter, look for clothing in a variety of colors that can be mixed and matched to extend her outfit options. Loungewear is made from a wide range of materials, so it can be worn indoors and outdoors, regardless of the weather and changing seasons. That’s right–loungewear is a 24/7, 365-day fashion statement.
There’s a reason you should only buy quality loungewear for your girl–it is bound to improve her mood because it feels so good and looks so good. When clothing is well-made, it is comfortable to wear and gives your daughter an extra boost of confidence in her appearance. This is true whether she is at home watching a movie or hanging out with her bestie.
The new collection of all-day loungewear from Yellowberry gives you everything you want. Comfort and fashion come together in clothes perfect for relaxing while lazing around the house, hanging out with friends, and even going to school.
Yellowberry is true to its mission of offering quality clothing that fits a girl’s lifestyle while being comfortable and on-trend. Our products are made from soft materials and in various colors that will appeal to any young fashionista!
]]>Remember that loungewear can be slept in or worn throughout the day as a casual outfit, but sleepwear should be reserved specifically for wearing to bed. The difference is that some pajama styles are designed strictly as pajamas while loungewear and athleisure looks can transition from homewear to workout wear to streetwear.
When it comes to fabric choices, our shopping tips for loungewear and sleepwear are essentially the same: opt for soft, breathable, and durable pieces that can be used throughout the year. Style and comfort for loungewear or sleepwear go hand-in-hand–cozy should never sacrifice cute!
Most sleepwear is made from cotton or a cotton blend. However, you will also find pajamas that are made with synthetic fibers, silk, linen, and even bamboo blends.
Cotton is a classic fabric choice known for its softness, durability, and breathability. It keeps the body cool and helps wick away sweat with its airiness. Cotton is a highly versatile choice for loungewear that is also used to sleep in.
Lightweight cotton is ideal in the summer months to keep cool. Cotton can vary in thickness, texture, and stretchiness and is often blended with other fibers to create warmer fabrics like flannel and waffle knits–which are perfect for the winter.
Polyester is a common fabric because it's highly washable and less expensive. It can have a silken effect or a thicker wool-like feel. Fleece is a common choice for wintertime warmth for both sleepwear and loungewear.
Polyester usually comes as a blend because it is not a breathable fabric. You may find that polyester sleepwear is often too warm for your daughter.
Silk is undoubtedly the most luxurious sleepwear material. It’s also the most recognizable as pajamas, making it less appropriate for loungewear that is worn outside the home. While this material is soft and comfortable, it requires special care and can be expensive.
Linen is a wonderful option for hot days and nights, but it’s usually not particularly soft and cozy. Linen is highly breathable and has a cooling effect, but its stiffness is often a turnoff for sleepwear–especially if your daughter has sensitive skin.
Bamboo and rayon are wonderful cotton alternatives that are soft, comfortable, and breathable. These fabrics are usually more environmentally conscious and are often blended with other fabrics.
Sleepwear can come in a variety of styles such as separates, one-pieces, or matching sets. Separates can be mixed and matched to accommodate temperate changes like camisoles with pants or waffle knits with shorts. One-pieces can be nightgowns with tank-style straps, t-shirt-style dresses, or even rompers that are long or short.
Matching sets have a more traditional look and are typically designed as a loose-fitting button-down top with shorts or pants. One-piece pajamas and matching sets will look like sleepwear, while separates can function as both loungewear and sleepwear.
Yellowberry’s cotton camisoles and Midtown shorts are the perfect starting point for comfortable and functional loungewear or sleepwear. Check out our wide selection today

One of our most important loungewear and sleepwear tips is that this clothing should always feel soft on the skin and be breathable–no matter the season. Cotton is a classic choice because it's highly durable; it can be washed over and over and won’t pill or warp.
Cotton is also extremely versatile and comes in a variety of thicknesses, textures, and blends. Its moisture-wicking properties are perfect for preventing overheating, while layering can keep away sweat when doing moderate physical activity like yoga or walking.
For added warmth, fleece-lined leggings or sweatpants make great lounge pants in the wintertime. Jersey, rayon, flannel, and terry cloth are other fabrics typically used for loungewear.
Regardless of the material, lounge pants should have a decent amount of stretch. Be sure to avoid scratchy fabrics that might rub up against and irritate your daughter’s sensitive skin.
The way lounge pants fit can have a huge impact on how comfortable they are. Soft, elastic waistbands offer some added adjustability, allowing lounge pants to have a more customized and relaxed fit.
Leggings might feel too restrictive while sweatpants or wide-legged pants might feel too shapeless. Yellowbetty’s Uptown Joggers strike a nice balance of having some tailored fit around the ankles without sitting too close to the body.
Lounge pants can be worn as neutral pieces with classic, solid colors or stand out more with different colors or textures. Keep in mind, though, that bold patterns might read more like fun pajamas.
Zippers can also offer some fashionable function that keeps loungewear from looking like pajamas. Styling choices can affect the overall aesthetic of wearing lounge pants–pairing them with the right shoes, tops, and jackets will change how casual or sporty the outfit looks.
Because loungewear can transition between home and on-the-go, functionality is a feature worth prioritizing. Proper pockets not only look good, but they can hold items your daughter wants to keep close by and are a great addition when she doesn’t have her backpack or a jacket with her.
Lounge pants are a fantastic way for your daughter to stay comfy while still looking put-together for school or going out. Yellowberry’s Uptown Joggers are perfect for any occasion and have a sleek shape to style up while staying perfectly cozy to wind down or sleep in. Pair them with a cute camisole or our Downtown Hoodie to complete the look!
