When your daughter puts on an outfit that has an itchy tag rubbing up against her skin, she’s not going to like it. Luckily, you can find stylish American-made loungewear for girls from Yellowberry that’s made without irritating clothing tags!

Why Do They Put Tags in Clothes?

There are multiple reasons why clothing manufacturers place tags in their clothes. These include:

• Branding: Tags can identify the creator of the clothing with a name, logo, or messaging to foster brand loyalty.
• Size: Tags help customers choose the right size of clothing.
• Legally required information: The US government requires that manufacturers identify themselves and provide details about fiber content and country of origin for the article of clothing. The material used in constructing clothes is important for people with specific allergies or preferences. The country of origin may hint at production and labor standards where it was manufactured.
• Cleaning and care instructions: How to clean, dry, iron, and store the article of clothing can help maximize the appearance and longevity of easy-care, comfortable loungewear for girls.
• Security: Stores often attach devices to tags to prevent shoplifting and help with inventory management.
• Ownership: Tags are often where parents write the name of their child so that their clothes aren’t misplaced at school, sleepovers, summer camps, or wherever they might leave them.

Despite its usefulness, you might want to carefully remove tags from the waistbands, necklines, and other areas of your daughter’s clothes before placing them in her drawers. Keep in mind that manufacturers often need to sew in two (not just one) labels to fit all of this information, so you may need to remove tags from multiple locations on the same piece of clothing. 

What Are the Alternatives to Tags?

More and more brands–especially those that manufacture underwear, form-fitting garments, and children’s clothes–have switched to tagless labels to avoid causing any discomfort. Tags may seem like an insignificant issue, but they can feel as uncomfortable to your daughter as the itchiest, coarsest wool sweater imaginable. 

Tagless labels are more comfortable, don’t distract from the aesthetics of the garment, and can endure repeated washing and wearing. Besides, cutting out tags carries some risks. It’s easy to leave a small hole that can grow over time or a thin piece of the tag along the seams that will continue to irritate your daughter’s skin.
