What do boys wear to K?

[Anonymous]

DS wears jersey/sweat shorts and tshirts, and gym pants and long-sleeve tshirts all year round. Can he wear these to K (and be in line with the other kids), or should I start the battle to get him used to other clothes (i'm thinking polo shirts, pants with buttons) now?

I went to private school, uniforms are so much easier!!

I sent my boysinpolo shirts the first day of school but tees and athletic clothes (under armor, Nike) for the rest of the school year.

DS wore long-sleeved or short-sleeved t-shirts and athletic pants all year long last year in K. I'm pretty sure that's what most of the kids usually wore.

I think on picture day I made him wear a polo.

He's fine... FYI - don't buy a lot of sweaters / sweatshirts if your school is like ours, its very warm in the classrooms in the winter. My kid never wears anything warmer than a long sleeve shirt.

I'd stock up on Lego Star Wars and Ninjago t-shirts now.

You won't see polo shirts in a kindergarten class room. You will see what the others said.

What about girls? My DD, entering K, wears a lot of dresses and tights, dresses and leggings, swing tops and leggings. Some yoga pants, occasionally jeans (very occasionally). Most of her tops are not collared and a good number are T-shirt quality (even the swing tops).

This is all fine. You will see girls wearing this, and girls wearing shorts and tees and sandals the first warm weeks. Girls wear sweats too, a lot of jeans and tees.

Children in Kindergarten do not care what other children are wearing. School is not a fashion show.

Yes, save your money for later when they do care about name brands. I usually make my son wear something decent on the first day to take his photo (khaki shorts and sometimes a polo) but the rest of the year he wears athletic shorts/pants and long or short sleeved tee shirts.

16:02 here. Thanks. I had asked about rain boots and was told, on DCUM, not to have my DD wear them. I wanted to check the pulse here to see if there were any no-no's with respect to clothes). I did this b/c I know there is bullying in schools (no matter what the school officials say). I do not want my child to start her schooling being bullied b/c it can really do a number to a child (as we all know).

What's wrong with rainboots? Lots of kids in my child's K class wore them. It's a walk from drop off to the school, and nice to keep their feet dry.

Bullying in kindergarten over clothes? that doesn't happen
