There is a huge variety of clothes that the kids wear. Luckily, their Peers don't care about fashion, so what you should be worried about is:

--weather appropriate
--washable (please don't send them in their best dresses)
--Velcro shoes (laces only when they can tie their own shoes)
--pants that are easy up/easy down in the bathroom.

another preschool teacher here (and also mom). I second everything here. Please, please, please do not send your child in things that they can't do or undo themselves. I cannot tell you how much time I spend unbuckling and buckling belts, buttoning pants, etc. -- time I'd rather be spending teaching and learning with your child!

And like others have said, your child will get messy. Assume everything will have juice and paint on it at the end of the day.

Totally OT but do preschools still serve juice?!

At our very high end preschool they do for snack - drives me bananas

Wow, I can't believe that people care what other 2 year old kids are wearing. Really, what's it to you? I guess you'd really disapprove of the day I sent my 2 year old son to school in his Nine Inch Nails shirt.

Actually no, that is cool. A Spiderman t-shirt is tacky.

OP asked. People answered. No mystery.

And you aren't exactly shocking us with your rebel soul, PP.

I buy all our kids clothes used so they're cheap and easily replaceable.
That said I make sure they're always well dressed.

Both DS and DD wear nice clothes to school that are still comfortable. Usually a bright solid color top with comfortable nice looking bottom socks and closed shoes.

DS wears polo shirts or button down shirts. They're all $2-3 at goodwill so he has every single color of the rainbow and I don't care if they get ruined. Also he wears button down shirts with solid Ts underneath. He likes the looks and they're comfortable too. He's 3.

You are overpaying - you can get clothing new at those prices.

I'd prefer that but its not shocking in the slightest. Many of us do that... my kid had all kinds of fun van shoes, especially the flame ones.

Bullshit. I buy shirts at the Gymboree outlet for $1.50 - $3 and Ralph Lauren Polo shirts at Macy's for less than $5. Learn how and WHEN to shop!

Well, i don't have time to keep browsing sales and outlets and keep coupons so I prefer to do a few trips down the road to goodwill. And I doubt you can get RL or J&J for that price anyway. If you get lucky and find the color of the day tag it's $1.29. I doubt you can buy nice brands for that price.

Not a fan of those brands so its a non-issue but I just hit the stores or online and pay a few dollars and buy the next size, two or three up as well. Who wants worn out stained clothing when you can get new for 60 cents more. I don't do outlets. Not worth it.

So you buy Ralph Lauren polo shirts for $1.89 new online? LOL

Yeah right....

And if you're careful enough to look at them before purchasing you don't get old worn clothes. You even get NWT ones.

This thread has become nauseating. These poor kids have a lifetime of judgement coming up as they grow into adulthood. They don't need a complex at the age of two because you think their spiderman tshirt is tacky.

Oh, stop! The judgement isn't on the child - it is on the parent. That could not have been made clearer but those of us who dislike sloppy, lazy clothes like sweatpants and cartoon t-shirts for school. Home and play - fine. School - no.
