[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am by no means picky about my kids' clothes (I buy from places like Target, Old Navy, Children's Place), but even those places have cotton or mostly cotton clothes.  My kids received a lot of clothes as gifts, and I don't think they were from cheap places, but most of it is thin polyester.  My husband picked up a pair of leggings and was like "these are pajama pants, right? there's no way she can wear these out in public" - they were like the kid equivalent of those see through leggings women wear.  What is going on with kids clothes?[/quote]

I think it happens when people try to buy kids "trendy" or "fun" items (at any price point) like "ooh, let's buy her something cool or fun her parent's wouldn't buy" instead of "what kind of boring workhorse clothing does this kid need for school/daycare?" I notice that lines that are less "hip" and more "boring," regardless of price, tend to actually be 100% cotton.

For example, OldNavy/Gap and Carter's Oshkosh styles aren't going to be seen as "trendy" or "fun" by an adult but they tend to offer classic play clothing in 100% cotton. The same is true of Walmart's Garanimals line for babies and toddlers--there's nothing edgy or hip about it (mostly solid tees and pants), and it's a low price point, but it's actually mostly 100 percent cotton items that hold up okay.
