Casual

If your child is always on the go, ready to play, kick a ball, or bouncing off the walls, their capsule personality is Casual! They’re likely drawn to athletic gear, sweatpants—generally clothes they can easily move around in. Look for durable fabrics that breathe easily and reliable tennis shoes since your little one is probably always on the go.

We love a good track suit. The sweatpants can easily match just about any shirt and the jacket or sweater adds an extra layer of warmth.

Classic

A Classic capsule personality is the child who’s an old soul. They probably enjoy reading and can carry a conversation with anyone, and are likely to be okay with trying most foods. They’re drawn to simple yet pronounced clothes that make them feel grown up. Look for neutral colors that balance well with each other and timeless pieces that will grow with them.
