CLOTHING
Kids' clothing for sport and daily life: t-shirts, polos, shorts, trousers, tracksuits, sweatshirts, coats, leggings, swimwear and coordinated sets. Adidas, Nike, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Hummel, Regatta, Joluvi and Luanvi lead the selection.
Look for fabrics that tolerate frequent washing, elasticated waists that adjust as children grow, and reinforced knees on trousers that will meet a playground. Layering works better than one thick coat, because children heat up and cool down very quickly.

Swimwear
Kids' swimwear for lessons, the pool and the beach: swim briefs, jammers, costumes, trunks and swim shorts from Speedo, Joma, Adidas, Champion, Kappa, Ras, Koalaroo and 4F.
For weekly swimming lessons, a chlorine-resistant fabric is the only thing that survives the season. A close-fitting brief or costume is easier for children to manage on their own, while swim shorts with a drawcord suit older kids at the beach. Some models add UV protection for long days outdoors.
-
Sports T-Shirts
Kids' sports t-shirts for PE, club training and playing outside, from Adidas, Nike, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Regatta, Joluvi and Under Armour. Short and long sleeve versions in breathable technical fabrics.
Lightweight polyester dries far faster than cotton, which matters when a child goes straight from a session back into a classroom. Flat seams avoid rubbing, and a slightly loose cut is more comfortable for running about than anything close-fitting.
-
T-Shirts, Polos and...
Kids' t-shirts, polos and dresses for everyday wear, with Adidas, Nike, Puma, Champion, Joma, Kappa, Regatta, Under Armour and +8000. Cotton basics, printed graphics, piqué polos and easy summer dresses.
Combed cotton is soft against the skin and copes with frequent washing, which is exactly what children's clothing has to do. Polos work for school and for family occasions, and a plain t-shirt in two or three colours will be worn far more often than anything complicated.
-
Tracksuit
Kids' tracksuits from Adidas, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion and Hummel, pairing jacket and bottoms for training, PE and cold mornings on the way to school.
Brushed fleece keeps children warm on the touchline, while lighter tricot is better for indoor training and packs down small in a rucksack. Elasticated waists with an internal drawcord adapt as your child grows, and zipped pockets stop small things disappearing. Check the composition on each product sheet before you decide.
-
Sets
Coordinated kids' sets pairing a top and a bottom in matching colours, from Adidas, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Koalaroo and Alphaventure. A complete outfit sorted in one go, which is exactly what busy mornings need.
Summer sets combine a t-shirt with shorts in light, quick-drying fabric, while cooler-weather versions pair a sweatshirt with joggers. Elasticated waists and simple fastenings mean children can dress themselves, and matching pieces make the school bag much easier to pack.
-
Leggings
Kids' leggings for gymnastics, dance, PE and everyday wear, from Adidas, Puma, Joma, Champion and Sontress. Full-length and cropped versions in stretchy fabrics that move with the child.
A wide, flat waistband is the detail that matters most, because it stays comfortable while a child runs, jumps and sits on the floor. Opaque fabric with good recovery keeps its shape through the school year, and a brushed lining makes winter mornings noticeably warmer.
-
Shorts
Kids' shorts for football, PE, athletics and summer, from Adidas, Nike, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Luanvi, Regatta and Under Armour. Team shorts, training shorts and casual cotton styles.
Light woven fabric dries quickly after a session and takes up almost no space in a school bag. An elasticated waist with an internal drawcord adjusts as your child grows, and a slightly longer cut is more comfortable for children who spend the whole break running about.
-
Long Trousers
Kids' long trousers and joggers for school, training and weekends, from Adidas, Nike, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Macron, Joluvi and Under Armour. Tapered joggers, straight tracksuit bottoms and warmer lined models.
Ribbed cuffs stop trousers dragging on the ground and keep the cold out, while a reinforced knee survives far more playground use. An adjustable internal waistband tape is worth looking for, since it lets one pair fit properly across a growth spurt.
-
Outerwear
Kids' outerwear for cold, wind and rain: padded coats, waterproof jackets, softshells and gilets from Regatta, Joluvi, Joma, Hummel, Dare2B, Alphaventure, Roly and +8000.
A waterproof shell with taped seams and a proper hood handles the walk to school far better than a thick coat that soaks through. Insulated jackets keep warmth in on the touchline, and reflective details on the sleeves and back are genuinely useful on dark winter afternoons.
-
Sportswear
Kids' sportswear gathers the technical garments children actually train in: breathable tops, light bottoms, base layers and pieces designed to survive PE lessons, club sessions and the washing machine in equal measure.
Quick-drying fabrics matter more than anything else at this age, because children sweat, sit down and cool off very quickly. Flat seams prevent rubbing, elasticated waists adjust as they grow, and simple fastenings mean they can get changed without help.
-
Underwear
Kids' underwear and base layer pieces from Joma, chosen for comfort under sports kit and for everyday use. Soft fabrics, flat seams and waistbands that do not dig in.
A thin base layer under a football shirt keeps children warm on cold pitches without adding bulk or restricting movement. For daily wear, soft cotton blends with a little elastane are the most comfortable and stand up best to frequent washing at higher temperatures.
-
Sweatshirts
Kids' sweatshirts and hoodies from Adidas, Puma, Joma, Kappa, Champion, Hummel, Joluvi and Under Armour. Crew necks, hooded pullovers and full-zip styles in brushed cotton and lighter technical fabrics.
Brushed fleece is the warmest option for the playground and the touchline, while a lighter sweatshirt layers under a coat without bulk. Full zips are much easier for younger children to manage alone, and darker colours cope better with everything a school day involves.
