ABSTRACT

The study sought to assess children’s clothing. Clothing is one of the basic needs of human life. Clothing provides a proper way to cover the body and has numerous additional uses. Children’s clothing is an important as well as famous arm of the current clothing industry under various categories. It has a significant impact on children’s health, safety, and well-being. These outcomes can be affected not only by the type of clothes that children wear, but also by many other factors related to the child, caregiver, and environment. Different components and elements of clothing can have different impacts on children. Accessories in clothing, such as cords, drawstrings, belts, ties, and buttons on garments, can act as safety hazards for children. Safety and comfort are considered top priorities when selecting fabrics for manufacturing children’s apparel. In addition to that, kids like to play, and the nature of children’s activities means that their clothes should be durable, suitable, and flexible for lively little lives, as well as easily machine washable, as they will likely need to be cleaned frequently. The act of putting on and taking off costumes or outfits also has physical benefits for children. It helps kids practice language development and their social skills. Recommendations were made in the study, one of which was that parents should avoid buying baby clothes that are made from synthetic fabrics and chemical dyes to ensure their children’s health safety.
