Kids Capsule Wardrobe Builder

I spend too much on kids' clothes and they still have nothing to wear. I need a system.

Child's age: [AGE]
Gender: [GENDER]
Lifestyle: [school uniform / home educated / mix]
Biggest problem: [they grow too fast / clothes get ruined / too many but nothing matches / they're fussy]
Budget: [tight / moderate / flexible]

Build a kids capsule wardrobe:
1. **The essential list by age** — exactly what they need and how many of each
2. **Mix and match system** — a colour palette where everything goes together
3. **Where to buy smart** — best value shops, second-hand sources, and what's worth paying more for
4. **Seasonal rotation** — how to manage summer/winter without doubling the wardrobe
5. **The growth strategy** — buying sizes that last, hand-me-down systems, and when to invest vs save
6. **Getting kids to dress themselves** — wardrobe organisation that gives them independence
7. **Shoes, coats, and accessories** — the items most parents overbuy or underbuy
