Children’s Clothing
(Original Title: 兒童的衣服)
The material of the clothing and its color are closely related to the seasons. Fabrics and colors suitable for one season may not be appropriate for another. In spring and autumn, light purple, light blue, and bright red make for the best choices for girls. Suitable fabrics include national cotton and thin cloth, which are practical for making long shirts. Such clothing is adaptable to all four seasons. Boys might prefer Zhongshan suits, while floral patterns are suitable for school uniforms or small Western-style tops and shorts. In the hot summer, materials should be thin and colors light. Girls might opt for light shades to stay cool.
