The back-to-school season usually induces a flurry of mixed emotions. On one hand, having a silent house will feel like a spa getaway—while on the other, you’re met with the incoming chaos of a routine change and a laundry list of school supplies. It’s enough to give any parent in the midst of prepping a healthy dose of whiplash, especially if you’re still newer to the back-to-school hustle and bustle.
As moms with kiddos under 6, we typically dread shopping for school clothes, knowing they never make it past the new year. But then we discovered that editor-fave PJ brand Little Sleepies—known for their velvety soft bamboo fabrics that stand the test of time—launched back-to-school clothes, and we ran to get our hands on a few pieces. If you’re already a fan of their PJs, you’ll be pleased to learn that their Play clothes are the stuff of dreams. Here’s why Little Sleepies Play clothes are perfect for the school year ahead:
They’re equal parts soft and durable for all-day play
All the moms on our team can attest to the buttery feel of Little Sleepies PJs—in fact, it’s usually a race against the clock to grab a set before they sell out anytime a new collection releases. They’re the only jammies that last our kids a full year (or more) of wear. Plus, their seamless tags and hypoallergenic fabric eliminate irritation for our littles with sensitive and eczema-prone skin. And now their Play clothes are expertly crafted using Soluxe™ bamboo fabrics made for playtime with the softness we love from their PJs and the durability our littles need for school.
There aren’t many clothes that can withstand our kids’ rough playing (we’ve lost count of how many holes we’ve found in the knees of our boys’ pants). But Little Sleepies constructed their recess-ready clothes with the same high-quality standards they’ve always had. In fact, their joggers have reinforced bands at the knee to avoid this exact problem. The fabric is so stretchy and comfortable that our kids have no issues moving at maximum speeds on the playground. All their Play pieces also have UPF 25 protection, providing moms with extra peace of mind during outside play.
They have the same stylish versatility we know and love
Along with their proprietary bamboo fabrics, Little Sleepies’ stylish designs are another equally admirable trait of the beloved PJ brand. They’ve perfected creating clothing designs that both kids and moms go crazy for. Their new collection has a great balance of eye-catching patterns, vibrant colors (that don’t veer on obnoxious), and practical basics that can be mixed and matched like a capsule wardrobe. It makes picking outfits a breeze, especially if your little one insists on choosing their clothes each morning.
Our kids were particularly obsessed with the zip-up jackets and sweatshirts, from their fun colorways to the pockets perfect for little treasures and the thumbholes at the sleeve cuffs. Meanwhile, we moms appreciate that Little Sleepies constructs their pants with extra length for longer wear. All these thoughtful details make the whole collection versatile for every stage. This launch has cemented Little Sleepies as our go-to back-to-school clothing shop from day to night. We can finally say we found clothes that will last until the end of the school year.
