Can you still count on your hands the number of times that your kid has come home with a stain on their shirt or a rip in their favorite jeans? The answer probably is “No”. It can sometimes be frustrating. You might recall a Rappler article on a popular detergent brand that said stains can symbolize something good. It’s an essential part of growing up! What us moms need to do is to be prepared for those moments by investing in clothes that can keep up with our kids. Here are a few reasons why it’s important to buy clothes that are built to last:

COMFORT IS KEY



Clothes that are built to last are often made from quality fabrics. The better the fabric, the easier it will be for the little and not-so-little ones to move around in and less chance of rips and tears. After all, having a happy kid is what we all aim for. Life Hacker believes that you should spend money on, where they spend the most time in - it’s called the “Comfort Principle”. Keep your kids comfy and yourself happy!

YOU SPEND LESS TIME DOING LAUNDRY AND IRONING



There are 3 magic words when it comes to children’s clothes. You have to find clothing that is wrinkle-free, stretchable and light-weight. Fabrics that fall into these categories are the easiest to maintain. It means you spend less time staring at the pile of clothes near your ironing board and more time enjoying your kids’ company. Here are a few tips from So Sew Easy on choosing the right fabrics for your kids’ clothes. If you’re curious about the specific types of fabrics, Sew Guide gives you 13 fabric options to watch out for.

SHOPPING IS SIMPLER



Since you know what types of clothes and fabrics to look out for, shopping becomes easier. You don’t have to go through all the items in the store anymore. The next step is to find a favorite shop that can carry it all for you. You can see from the array of clothes on the BNY Jeans shop that they are made from high quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear. Your young kids and teens will definitely spend a lot of time in their clothes – so it is worth choosing wisely. Which just goes to reaffirm why you should always look to buy clothes made from quality materials otherwise you could end up buying some more quicker than you wanted.

YOU END UP SAVING BY BUYING LESS FREQUENTLY



Ever heard of the phrase “Cheap is expensive”? Sounds a bit ironic, right? It’s because you get what you pay for. When you buy cheap products, you might only be spending a little money now but chances are, that piece will only see a few washes before you need to head out and buy something new again (as mentioned in the previous section). Between travel costs, the cost of the clothes and the time that you spend – they can all add up pretty quickly. Be smart in investing in clothes.

Summer is one of the most awaited time of the year.  First it's the end of the school classes , second it's vacation time and third it is time to show off that wonderful bods while splashing the waves of the sea. Of course showing off needs also an outfit that's why Regatta recently held a fashion show at One Esplanade showcasing what's in for the summer

Regatta, the leading fashion brand known for its easy feel and relaxed fashion, once again pushes the boundaries of style and scent with a launch that welcomes two new additions to their portfolio - a fresh new scent, Leisure and the Preppy Resort summer collection.

Regatta's Latest scent, aptly named Leisure, represents the casual and comfy experience that the fashion brand offers. Leisure is what a Regatta summer smells like: A light combination of freshness for women or an outdoorsy combination of musk for men.  And me as a woman likes the scent of Leisure.


To match the new scent is the brand's latest summer collection: Preppy Resort continues the tradition of relaxed leisure fashion with a burst of bright and fun summer colors in its key pieces. The collection boasts of classc tops and bottoms in vivid and seemingly contrasting shades.

The collection also includes a wide variety of prints, from colorful surf boards, and bicycles to floral paintings. What make the clothes interesting is the repetition of prints that puts a twist on basic tees, shirts and accessories.

For men, basic polo shirts and simple flat-front tailored pants are given a fashion makeover through the use of summer shades. It highlights the clean and fresh expression of summer fun with a dash of preppiness. New for the brand are multi striped tank tops which are perfectly paired with the colorful and lightweight, drawstring summer shorts.

For women, feminine dress shirts, flattering tops and comfortable skirts are given new life with adorable hues. Additionally, colorful tees, cotton blouses, colored jeans and nautical prints aim to awaken one's summer beach cravings.


One of the key components in this collection is the use of chambray fabric that is lighter and softer than linen. The fabric provides a relaxed look but also highlights the preppy essentials on bright polos, printed woven shirts, dresses and chinos.

Adding to your summer getaway is a mis and match collection of swimsuit tops and bottoms that stand out. These swimsuit pieces are perfect while sailing, sunbathing, and surfing or any beach activity the day might bring, A loosely knitted white cover up complements the women's swim wear well.

With this collection, Regatta makes the most out of the season's theme with designs that certainly up the fun fashion and easy vibe the brand is known for.

Me together with some blogger friends was given a chance to ramp a la model as well as we pose on the ramp, gladly our outfit was just closely as the summer outfit. Perhaps on the next time that we'll do it we'll definitely wear some of Regatta's summer collection.

So head on with your friends and families on Regatta's boutique to choose the best fashionable outfit this summer.
