As my kids get older they’re harder and harder on their clothing. When I buy something I’d like it to last at least long enough for them to outgrow it, preferably longer so I can pass it down. The same principal applies to adult clothing — while we won’t be outgrowing our clothing, we still want it to be long lasting. Traditionally known for their work wear, Dickies has fashions that great for active families, including summer wear! Dickies outfitted our family with some great styles this summer. All of the items we received were made of quality fabric perfect kids who are rough on their clothes and parents who try to keep up with them:
The Hubs— Hubs received a polo shirt and plaid shorts. The shirt is casual enough for everyday wear yet “business casual” enough to wear to work. It goes great with the shorts which are perfect for weekend wear. I didn’t get a picture but I think my husband looks pretty handsome in his new outfit.
The Mommy — I’m wearing a boat neck top which is available in three solid colors and three striped colors. I love the nautical look of the white with navy blue (clearance price $14!). While the sizes seem to run about two sizes too big, once I found the right size (an extra small) I was pleasantly surprised with the fit. I also received a pair of cropped jeans which also run big because the size 2 was quite a bit too big for me.
The plaid shirt I received is really soft and comfortable. It looks cute either buttoned up or unbuttoned with a cami or tank top underneath. It’s also available in other colors.
The Kiddos — The kids clothing items are mostly school uniform type items — khaki colored pants and polos mainly. My oldest two each received a pair of pants and a polo. Both pairs of pants have elastic button tab size adjusters on the inside which I love. My son’s were slightly too big so I was able to adjust them from the inside to make them more comfortable and keep them from falling down. My son is also wearing the boys quarter zip with a polo shirt underneath. I think these shirts are perfect for school even though a uniform isn’t required. . My daughter is wearing a Dickies Short Sleeve Polo dress which will also be great for school.
The prices at Dickies are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality. My kids will, without a doubt, outgrow these long before they are worn out. While the kids clothing selection is limited and geared more towards uniforms, the styles are basics and can be used for everyday wear. I especially love the Double Knee Pant. My son has some pretty awesome Star Wars moves which always land him on his knees quickly ruining every pair of pants he owns. I’m positive these pants will hold up a lot better than any other pair we own.
Overall, I was really impressed with Dickies. I’d definitely recommend them, especially for families who are very active outdoors. Check out shorts, short sleeved tops and more for summer at www.Dickies.com.
