What to Wear for the State Fair:

The State Fair of Texas is fast approaching starting September 26th all the way to October 19. It is one of the year's most exciting family outings between the rides, food stands, and photo worthy moments. All moms know that dressing your kids for that fair takes some planning. State Fair outfits should balance comfort, style and practicality so your little ones can enjoy every funnel cake bite and ferris wheel ride with no fuss. Here are some of our favorite tips for such a fun family activity. 

1. Comfort is Key 

Between rides, animal petting and plenty of fair food, kids need outfits that keep up with them all day long. Lightweight cotton dresses and shorts sets such as our Sarita Girl Dress or Emery Girl Set and Fields Boy Polo Set. We especially love these pieces in the Dallas print. How perfect would your little one look in a toile print with charming details inspired by the fair itself! For the littlest one in the family, the Sarita Girl Bubble in the Dallas Print which is a crowd favorite for a reason and the perfect thing to wear to their fun filled fair adventure. 

2. Practical Footwear 

With so much walking, shoes matter! Closed toe shoes are a must for safety and comfort. A great way to do so would be to match some Condor socks with a pair of chic sneakers. If you want to go all out, check out Petite Paloma boots for the perfect pairing as seen on our Western Classics shoot. 

3. Photo-Worthy Style

The fair is filled with backdrops perfect for family pictures such as pumpkin displays, Ferris wheel views and Big Tex himself. Our newest Dondolo print - Rodeo illustrated by Catherine Cartie was designed with these moments in mind. Coordinated pieces in this print create a cohesive family style that photographs beautifully, ensuring every snapshot becomes a memory you'll treasure. Match your family in the Jessie Girl Bubble or Sawyer Boy Bubble for the littlest ones. For the older ones, look for the Jessie Girl Set or Jackson Boy Polo Set for a casual yet put together look. 

4. Accessories That Work 

The right accessories can make your child's State Fair of Texas outfit both practical and polished. For little girls, coordinating a bow with their outfit not only keeps their hair tidy through a busy day of rides but also adds a sweet finishing touch for photos. For moms on the go, a lightweight backpack is the perfect companion doubling as both a diaper bag and essentials tote. With everything neatly packed and easy to carry, you'll be free to enjoy the fair while your little ones look effortlessly put together. 

Outfitting your kids for the State Fair of Texas doesn't have to be stressful with the right mix of comfort, footwear, and playful style moms can ensure their children are both fair and photo ready! After all, the best memories at the fair come from when kids feel happy in what they're doing and wearing.
