what does your kid wear to school?

DS starts preschool on Sept 12. I bought him a bunch of long sleeved tshirts and pants with full elastic waists. Some are from Target. He has a couple of Okie Dokie ones from JCPenny and some from Kohls(I think Jelly Bean brand?)
He has nicer pants but I don't want them to get ruined with paint and stuff plus they have buttons. I wanted to send him in something comfortable and easy to pull up and down when he goes to the bathroom.
He'll be wearing sneakers everyday.

Re: what does your kid wear to school?
That is basically what I send DS in everyday.
One day recently I was getting DS dressed and he told me he didn't want to wear the shirt because it had a hole. He had cut his shirt with sissors. I hadn't even noticed. So when the school said "send in play clothes they may get dirty/stained" I add or cut.
T-shirts/tanks, shorts, skirts, and dresses so far. For shoes, she has a pair of sneakers and a pair of sneaker-type mary janes.
DD1 loves to wear dresses, so we have a lot of casual ones. There are very few outfits she has that I wouldn't send her to school in. Most of the clothes we have either wash well, or were not so expensive that I'd be upset if they got permanently stained.
She still struggles with jean snaps, so she usually just wiggles herself in and out of jeans without unbuttoning them when she has to go to the bathroom. But it's been so hot that jeans haven't really been an good option yet. I do wonder how she'll do with tights this winter, or if I should stick with leggings instead. But we haven't done any winter clothes shopping yet.

Shorts with elastic waist bands, although this year I may try a couple of snaps as they've gotten pretty good at them. T-shirts or collared knit shirts, tennis shoes and socks. In the winter, long sleeve t's and elastic waist long pants (they wore jeans every once in a while).

DS wears a tee-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. His teacher told us to buy his school clothes at Good Will because they will get painted on, colored on, etc. We didn't buy his clothes there but he wears clothes that we don't care about getting ruined.
I think she will be wearing jeans and shirts for the most part. She has a few dresses and skirts that I will put with leggings.
Shoes will be tennis shoes, sandals, or ballet flats.
DD wears a uniform to her current school.
At her previous one she wore a lot of leggings and long sleeved tshirts in darker colours.
We started a month ago and it's ungodly hot here. I made sure to get elastic waist shorts that he could easily pull down for the bathroom. We don't buy expensive clothes....he wears a lot of t-shirts and polos and a couple button down short sleeve shirts. I buy everything in dark colors because my kid is very messy and dark colors hide stains better :-P He is wearing sandals, but we have to go out and buy him tennis shoes because the teachers are concerned about *safety*. Really though, a month of school and nothing has happened, I think we're good, but whatever. I made sure to get athletic-type sandals that would be sturdy and stay on (strap on the back too) but we were planning on getting him some tennis shoes anyway (just later, when it was cooler).
I bought a couple pairs of pants already at a consignment sale last weekend. I'll buy him more winter clothes as we get closer to that time. Most of his t-shirts he'll still be able to wear, but I'm also getting long sleeve shirts to go underneath and hoodies so he can layer and be warm.

In the summer, its all t-shirts or tank tops w/ shorts, a few skorts. Sneakers or mary janes.
In the fall/winter, its normally tunics and leggings, occassionally jeans/cords and a hoodie or sweater.
Everything is easy-on/easy-off and completely washable.
I send them in play clothes and comfy shoes, so I don't worry about any messes appearing on their clothing. I have nicer outfits for them that I use when we go out on weekends
