18 Birthday Party-Worthy Outfits for Kids

The second we become parents there's no escape from a birthday party, whether that of your child or, as he grows up, his friends. Despite the stress it can bring especially if you're planning one, a birthday party is one event that kids and grown-ups alike look forward to and do not want to miss. It is fun, we all get to eat cake, and everyone gets to dress up!

When looking for an outfit for your child, keep in mind these considerations: You want fabric that is light and comfortable; the cut should give him the flexibility to move around; and, of course, the color and style should be party-worthy! Here are our top picks:
