How to Buy Summer Clothing for Kids: A Complete Guide for Indian Parents

🌤️ 1. Always Choose Cotton — It’s Nature’s Best Fabric

When it comes to kids’ summer clothing, nothing beats 100% cotton.

Cotton is:

• Naturally breathable

• Gentle on sensitive skin

• Absorbs sweat and keeps the body cool

• Hypoallergenic (no itching or rashes)

At Gozi, we recommend parents look for Red Label Cotton — our benchmark for premium-quality, soft, and safe cotton fabric. It’s made using fine-count yarn (like 60s cotton) which makes it light, smooth, and ideal for Indian weather.

👉 Avoid polyester or poly-cotton blends — they might be cheaper and longer lasting, but they trap heat and cause discomfort, especially during summer.

☀️ 2. Lightweight Fabric Is Better Than Heavyweight

Many parents assume “thicker means stronger,” but that’s not true for kidswear.

In summer, lower GSM (grams per square meter) cotton is much better. It’s:

• Light on the body

• Airy and breathable

• Easier to wash and dry quickly

Heavyweight fabric can make kids feel sweaty, cranky, and overheated — especially in humid areas or during outdoor playtime.

👉 Always check the weight and feel of the fabric — soft, flowy cotton is perfect for summer.

👕 3. Choose the Right Styles for the Season

Lightweight doesn’t mean boring! Choose designs that keep kids comfortable and stylish.

Great summer styles to shop:

• Sleeveless T-shirts and Shorts Sets – Perfect for playtime, running, and outdoor fun.

• T-shirt and Shorts Sets – A must-have for school breaks, daily wear, and travel.

• Lightweight 100% Cotton Pajamas – Ideal for preschool or nap time; soft and breathable even indoors.

• Cute Graphic T-shirts – Keep kids excited to dress themselves; comfort + personality in one.

At Gozi, we design all these categories using breathable, soft, and child-safe cotton fabrics — tested for comfort and durability.

💧 4. Breathability Over Everything

In summer, fabrics should allow air to flow freely.

Look for:

• Open weave cotton (not too dense)

• Soft finishing (so it doesn’t stick to skin)

• Loose, easy fits

Tight-fitting clothes trap sweat, cause irritation, and make children uncomfortable. Always size slightly up if needed — kids grow fast, and looser clothes feel cooler.

🚫 5. Say No to Polyester

It’s tempting — polyester looks shiny, doesn’t wrinkle easily, and lasts longer. But here’s the truth:

• It’s not breathable

• It traps heat and sweat

• It can irritate delicate skin

Even though polyester clothes are cheaper, they’re not suitable for hot Indian weather, especially for toddlers and younger kids.
👉 Always check the fabric label — it should say 100% Cotton or Red Label Cotton for safety and comfort.

🌿 6. Check Finishing and Feel

A soft fabric finish makes a big difference. Our soft-finished cotton feels buttery smooth and prevents friction against the skin. Avoid stiff or overly shiny fabrics — they often have synthetic finishes or resin coatings that make them non-breathable.

🧺 7. Easy Care Is a Plus

Summer means more washing! Look for fabrics that can handle regular washing without losing shape or color.

At Gozi, we use reactive dyes on cotton — they bond with the fabric, so colors stay bright even after many washes, unlike pigment-printed clothes that fade quickly.

🩳 8. Practical Tips for Parents

Here are a few quick things to remember:

• Prefer light colors – they reflect heat better than dark shades.

• Avoid synthetic linings inside garments.

• Make sure elastic waistbands are soft and non-restrictive.

• Always check stitching inside the garment — no scratchy seams or rough threads.

• For babies and toddlers, choose tagless labels or soft-printed ones.

❤️ 9. What We’ve Learned from Our Parenting Community

Parents often tell us the same thing — kids are happiest when their clothes don’t remind them they’re wearing anything!

That’s why at Gozi, every kurta, T-shirt, pajama, and short is designed to:

• Feel soft on the skin

• Allow air circulation

• Keep the body cool even on the hottest days

• Look cute while staying practical

Our designs reflect what Indian kids truly need — comfort that lasts all year round, not just style.
