Up until a certain point, a child wears essentially what their parents will give them, but there comes a time when they must be allowed to express themselves in their own way. Although it may sound trivial to some, the way children (and later teenagers) present themselves is a huge part of their identity development. They need to be allowed to experiment, seek out their own style, and figure out what feels natural and comfortable.
