Scrolled down looking for Tea and Boden! All of my kid's Tea stuff is still in great shape for handing down to her sister. They do run a little small

If you go to a used clothing store, you will probably start to see which baby and kids’ clothes last over time. From my observations, brands like Hanna Andersson, Tea, Boden/Mini-Boden, Joules, vintage Gap, Lands End—also some smaller boutique brands. Look for organic cotton. My trick in 2nd hand shopping is to look for “lots” of clothes on ebay in those brands, so you get a bunch of quality clothes in a bundle and save on shipping. Like search for 5t lot Boden and see what turns up. And make offers!

The Best Kids' Clothes Right Now?
My kids are tweens/teens now, so my feedback is in retrospect. Boden was my favorite for special occasions. I have many pieces (pinnies and tees) saved. Hanna for pjs and babies. Tea for every day, but it fades. Gap and Cat & Jack for school. Now that my kids are older, I shop a lot at Zara, Abercrombie, and still Target.

Hanna Andersson, Primary, Boden, Land's End/L.L. Bean (great for swim and winter outerwear), Gymboree, Gap, and Oshkosh (older especially on the last 3) I go through Poshmark and make bundles. Sometimes you can get another 20-40% discounts from sellers who just want to clear things out. A bit older is best - not only will the sellers normally give higher discounts (the old 'I don't need a 12mo jacket for my 7 year old') but the quality was a lot better across the board. Carters, Old Navy, Garanimals, Gerber are all cheap enough new that it's fine to fill out a wardrobe, but I typically have more issues with tears/wear/not being able to get stains out.

Hanna Anderson is great quality and easy to resell/consign. Patagonia for outerwear. Ive been happy with the quality of most of my Zara purchases but they don’t resell/consign as easily. I also have had good luck with H&M as long as it’s 100% cotton. A nice thing about H&M is a lot of their bottoms have waist expanders so they can grow with the child. H&M runs into same issue not being able to resell/consign as it’s seen as “fast fashion”. I have had the best experience buying from consignment shops. For one, they buy it back :) Last Xmas my daughter wore a Hanna Anderson dress once and I sold it back to them. Also it’s an affordable way to get more expensive clothes for great prices. She’s wearing some $65 Boden shoes that I got for around $15. The Patagonia Ive been able to find on Poshmark.

If you have Once Upon a Child go there and look for second hand Primary, Hanna Anderson, Boden, and vintage Gymboree etc... take your time feeling the fabrics. I recently got a Gymboree shirt for my oldest that I'm confident will make it through all (soon to be 3) of my boys because it's so thick and well stitched. Look for shirts that feel sturdy. Some old Gap and Old Navy will be good too. I've also bought kids Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama second hand and those are durable too.

Casual Women’s Clothing for 33 year Old
I highly recommend Boden clothing. It’s from the UK. I am typically an XS/0 (5’2” Asian build) and their size 2 fits me consistently with the items I’ve ordered. Comfortable fabrics, casual but slightly dressy and great quality - I purchase both new and used if I come across it on secondhand sites. My kids have a bunch of their clothes as well and they survive washes and hand me downs with no issue.

Affordable BIFL womens clothing?
I’ve found Boden to be quite good. they have weird sizing so make sure you go by measurements, but I have had two of their dresses for over a decade, and one of them I got second hand

What womens swimsuits are BIFLT (buy it for a long time)
If you’re looking for something fashionable rather than athletic, I’ve had really good luck with Boden suits. Mine has held up for four years and the material feels really sturdy and thick, plus it’s the prettiest one-piece I’ve ever had.

Women’s Swim Suits/Bikini
It's not a US brand, but I highly recommend Boden. I have three swimsuits from them and the quality of the fabric is so much better. Thicker material and feels more sturdy than any swimsuit I've bought before.
