Choosing Chicco girls’ clothing: a practical guide for sizes 62 to 122

Chicco girls’ clothing is available in a range of styles for babies, toddlers and young girls. Think of a girls’ short-sleeved T-shirt, a bodysuit, girls’ pyjamas, a skirt or a complete girls’ clothing set. The right choice depends on more than just colour or price. Sizing, fabric and when it will be worn all determine whether a garment stays comfortable in practice.

For parents in the UK, there are three common pitfalls to watch out for:

  • Relying only on age: an age label can vary from one style to another. The child’s height in centimetres is therefore more important.
  • Not checking the full fabric composition: “cotton” can mean 100% cotton, but it can also be a blend with elastane or polyester.
  • Confusing a nice style with practical use: a skirt or set may look appealing, but fastenings, room to move and washing instructions determine everyday convenience.

What to look for in Chicco girls’ clothing?

1. Check the size in centimetres

Chicco clothing sizes 62 to 122 usually refer to the child’s height. Size 062, for example, is intended for a height of around 62 centimetres, while size 122 corresponds to roughly 122 centimetres. The product information may also show an age guide, such as 62–06M or 122–7 YEARS.

Only use the age as a guideline. If in doubt, measure your child’s height and then check:

  • the stated size;
  • the age range;
  • the fit of the specific style;
  • whether there is enough room for a nappy or an extra layer of clothing.

A size that is too big can be awkward around a baby’s neck and shoulders. A size that is too small, on the other hand, restricts freedom of movement.

2. Look at the full fabric composition

For cotton girls’ clothing, the difference between 100% cotton and a cotton blend matters. A T-shirt or pair of pyjamas made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane may have some stretch. A set made from 100% cotton has no elastane in the stated composition. Neither is automatically suitable for every use: consider the desired fit, the season and the washing instructions.

The available Chicco range includes:

  • short-sleeved T-shirts made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane;
  • a T-shirt set made from 100% cotton;
  • girls’ pyjamas made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane;
  • a pinafore skirt made from 80% cotton, 16% polyester and 4% elastane.

Brands can describe fabric properties in their own way. So be sure to assess the stated composition and always follow the care label. A fabric percentage alone, for example, doesn’t tell you how quickly a garment dries or how long the colour will last.

3. Choose the style based on how it will be used

A girls’ bodysuit is handy as a base layer for babies, while a short-sleeved T-shirt is easy to pair with trousers, a skirt or shorts. Girls’ pyjamas with short sleeves suit warmer nights, but check that they match your child’s bedroom temperature and sleeping comfort.

For girls’ summer clothing, lightweight styles and simple combinations are practical. A two-piece set saves time when getting dressed. A girls’ skirt can be more versatile if it can be worn with different tops. With young children, also pay attention to fastenings and loose parts that could make dressing and undressing more difficult.

Frequently asked questions about Chicco girls’ clothing

Which size of Chicco girls’ clothing will fit my child?

First, look at the height in centimetres. Size 062 stands for approximately 62 centimetres and size 122 for approximately 122 centimetres. The age guide is only an additional reference. Also check the style, because a T-shirt, bodysuit and skirt can all fit differently.

Is Chicco girls’ cotton clothing suitable for summer?

That depends on the fabric composition and the design. Products in the range include 100% cotton or 95% cotton with 5% elastane. Short sleeves and a simple style can be practical in warmer weather. Follow the care label and assess the clothing based on the conditions your child will be wearing it in.

How do I care for a Chicco girls’ pyjama or T-shirt?

Always follow the instructions on the sewn-in care label. Wash the clothing at the recommended temperature where possible and do not use any treatment not listed on the label. After washing, check the shape, seams and fastenings. This way you’ll notice in good time whether a garment still fits well and is usable.
