Our Favorite Cool and Comfortable Gender-Neutral Playware

Everyone could use more basic tees — even your kids. These ones by Cat & Jack ($8) are made from 100-percent cotton and come in a variety of colors (from coral to tie-dye) and sizes, up to XXL Plus. With a slightly longer fit, they can be tucked into pants or a skirt or worn with a casual pair of joggers. What's more, they're breathable for hot summer days and can be easily layered under a hoodie or sweater for when the nights get cool.

This classic crewneck sweatshirt ($12) will be a go-to for your little one throughout the year. During the summer, keep it on hand for when it gets breezy. Come the fall, layer it under a denim jacket. Not only is it a polished, outdoor essential, but they'll love wearing it when cozying up for a good movie, thanks to the comfortable fit and soft cotton knit. Pick one up in a few colors — there's pink and grey and even tie-dye blue. It'll be a wardrobe refresh that your kid will adore.

Joggers aren't just on-trend for adults. They're beloved by the smaller set, too. Why? Well, for the same reasons we love them. They're endlessly comfortable and can be worn with just about anything. Plus, they're surprisingly polished depending on what you pair with them. Treat your kid to some new joggers ($12) with a purple tie-dye print. Consider it their intro to '90s fashion. (Gotta start 'em young!)

Finish the look with a cute cardigan, and they'll be ready for school, birthday parties, and anything else you've got planned.
