Kids versus Parents:
The Getting-Dressed Edition
In partnership with our friends at Everafter
Demanding sartorial independence is the first step on a child’s lifelong journey of self-expression. Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves when they refuse to wear pants on days that start with the letter T, swear off anything green,
or—heartbreakingly—revoke mom and dad’s styling privileges altogether. We asked a bunch of goop-staffer offspring to dress themselves (with a little guidance from their parents) for three specific occasions—none of which start with the letter T.

Michelle | Mom (and buying director of fashion at goop)
“We recently moved to LA, so I was excited to pack the parka away and embrace the warm weather. Stripes and dots are my neutral. Although I know the jacket will come off as soon as we get to the playdate. Grey denim hides the playground dirt and zip-back Vans allow Benjamin to ‘lace up’ his own shoes. All that’s missing is sunblock—an always accessory in LA.”

“Cate thinks she’s a stylist and insists on wearing only dresses and fancy outfits. She doesn’t let anyone dress her. If she’d give me the chance, I’d try to put her in something comfortable, though I know it’s not her thing.”
