Two Boxes, 10 Stellar Kids' Looks

Let Mac & Mia take the stress out of dressing your kiddos with five days of effortless and stylish spring and summer wardrobe looks.

What if we told you shopping for your child’s spring and summer wardrobe could be done in the next 5 minutes? And that getting your kiddo dressed every morning would be an effortless occasion that included no meltdowns or “wrong” outfits?

This could be your life. Full stop. Head over to Mac & Mia—a curated kids’ shopping service that ships stylish children’s clothing (sizes newborn to 6T) to your doorstep.

Signing up is a fun, simple process. You start by filling out an online profile and taking a style survey (think color preferences, outfits your kids like, and more importantly, things your kids dislike). Then you’re paired up with a stylist who will reach out with additional questions and hand select 7–9 pieces that cater to your needs, budget, and lifestyle. They all mix & match, so you can make on average 7 outfits per box.

Day 1

Boy:

*Dress it up: Lose the hoodie and shorts, pair the button-down with navy chinos, and your little dude is ready to party.

Girl:

*Dress it up: Swap the leggings for white jeans, add a necklace, and put away the sunnies. Have her throw on a light jacket or a cardigan if it’s chilly. Done and done.


Day 2

Boy:

*Dress it down: Jeans & oxford off, add a pair of shorts and sneaks, and he can go do his play thing.

Girl:

*Dress it down: Lose the necklace, throw the dress on over a swimsuit, and add sunnies—voila!—she’s set for the beach.


Day 3

Boy:

*Dress it up: Shorts off, chinos or jeans on, add an unbuttoned button down (to give just a peek of the graphic), and he’s one cool cat.

Girl:

*Dress it up: Throw on a cardigan or lightweight jacket and a pair of sandals, and she’s ready for dinner out.


Day 4

Boy:

*Dress it up: Swap the tank for a short-sleeve button-down, add a pair of boat shoes, and he’s country-club ready.

Girl:

*Dress it up: Ditch the sunnies and graphic tee, add a flouncy top and a cardigan or lightweight jacket on cool nights.


Day 5

Boy:

*Dress it down: Unbutton the button-down, add a graphic tee— the look goes from preppy to trendy.

*Dress it way down: Button-down off, graphic tee on, and hit the playground.

Girl:

*Dress it down: Take off the jacket and jeans, add a pair of orange shorts, and she’s off to the playground.

*Dress it way down: Take off the top and jacket, add a graphic tee, and she’s laid-back casual.
