"I look at the beauty of the clothes firstly and then style and fit come second. Price is never really something that I consider,”  says Augustine Masilela, a owner of a kids" clothing shop.          For Masilela, there is no limit (限制) to the amount she will take on children"s clothes.          If she thinks the quality and style are great, she will take it.       Sonia Motaung does not mind throwing a few fashionable numbers into her seven-year-old kid"s wardrobe(衣柜).            "I believe a child should keep a child. She must still be able to play but not look careless, " she says.            Some parents say boys are difficult to shop for.            " To make my son look good , I dress him in designer labels (栎签) , "  says Kgomotso   Mogotlane.           She says shopping for her three-year-old boy can be a null thing, but she has thought of lots of ways to make it fun.            While it is often a parent that decides on a child"s wardrobe, some mothers let their kids choose.            "I go shopping with my four-year-old son and let him choose what he wants, " says Uyanda Mbuli.            Of course, when they reach a certain age, children start choosing their own coats.            "I like to go with my mother when she buys my clothes because then I can choose what I want, " says Sipho Mdluli( 12) .            Whether it"s the kids who choose what they want to be seen in or their parents who take the lead, children are surely looking cool.
