Switching to online shopping
Like most countries in the world, since the beginning of the pandemic, Saudi Arabia consumers have switched to online shopping for all their fashion needs. This is made possible by all the online shopping sites in the KSA that offer a wide range of payment options including the ever popular cash on delivery.
KSA is well-positioned to take advantage of this e-commerce trend by developing a strong domestic market and, with the right policies, becoming a powerhouse in the Gulf region.
In addition, e-commerce in KSA has grown rapidly as the Kingdom is on path to realize Vision 2030, a comprehensive plan aimed at transitioning the country to a knowledge-based economy.

The main platforms to shop online for adorable, play-proof and durable clothing in Saudi Arabia are:

Before shopping for kids on Namshi, we highly recommend checking the Namshi discount code for the KSA available at Almowafir.

Noon also has specific categories dedicated to toys, tricycles & scooters and outdoor play. They have a huge choice of clothing and accessories for children of all ages (including newborns).

What are the main considerations when choosing children’s clothing?
Comfortable and flexible fabric, openings and fastenings, fit and ease, adjustable waistbands, trimmings are all major considerations when choosing clothes for your child.
You should also be realistic about what occasions and weather you’re shopping for.
Make sure you browse through the product reviews or even the most popular categories to make sure you select the most appropriate pieces of clothing.
Kids are difficult customers and have high expectations. Let them help choose their own clothes and allow them to develop their sense of style.
Once they grow up, teens (both boys and girls) like to be very involved in their clothing choices so make sure you also take their advice into consideration.
Don’t forget to make your shopping fun and exciting for the whole family.
Clothing essentials variations
Your child’s essentials vary depending on their age and how busy your family is. It is obvious that babies and newborns need to be changed frequently and therefore need the largest number of outfits. Toddlers for instance, also need a large number of outfits but they, need more variety than quantity. School-age kids will need school uniforms (in many cases) and spend a lot of time outdoors.Therefore they are likely to need jackets, sneakers, and even hats!
