Holiday Attire Tips When Shopping for Your Kids

    PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- As the year draws to a close, it's
a time when families traditionally dress up.  Photos for holiday cards,
schools events, church gatherings, and an accelerating social whirl of parties
with friends and relatives create a need for holiday attire stretching from
before Thanksgiving to the new year.
    It's traditionally a time when mom pulls out her favorite dresses and dad
dusts off his special dress slacks and sweaters.
    But what about the kids?  It's easy to forget that they have just kept
growing all year.  There's no way those holiday outfits from last year will
fit them for this year's parties and photos.
    It's time to go shopping.  And when it comes to kids clothes for the
holidays, you'll find them at Freddy's.
    Fred Meyer offers a wonderful assortment of holiday apparel for infants,
toddlers, boys, and girls that is priced to please, especially when
considering how quickly the kids will grow up and out of them.
    It helps that the fashion rules stay about the same each year for
children's holiday dress-up.
    For boys, you can't go wrong with black corduroy pants and sweaters or a
dress shirt and tie combo to go with gabardine pants.
    For girls, it's velveteen and chiffon dresses in black, burgundy, and
reds.  Last year plum was a popular color.  But this year burgundy has moved
back to the forefront as the top alternative to black for dresses or
coordinated tops and jackets.
    For infants and toddlers, the girls like to wear dresses like their older
sisters.  Velvet and organza and lace-trimmed velour are perennial favorites.
For the boys, you can't go wrong with dress-up sets containing nice pants,
dress shirts, ties, and plaid vests.  These sets not only make it easier for a
parent to pick up a coordinated outfit, they also save money compared with
buying separates.
    Fred Meyer features a great selection of the finest national brand
products for children, including Carter's, UNIONBAY, Skechers, JNCO, Levi's,
and many more.  In addition, it offers a wonderful selection of private-label
products made by the same people that serve many of the finest department
stores.
    Fred Meyer is headquartered in Portland, Ore. and has a total of 134
multidepartment stores in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, and Utah.  Fred
Meyer is a division of The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), whose stock is traded on the
New York Stock Exchange.
