Survey
Perpetually Five surveyed young fathers
to find out what they look for in when it comes to clothing for both themselves
and their children.
The results:
The fathers surveyed had mix reviews on
the clothing they shop for. While some wanted cheap and trend based items
others looked for quality and something different.
Most of all the parents went for
something that was durable. Even though they would shop for something cheap and
easy they would also look for high quality garments that can be mixed and
matched.
Colour was important to the fathers
surveyed. Colours the child could relate to.
All parents shoped for their childrens
clothing. When buying something more expensive they looked for quality, well
made and versatile.

Hi, I am a CIT Bachelor of
Fashion design student researching what parents look for in clothing.
I am hoping to create clothing for parents designed
around the idea that a child can interact with. The clothing would have to be
fun, stylish and functional.
Do you have a spare minute to answer the following
questions to help with my research?
What do you usually look for when you buy
clothes?
Quality and something different.
Most parents go for cheap and quantity these days but if you have a good
quality garment that can be mixed and match I would prefer that - but that's
just me
What colours do you usually tend to
look for/buy?
I prefer strong colour.
colours the child can relate to - they do have a preference - it doesn't always
have to be pink or blue
Do you buy clothing that may have a connection with
your child?
Yes, depending on the
activity and what his personality was like at the time

interact with?
Yes
Do you select and buy your children’s clothing:
Yes - but mostly my wife

What do you look for in children’s clothing:
Style - not cheap and
nasty. Well made - versatile and practical
