Children Fashion
Children in Renaissance England were considered simply small adults, and their dress reflected this. Children were dressed in clothing very similar to their parents, and both young boys and girls wore dresses during infancy and toddlerhood. When boys were old enough usually around the age of seven, they were breeched, or put into their first pair of breeches, and hose. This practice continued up until the 19th century in the Western World.
Boys
Dresses for boys were very popular at the time to identify boys dresses from girls the color for boys would often be a dark blue, a brown or black color. For dressing up for special occasions, older boys wore tunics with long pants and thin suits. Knee breeches were forbidden for little boys because it was considered too mature for them, older boys mostly wore them. Boys usually wore dresses until the age of seven through nine. Surprisingly the father decides when the boys would be old enough to wear breeches and his decision based on his opinion of when he thought that the boy was maturing.

The girls wear only dresses, a mini verion of the adult dresses, and the colors they used are light colors such as pink, red, and yellow. If the girls were attending a fancy event, they would usually wear a dress that puffs out the bottom.
