The countdown to the new school year is on — and for many families and schools, that means one thing: uniform shopping. While the process can feel overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. At Prodigy Uniform Wear, we’re all about making the uniform journey simple, efficient, and stress-free. Here are our top tips to help you prep like a pro.
1. Start Early
Waiting until the last minute is a recipe for stress — and possibly delays. Starting early gives you the best selection, time for exchanges (just in case!), and peace of mind.
Pro tip: Many schools begin ordering as early as May or June. The sooner, the better.
2. Know Your Sizes
Whether you're shopping for a growing student or outfitting an entire school, getting the right fit is key. Use sizing charts, guides, or even sizing kits when available.
We offer easy-to-follow guides (and live support!) to make sizing a breeze.
3. Plan for Growth
Kids grow fast — we get it. Consider sizing up slightly or choosing adjustable-fit options to get more life out of each uniform piece.
Our uniforms are designed with growth in mind — from flexible waistbands to durable stitching.
4. Order Multiples
One shirt? One skirt? One emergency away from a laundry crisis. Having extra sets means less stress and fewer wash-day dilemmas.
Bundle options and multi-piece sets make this simple and budget-friendly.
5. Label Everything
Seriously — everything. Especially in younger grades, items like sweaters and hoodies have a way of vanishing. Name tags, labels, or initials can save time (and money).
Bonus Tip: Choose a Supplier That Makes It Easy
Uniform shopping doesn’t have to be a hassle. With Prodigy’s custom-fit process, customer support, and streamlined portals, we’ve made it easier than ever for families and schools to get what they need, when they need it.
Back-to-school should be exciting — not stressful. With a little prep and the right partner, your uniform process can be one of the easiest parts of the school year.
