I Was Skeptical About Rockets of Awesome: Here’s What Happened.

I’m a mom with a B.S. in Fashion Design and I’ve worked at some of the top fashion firms in the country, and since having kids, my view on the clothing industry has shifted. When I go to the store, I can instantaneously understand the quality, and therefore price of a garment for my kids. With that in mind, I had a difficult time seeing the appeal of a kids clothing subscription service. Subscription boxes seemed like good options for parents who might not be as hip in the fashion world or who don’t regularly go shopping with their kids. With my background and understanding of the business of fashion, I was skeptical about these services—until I tried it.

Rockets of Awesome is a kids clothing brand that offers a seasonal subscription service. Each box contains eight pieces, and is delivered straight to your door. The clothes are stylish, super high quality, and range in size from 3 to 12. Honestly, I was surprised by the quality, and also by how much my kids loved everything.

To get started, they ask you what your kids like and don’t like. Will they wear orange and green? Do they prefer plaid over camo? Do they hate top buttons but don’t mind button-up jeans? Will they not even look at ruffles without cringing? No matter what your kid is picky about, Rockets of Awesome has you covered. You can even choose between these looks: Cool (think bold patterns), Classic (clean-cut and preppy), Basics (monochrome and minimalist), and Sporty (fun and versatile). Plus, you can even mix and match your preferences if your kid doesn’t fit into one category. I gave them info about my kids’ funny quirks—my daughter is five and she won’t go near zippers, stripes, or any color that’s not bright, while my son who’s eight only wears green and blue. I loved how specific and personalized the questions were, and was excited to see what they would come up with for two very picky dressers.

The clothes arrived in an awesome box that my kids were excited to dive into, and I could tell right away that the styles were great quality. My daughter got an adorable tank top with beachy palm trees and rainbows, and she loves her “party sparkle skirt”. My son got the cutest silver bomber jacket that makes him feel like an astronaut. We ended up keeping nearly everything. Since then, we’ve received a number of boxes and what really stands out is how the sizing and quality are always consistently good—this is because Rockets of Awesome designs and manufactures their own clothes in NYC, rather than using a third party. They really pay attention to trends! I love that my kids get top-quality clothes that they love to wear and look amazing in.

Rockets of Awesome is a kids fashion game changer—you get quality clothes that are stylish and cool, and a service that’s super convenient. They’re raising the bar without raising the price—pieces range from $16-38 and if you keep the entire box, you get 25% off. I’ve finally found a brand that matches my fashion sense and suits my demand for high-quality clothes that I want for my kids. I even saw Reese Witherspoon’s son in a magazine wearing the same Rockets of Awesome shirt my son loves. Most importantly, when the kids see that blue box at the front door, it always puts a smile on their faces (and mine too)!
