playwear

Casual children's garments

Playwear is casual, durable clothing designed for children's active play—the kind of clothes that can handle grass stains, playground tumbles, and repeated washing.

The term appears mainly in retail and parenting contexts: The store's playwear section has everything from overalls to shorts.

Occasionally used for adults' casual athletic clothing.
