KIDS' KINGDOM
Written by Lara Myall, contributing fashion and beauty director
We’ve got a new-season style timetable just for the kids, with a class on colour, lessons with the flower fairies, print workshops and a trip to the skate park. Get down with the latest kids’ fashions with our top trends for the little people in your life.
Baby Bloom!
Fashion’s secret garden, isn’t so secret any more as darling buds, forget-me-not florals and petal-embellished pieces start to blossom. Wannabe prom princesses can play dress up in pop-up posy-print dresses, while cutesy floral blouses and cardigans, Capri pants and hair embellishments, are a must for all aspiring flower fairies.
Styling tip: Clash up different floral patterns to update the flower girl look.
Fluoro-Fantastic
Sunny style is shining down on the kids’ fashion kingdom this season, so colour in your little ones’ wardrobes with a flash of fluoro here and a brushstroke of painterly brights there. Pops of statement colour make their mark on everything and anything and are a sure-fire way to bring a smile to every kid’s face.
Styling tip: Team eye-popping brights with candy colours to play down the dazzle factor.
Skater World
There’s a new cool kid on the block as the streetwear trend hits the playground. Look out for sole style icons like the skater shoe, give your kids a voice with shouty tees and sweatshirts or give them a head start with snapbacks and beanies.
Styling tip: There’s no need to buy into the whole look — skater-inspired accessories and footwear are statement enough.
Print Club
Get your kids’ wardrobes in shape with the latest power prints on the scene. Zig zags, stripes, spots, animal motifs and checks are the need-to-know patterns. They’re great for disguising spillages too!
Styling tip: Mash up the patterns for fun days out or match them up for smarter occasions.
