Summer Fashion for Kids


But when it comes to kids and summer, comfort is what most parents always take into account. But why can’t comfort be stylish? This season, we’re witnessing such pleasant tendencies as fresh air fabrics, non-constricting silhouettes, and versatile apparel that ensures that children can run and play fearlessly.

When it comes to juniors, sundresses have not lost their popularity during summer. There is nothing wrong with investing in cute and almost childish childhood dresses; therefore, opt for light colored cotton or linen dresses preferably those with ruffles, very large sleeves or cute cut-out at the back. Team these with some casual flip flops or sports shoes that give hours of comfort from playground to picnic.

This way boys can remain calm in soft cotton Bermuda shorts that can be matched with simple graphic tees or light weight button up shirts. Choose elastic waistbands and soft fabric that will allow your skin to breathe when you are out playing in summer.

Don’t forget about swimwear! Helmet and swim trunks for boys, and one-piece swimsuits or tankini for girls, have both the comfort of the look and safety from the sun. Some manufacturers’ products have UV protective clothing, and this top-up’s parents’ protection, as well.

Summer Fashion Trends

Summer clothes for kids have reviews from the increased individualistic trends this year, and clothing should be fun. Here are some of the top trends to watch out for:

  • Tie-dye: This fun trend is back and bigger than ever. T-shirts, dresses and trousers – nothing adds a carefree, hippie-spirit to the clothes as the tie-dye patterns do.
  • Neon accents: Not everybody can pull off neons but bright splashes of pink on shoes, bags or as trims on shirts or jeans are SO last year!
  • Tropical prints: Bright colors of juicy tropical fruits, natural print of palm leaves, and fabulous graphics of flowers make the clothes look like perfect beach wear for everyday.
  • Oversized fits: The most significant things to grasp about fashion for this season are the specifics like, for instance, leaving aside tight and constricting clothes – body-con, for instance – as appropriate for this season not only frees your skin from most restraints but is also fashionable.

Just remember that trends are fine to have fun with once in a while but to have your child feeling secure wearing what he/she is wearing is important.

Summer Clothes for Kids

When shopping for summer clothes for kids, try to look for items that will easily coordinate with each other. This means that you can wear more outfits together making packing for summer holidays very easy. Here are some essential items to consider:

  • T-shirts and tank tops in a variety of colors
  • Shorts (both athletic and casual styles)
  • Skirts with built-in shorts for active girls
  • Lightweight jackets or hoodies for cooler evenings
  • Breathable underwear and socks
  • Comfortable sandals and sneakers
  • Sun hats or caps

Pro tip: Select fabric that is not expensive and at the same time does not fade easily, or gets easily destroyed, through washing.

Bright and Bold Colors


This summer, it’s all about embracing color! The zests giving off brilliant and strong light colors are setting trends in kids’ wear. It is not a secret that one of the widespread trends for using the color in interior design is the play with the intensities and combinations of the color.

Some of the hottest colors this season include:

  • Sunny yellow
  • Vibrant coral
  • Electric blue
  • Lime green
  • Hot pink

There’s no shame in having your child wear bright clothing from head to toe, but if they are not jovial about it, you could always use the accessories like shoes, bag or hats to make the statement. In this way,they can still follow the trend but don’t feel overloaded with it.

In addition, for babies, pale shades of these bright colors are popular now. Soft mint, pale yellow, and light coral are perfect for creating adorable summer outfits for your little one.

Prints and Patterns

Trends in fashion prints and patterns are a great technique to introduce individuality to your child’s summer wear. In this season we have seen that people are wearing a lot of funky and novelty products. Here are some popular prints to look out for:

  • Animal prints: Forest animals, sea animals, birds, more specifically tiny flamingos or funny monkeys are always pleasing for kids and create cute patterns.
  • Geometric shapes: Fierce striping, polka dots, and free form geometric shapes provide contemporary children apparel’s design.
  • Fruit prints: Fruits such as watermelons, pineapples and citruses are appearing on dresses as well as swimwear.
  • Floral patterns: This season big and bold floral prints are in vogue as are the delicate ditsy prints.
  • Character prints: If a particular child is interested in his favorite cartoon or movie hero, there is a vast choice of similar toys.

Some basic advice for using prints, is to only combine prints that are of similar shades in color. How you can also reduce the over aggressive sense of the ‘Applique Bold Print’ is by ensuring that when you wear it, it is accompanied by apparels or accessories of a single plain color.

Sun Protection Accessories


Even though fashion can be delightful, it is important not to forget that sun protection is important for children’s delicate skin. To the delight of many, there are now a variety of accessories that can both look great and help with sun safety:

  • Wide-brimmed hats: Find hats that come with a UPF rating (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). Bucket hats and floppy sun hats are both currently in style and successful in shielding faces and necks from harmful UV radiation.
  • Sunglasses: Wrap baby eyes in shades that block UV rays. Employ shatterproof lenses and frames that are not just comfy but also safe, designed specifically for active children who are always moving about.
  • Rash guards: These swim shirts provide extra coverage during water activities. Many come in fun colors and prints, making them a fashionable choice too.
  • Cover-ups: Utilizing beach cover-ups and light kimonos provides a shield for children from external elements when they are not swimming.

A decent choice for baby strollers is a clip-on umbrella or parasol to supply shade as you wander in the bright sun.

It is important to realize that these accessories should function in tandem with sunscreen, rather than replacing it. Always rub on a sunscreen labeled broad-spectrum, with an SPF of at least 30, on any skin showing.

To sum up, the fashion tendencies for infants and children this summer represent a pleasing combination of practicality, comfort, and style. With the introduction of cheery colors, amusing prints, and sun-protective accessories, you can guarantee your children have both stylish fun and protection while enjoying what the season brings. Happy summer styling!
