How to Dress Your Child - 8 Trends in Children's Fashion

Let’s take a look at some of the top trends today in the world of children's fashion. Want to find out what to dress your little ones in? Read on as we focus on the practical, the famous and the downright strange. 

Bodysuits that ‘Pop’

And t-shirts, leggings, and sleep suits that make a statement. It’s all very well kitting out your new born in neutral designs and pastel colours, and there’s definitely a time and a place for it, but if you want to stand out striking designs and bold colours are the in thing.

Iconic Images

Iconic and cultural images are finding their way onto all manner of children’s clothing. It’s now very common to find prints that feature city skylines, regional icons such as London buses, and cultural images like American sport scenes (think motor racing, baseball etc) printed across childrenswear.

Fur Coats?

We said we’d look at some strange trends, we also said we’d look at the famous, and here they are combined. We give you Alia Wang, the 4 year old niece of famous designer Alexander Wang. Fur coats won’t be for every 4 year old, but when your uncle is a fashion icon you can probably get away with it. 

‘Look at Me’ Footwear

If you struggle to get your kids into practical footwear like wellington boots and sensible walking shoes this trend might help. Boring footwear no longer needs to be an option, parents are moving beyond Crocs to give their kids shoes that are designed to grab attention. They might be designed as an animal, feature typography or made to match an outfit. Either way they are sure to catch the eye and be easier to tease your little monsters feet into.

Polka Dots

Polka dots are back (did they ever really go away?) and we’re pleased to hear it. More suited to girls than boys, polka dots can spice up any item of clothing. As seen here featured on a snazzy pair of socks.

Cropped Leggings

We all know leggings are a great way to keep a little ladies legs warm and safe. Now with cropped leggings you can avoid any wet or worn ends. They’re also great under skirts and dresses keeping a formal look and your little ones dignity should a gust of wind leave her like Marilyn Monroe!  

Tutus

The tutu is a great way to create a stylish and distinctive look. Drawing on the playful nature of dressing up and combining it with full edged skirts to deliver a smart alternative to the standard skirt. Pair with cropped leggings to really be on trend.


Typography

Much like the iconic image trend, typography is also a big craze sweeping across childrenswear. From capital cities to inspirational quotes, to sports teams and exclamations of joy. Just about any word or phrase can be found stylishly printed on childrenswear these days.

Features of Ideal Baby Clothes

Parents always want to give their kids the best of everything. Right from the birth, parents nurture their kids in every possible way and make their kids their priority. Even the smallest need and requirement is taken care

of with utmost care. One of the most important things for babies is clothing. Babies need as many clothes as you can provide them with because clothes will get soiled every now and then. Some babies need to be changed every single hour because of several reasons such as vomiting, urinating, and so on.

This is the reason why you should ensure that you buy numerous clothes for your little one. The main factor to consider here is the comfort level. Your baby has to be very comfortable in her clothes. If not, she will be fussy and cranky. The material might even give her rashes. That can increase her problems as well as your problems because a baby in pain is definitely not something that you’d want. The best thing to do in order to ensure quality and comfort would be to buy childrens designer clothes. Designer clothes are always made out of the highest quality material and are manufactured based on the needs of little kids so that kids are comfortable and happy in their clothes.

While kids can’t comprehend style, you definitely can. There is absolutely no harm trying to give your baby a stylish look by buying her cool-looking clothes. There are many cute baby clothes for girls and boys for you to choose from. Just make sure that you buy the right size for your baby. When it comes to size, it is always ideal to buy one-size larger because babies grow out of their clothes very quickly! Just buying a size larger will ensure that your baby wears her clothes for longer. There are also many funky baby clothes for you to select from if you want your little one to stand aside from the crowd.

You can either buy gender-specific clothes in various colors or you could dress your little one up in cartoon-themed clothes. Whether you buy designer clothes or not, you have to double-check the quality of the clothes. The material should be soft and breathable. For summer, the clothes should keep your baby cool and for winter, the clothes should keep your baby warm and well protected. If you live in an area where winters are harsh, you could also buy clothes made out of fur materials. These will keep your baby protected.

Another thing to keep in mind while buying clothes for your baby is the neckline. It should be comfortable enough for your baby to breathe. This is extremely important. Otherwise, your baby might suffocate. However, you shouldn’t choose clothes that are too loose either. That can again make your baby very uncomfortable. Be smart and make the right decision.

You can buy clothes for your baby online based on the baby’s age. You have many different options to explore from.
