It goes without saying, you’ve racked the rails, scoured the shops and obsessed online for your own summer wardrobe, but what about kitting out your little ones? SS17 sees some of the hottest trends for kids-wear around, bound to make you forget about your own shopping and focus on the small folk instead. But don’t worry, if you’re unsure where to even begin, help is at hand. All the hard work has been done for you with this handy bite size SS17 Trend Report.

Here’s my rundown of the top styles to deck your little ones in this season…

Dive into the depths of the ocean this summer with some creatures of the deep blue sea. The underwater world is set to be huge with everything from crabs, whales, starfish, octopus, shells and of course; sharks! If you’re planning your holiday, be sure to stock up on some swimwear from the big blue.

It’s taken the Womenswear catwalks by storm and is now set to be checked off the list for kidswear too. Gingham has officially landed and it’s here to stay. A great choice for boys wardrobes to wear with denim or coloured chinos. Mayoral has done the sweetest swimsuit for girls too. At last, it’s hip to be square!

These prints may be small in size but they’re high on the cool-ometer. Add a bit of roarsome to your little one’s wardrobe with a piece from Little Marc Jacobs or Scamp & Dude. These look great mixed with neon on girls and khaki for the boys.

As mentioned on Alex and Alexa’s SS17 trend report, designers have gone bananas for fruit prints this season! From the juiciest watermelons to partying pineapples (and everything else in between) it’s the sweetest style to kit out your little ones in this summer. The strawberry pram shoes are just too irresistible!
