Top Summer Fashions for Girls
It seems as though girls are growing up faster and faster these days. Most of the summer fashions that you’ll find for girls aged four to eleven are smaller copies of what is being sold in the junior section. For instance, jean shorts and capris are really popular. However, they are often embellished with sequins, embroidery, or artful distressing. The skinny jean look and boot cut jeans are also being found on girls’ clothing. The cut is similar to the adult styles but not quite so body hugging.
Bright colors are also popular for girls. There is no fashion power in the world that will stop girls from wearing pink and purple, but currently these colors are being sold in bright hues and often coupled with every other color in the spectrum. Even bright tie dye prints can be found on children’s clothing this season. It is on small skirts, short jersey knit dresses, and tiny t-shirts.
Another thing to watch for this summer for girls’ fashions is the billowy look. Usually the fabrics of skirts and dresses will be very light; a cotton, jersey knit, and linen are all very popular. This is good for kids who will spend the summer out of doors because cotton breathes well and wicks away moisture. Skirts and dresses are about knee length for girls, but there is a lot of fabric in the skirt itself. If your girl is into princesses she’ll like the fullness of children’s skirts this year.
Top Summer Fashions for Boys
In general boys’ clothing doesn’t change much with the times. Little boys like to run around and get dirty so their clothing needs to be durable before anything else. The standard look still applies, and there are all kinds of jeans and khakis for pants and variations on the basic t-shirt or polo for tops.
One of the easiest ways for a boy to be trendy is through color. Muted tones are in such as grey, faded maroon, navy blue, and black. Think about the color palette of the movie Twilight for inspiration. Layering a t-shirt and hoody, or even two t-shirts is very common. Rather than clothing, most boys are using their long hairstyle to look trendy. This can be found on even very young boys as it is very popular. The summer fashions for children are surprising close to the summer fashions for adults.
