Clothing Trend For Kids In 2017
The world of fashion is not just for adults. Kids clothing also has its own fair share of fashion trend changes and exciting new product lines every season. The coming year has quite a bit of fun elements to it and sporty kids are definitely in for a treat this season. If you’d want to add a bit of functional and affordable fashion to your kid’s wardrobe, pick your favourites from the below selection of kids clothing trends.
The Distressed Look
While the distressed look was a big trend in adult fashion last year, the kids are going to enjoy it in 2017. The look extends to children wear in not just the jeans, but also in shirts and jackets. It’s a fun look for children, whose clothing tends to end up looking distraught after a few playtimes anyway!
You can get to look by opting for distressed jeans with shredded jeans. You can find these from Haus of Jr’s collection. Another funky option is shirts with patches on the shoulders or elbows. A woolly shirt with patched elbows and a pair of acid washed jeans is a great smart casual look for your children. To finish off the look, pair it with a worn out leather jackets and a good pair of Doc Martens. You can find clothing for the above ideas from Revolve Clothing.
The Oxford Style
When it comes to children’s fashion, the famous celebrity toddlers tend to set the trends – just as adult celebrities do. The most followed children at the moment? The British royals, Prince George and Prince Charlotte with their gorgeous Oxford-style looks.The so-called ‘private school’ fashion is definitely back with a bang in 2017 and if you are looking for something adorable and professional, this might be your pick.
You need to invest in pinafores and brogues, with a good selection available from Clarks. The site also has plenty of discounts to ensure you don’t need to spend a fortune on shoes and clothes that might not be in use for more than a season or two. In terms of fabrics, cashmere is perfect for the Oxford look. You could pick a cashmere sweater from Alex and Alexa to complement a pair of trousers or even jeans. The final piece for the Oxford style is a waistcoat. The Dark Blue waistcoat for girls from DressLink is a beautiful option for children.
The Super Sporty Look
But your kids don’t have to be walking around looking like royals all the time. Casual clothing is a big thing this season and sporty clothing is a huge must-have. The sporty look is great for active kids and it adds a bit more fun to their everyday looks. Not to mention, sportswear is not worn just on its own in 2017, but often paired with industrial chic trends. This creates a lovely balance of fun and fashion.
In terms of the trendy items, American football and basketball are big themes. You can find anything from classic NFL t-shirts, which you can shop from Sports Direct, to basketball trainers from Adidas or Nike. You could also shop around at Lovell Rugby for some rugby inspired children’s clothing. The hooded tops from the website are definitely a cute option for a sporty boy or a girl.
The Prints And The Colours
So, what about the colours and prints? 2017 offers plenty of excitement and fun. The big theme continues to be a Native American print-style, with Navajo embroidery featuring in plenty of products. Bohemian patterns and ethnic styles in general are a big hit in kids clothing. This is nice, as it adds colour and quirkiness to classic denims and cotton clothing. Another big print theme is floral and not just for girls either. Large floral designs continue to feature in clothing with plenty of detailing on girls’ dresses. Finally, Tropical Kitsch is a cool pick for boys and girls, especially during the warm summer season. It’s all about a tropical island print, soft and bright coloursand plenty of fun. For girls, pineapple skirts are a must-have and boys should rock a typical Hawaiian shirt.
In terms of colour, bright is the key for the season. Just as in adult clothing, colour blocking is massive in t-shirts, shoes and dresses. The clothing collection at Next is the perfect example of this. The colours can range from bright blues to jade greens. The key is to pick either classic combinations such as black with a bright colour or opt for new and exciting colour combinations, such as orange and pink.
The above trends are going to feature heavily in children’s fashion this season. This means plenty of fun and functionality, as there are great options for casual and smarter dresses. There’s also a lot of colour and quirky prints to choose from, ensuring your child doesn’t just go around in black and white clothing. So, celebrate the fun season and check out your favourite children’s fashion retailers for stunning findings this season!
