Our kids’ clothes drawers are full of variety, from the play clothes we let them wear in the sandbox to the outfits that make us cross our fingers and pray oh-please-don’t-spill-spaghetti-on-that.
No matter which clothes we throw on our kids before we head out the door, trends can easily be integrated throughout their wardrobes. I was curious to know, now that we’re just weeks away from summer, what are the biggest trends in kids’ clothes this season? So I turned to Abbey Francis of 3 Monkeys Children’s Boutique in Town and Country to get her take on what’s in fashion.
No matter which of these fun trends you choose for your little ones this summer, they can look fashionable and feel comfortable right into autumn.
