Children’s clothing tips

By popular demand, we bring you our fashion tips for children!

Children’s clothes are a really difficult thing to get right. On the one hand they grow out of them so quickly, on the other you want them to feel that they fit in and that they look good. When I grew up in the 80′s the kids fashion was fabulous. Bright colours and ridiculous hairstyles… You really could get away with anything! We loved (and dressed like) our favourite television and cartoon characters. But in these modern times of ‘baby gap’ and ‘zara kids’ children’s fashion has gotten so much more… boring…

So the best approach these days is a compromise between value and fashion. When it comes to shoes a good fit is essential and it is well worth paying over the odds to get the best possible pair of shoes. When it comes to other items of clothing there is considerable scope to slash the budget.

Plain essentials such as trousers and coats are worth spending that bit extra on, they will last longer and do a better job of protecting your child from the elements. Fancier items such as pretty t-shirts and accessories can be where your budget can be made to stretch further. Consider items from charity shops or from supermarkets, you’ll be surprised what you can get for your money!

Spend money on the important things and save when it comes to fashion. Compromise is the key to dressing your children wisely yet cheaply!

Summer Fashion

In my opinion, the best fashion accessories this year are going to be retro sunglasses and necklaces. In fact, they have been the best fashion items for years now and no-one has really taken full notice of them like they deserve.

Retro sunglasses are on this years fashion rota. You can get them cheaply from most clothes shops and they complement most types and styles of clothing. Ranging in many different plain colours, there is a lot to choose from and there will be a type of sunglasses, whether it be red or white, that suits everyone.

Necklaces never really went out of fashion, and a silver or gold necklace can bring out a person’s true fashion sense. The idea of a necklace on both males and females accentuates the neck area and allows the item to go with many different types of clothing. You can also opt for the slightly Mediterranean bead styles necklaces because those offer the same credibility as the gold or silver ones at a fraction of the price.
