Kids Work the Latest Trends

It's not just celebs or adult girls that are wearing the latest clothing trends. Children are trying desperately to copy their idols from the fashion and celeb magazines to wear the latest must-have top or have the latest bag and shoes.

As a Mum of 3 myself and a 17 year old daughter, I know how important it is to Mum's to ensure the clothes your kids wear are suitable for their age and don't turn your little one into a mini Madonna! It is easy though to help them to keep up to date and wear trendy clothes but still ensure it reflects their age. It's not always about the individual item of clothing but how you put the items together - for example a really short pair of denim shorts is great, as long as its teamed with black tights and boots in winter and flat pumps in summer and not high heeled shoes or platforms. Wearing a lower cut hoody top is absolutely fine - just ensure you buy them a string top for underneath that has a higher straight across neckline - it works for you and will work for them.

Avoid High Street retailers where the designers just seem to make the adult girls clothes in smaller sizes. I am not keen on New Look myself as I feel they are one retailer who does exactly this, although I will say not on all their clothes. Asda is fast becoming another one. I was up there last weekend and the toddler girls clothes were ok but the older girl were just versions of the adult clothes and some, especially some of the slogans on the tees where what I would consider to be highly innappropriate.

Yes I'm biased but I am so pleased year on year with one of the brands I sell for girls clothes of Babeskin. I have not yet seen one of their items of girls clothes that has been styled inappropriately for the age of the child, yet is able to reflect todays fashions in their designs. Babeskin are a cheaper version of Roxy with not such a big range. Roxy are another brand who I feel style things appropriately for girls.

Take a look at this collection below of girls shorts in denim that I would team with this brown surf styled t-shirt which will look trendy and not tarty. For the younger girl these white crop pants teamed with this smock style tshirt works brilliantly. You can get all of these at the shop now at www.streetmonkeez.co.uk.
