Kids Fashion Spring/Summer 2009 and Little Fashionista Tips

Spring/Summer 2009 fashion season for little fashionistas promises to be colorful and fun! Bright, juicy colors combined with stylish materials and cute accessories were featured in almost all collections for boys and girls (Brooksfield, Calvin Klein Kids, Miss Blumarine, Prada, Miss Grant).

But it is not necessary to spend a fortune on your little style fan, especially in today’s economy. We have looked through multiple collections to find the most stylish kids trends of 2009 that will help any parent create a cute summer children’s wardrobe on a budget:

Stylish Tip 1:

Kids are kids. Before we start chatting about all these cute colorful skirts and dresses keep in mind that children’s clothing should first of all be convenient and allow kids to move, jump, run and play comfortably. In addition, a lot of kids are sensitive to synthetic materials because these materials might not “breathe” well, cause itchiness or other discomfort. In some cases, certain fabrics may cause allergic skin reactions, so it is important to consider any fabric’s nature before buying children’s clothing.

Stylish Tip 2:

Choosing the right color combination might be tricky. Kids’ designers suggested 3 interesting color approaches for 2009:

Option A: simple and classy. Calm classic colors (jeans blue, grey, white, black) with classic patterns and occasional drop of color in shoes or accessories. This approach is always stylish and it’s hard to make a mistake: it’s appropriate for any occasion.

Option B: Mixing traditional bright kids colors (pink, blue, yellow, green) with classic white, grey and black. Brooksfield and Calvin Klein Kids solutions were interesting and very stylish:

Floral and animal patterns are quite traditional in kids fashion. For 2009 some designers went with bold and brave ABC patterns that look fantastic!

Stylish Tip 4:

Kids accessories are just as important as grown-up ones. Adorable colorful necklaces, shoes, purses are always a win. Interesting elements of the Spring/Summer 2009 season were huge summer hats. Hats are also featured in women’s collections for 2009; just add a colorful element (a flower, for example) and your daughter can wear it, too!
