With travel plans and staycations beckoning, the holiday season can be an exciting time for the whole family. Whether you’re hosting or attending events, dressing the brood is no mean feat. Style aside, comfort and practicality are big considerations for children. Here are some ways to help your family look spiffy for the next big activity.
Smart tailoring and casual fits
For glamorous affairs with a formal dress code, such as weddings and galas, opt for tailored pieces that exude elegance. Well-made clothing instantly elevates one’s look. While parents can go for gowns and suits, the little ones will look smart in Anaïs An’s selection of dressy garments. Great for everyday wear, the homegrown brand also does fun and whimsical pieces that are as comfortable as they are stylish. Think dresses with 3D organza butterflies, wings, ruffles, and glitter, alongside jumpsuits and linen shirts with prints. Besides apparel, the shop also carries quality leather shoes and sweet plush toys from established French labels.
Play with vibrant colours
An easy way to have the whole family look coordinated is to pick a colour scheme. Decide on one or two colours and have them choose their favourite pieces to wear. If you’re headed for a beach vacation or a hotel staycation, make a beeline for August Society’s resort-inspired pieces. The sustainable swimwear brand not only has eco-friendly designs made from recycled waste plastic, but also accessories like sunglass, bags, and apparel. Dress the whole family up in matching lounge and swimwear for a vibrant and eye-catching look.
Matching prints for thematic dressing
Matching prints are perfect for days when you’re in a rush and can’t spare a minute more to dress the kids. Fuss free and comfortable, Mimi Mono’s clothing is crafted with ethnically sourced cotton. The family lifestyle brand believes that a close parent-child relationship can be fostered through sharing beautiful clothing. Playfully pastel, the new marshmallow collection features an abstract print with pink and blue tones on shirt, dress, and baby romper. The brand’s Japanese-inspired kimono and jinbei also look adorable on toddlers and babies.
Accessorise in style with toys and essentials
Clothing aside, accessories are a great way to create a harmonious and polished look for the family. Parents can elevate their outfits with hats, belts, and jewellery. On the other hand, prams and toys for the little ones add a touch of style to the ensemble and more importantly, keep boredom at bay. Chicco’s range of strollers come in a range of monochrome hues, sweet pastels, and prints. Founded in 1958, the innovative brand prides itself on quality baby products. The brand caters to the needs of children from birth to 36 months.
The Better Toy Store stocks award-winning toys that will delight the young ones. Keep playtime fun at events, with the Plantoys wooden-coloured snap camera. The toy camera allows kids to view their surroundings through various colour filters. Alternatively, comfort them in unfamiliar places with the Trousselier organic linen rabbit musical plush. This designer plush toy plays a soothing lullaby when its tail is pulled. All the toys are chosen for safety and durability so that parents can have peace of mind.
