Top 5 Kids Fashion Trends For Spring That Littles Will Love

Mac & Mia, the stylish kids shopping service, predicts the best spring and summer clothing trends from fruity prints to cool graphic tees.

You survived those six additional weeks of winter (thanks groundhog) and springing the clocks forward (every parent’s nightmare) – spring really is right around the corner!

We know you’re mentally ready, but what about your kids’ closets? Are they stocked with shorts, tees, and sundresses that fit? Instead of dragging your littles to the mall for a disastrous shopping experience, hand the job over to Mac & Mia – a curated kids shopping service that ships stylish children’s clothing (sizes newborn to 6T) to your doorstep.

Signing up is a fun, simple process. You start by filling out an online profile and taking a style survey (think color preferences, outfits your kids like, and more importantly, things your kids dislike). Then you’re paired up with a stylist who will reach out with additional questions and hand select 7–9 pieces that cater to your needs, budget, and lifestyle. They all mix & match, so you can make on average 7 outfits per box. The whole process—from taking the survey to receiving a box—generally takes 5–7 days.

This fun, playful interpretation of everyone’s favorite cold summer treats (think ice cream & popsicles) guarantees to elicit smiles.

Who: All the girls! Whether she’s trendy, girly, preppy, or a mix, these pieces will sweeten up or cool off her summer wardrobe.

What: Dresses, tops, and onesies in bright, warm colors like pink, purple, and yellow.

Where: Picnics, birthday parties, and—duh!—when you go for ice cream.


Fresh Fruit

There’s nothing forbidden about fantastically fruity prints (think watermelons, lemons, pineapples, and bananas) that kids go totally bananas for.

Who: Girls, girls, girls and a few for the boys. Big, bold prints speak to trendsters, while more subtle patterns are just peachy for the preppies.

What: Dresses and tops in bright pinks and yellows for the gals; shorts, tees, and rompers in blue, orange, and green for the guys.

Where: Barbecues, the playground, and obviously the farmer’s market (wink).


Florals

Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. Miranda Priestly obviously didn’t see these fashion-forward prints and fun color combos. Plus flowers are just pretty and joyful—the epitome of how you want to look and feel in the spring.

Who: This one’s for all the little ladies. From edgy to preppy to classic to trendy, the selection includes bold standout prints, precious pink petals, and sophisticated stems in every color of the rainbow.

What: Floral print leggings from Petit Peony and Emerald August that are exclusive to Mac & Mia. Pair them with a basic solid tee or chambray shirt tied in a knot in front. Plus dresses, tops, skirts, and rompers.

When: Park jaunts, play dates, and all those garden parties.


Graphic Tees

Not your ordinary graphic tees, these are elevated in style but still playful, cool, and fun (think animals, positive sayings, and sporty themes). Best of all, moms love them as much as kiddos.

Who: This one’s for the boys, who love to rock shorts & tees all summer long. There is something for everyone—preppies, classic cats, trend dogs, and sports buffs.

What: Bright colored graphics—a roaring tiger, a vintage-style Chicago hot dog, and throwback beach scenes—are grounded on gray, navy, green, and white. Throw an open lightweight button-down over it for a slightly dressed up look, giving just a peek at the graphic.

When: Camp, cookouts, and ball games.


Under the Sea

The beach is summer’s highlight, so let them enjoy it on land too, in cute clothes featuring fishies, sharks, and mermaids.

Who: Hey guy! Hey girl! We got you both covered with trendy, preppy, and classic styles.

What: Knit shorts, tees, and rompers for the dudes in standout blue on white prints that are easy to mix & match. Girls get super-fun tops in pinks and yellows with sparkly sequin and metallic details.

Where: The beach, the pool, and the country club.
