Children's fashion is ever-changing, and in this blog we'll take a look at the current styles to look out for – and recommend a few pieces which make a worthy investment for 2019.

Try vintage styles

There's been a return to vintage-style clothing for both adults and children over the last few years, and this relaxed-yet-smart silhouette is perfect for kids who want to stay looking stylish throughout the year. Many of the best vintage children's dresses include beautiful patterns which they'll love.

Choose easy-care fabrics

There's no reason a pretty dress needs to be high-maintenance to keep it looking its best, so opt for easy-care fabrics which can be washed and dried without added hassle. This is particularly important for children's clothes, thanks to the tendency for kids to get a little messy!

Look for small details

Little details on a dress can elevate it beyond simple design choices, so look out for pretty collars and bows to ensure you're getting something truly special.

Opt for versatile dresses

Its much better to invest in an item which can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion, than to buy hundreds of different dresses which can only be worn one way. Buying versatile designs means you'll get much more value for money, and your child will always look and feel their very best.
