CARTOON CAPERS

There’s no escaping the fact that most kids, at some point, will be a dedicated follower of a TV or movie character. But never fear; you can let them pledge their allegiance in style, with a clutch of cool superhero-adorned tees and cartoon-print sweatshirts that will appeal to them – and you! Alternatively, go wild with an eye-catching animal pattern or photo print.

DOWNTIME DRESSING

After a week in school uniform, come the weekend kids love nothing better than kicking back and throwing on clothes that are easy to wear, comfy and – most importantly – fun. From denim dungarees to plaid shirts and graphic-print tees to relaxed camo pants and playful skirts, choose styles that will make getting dressed a pleasure. Add some colourful trainers or ballet pumps and they’re good to go.
