These days, many parents are paying an increasing amount of attention to the boys’ and girls’ clothes they source for their tots, with some opting to purchase designer kids’ clothes.

Such individuals may be interested in advice issued recently by Mags Milliken from Matalan. According to the expert, colour will be in vogue over coming months. She remarked: "High summer for childrenswear focuses on relaxed beach holidays," the Shropshire Star reports.

The childrenswear designer added: "Colourful vests, fun stripes, surf and palm tree graphics are essential summer looks for the boys. Neon brights are a huge look for girls along with big, bold, floral prints – fabulous for brightening up a summer wardrobe."

Meanwhile, fellow industry expert Nicole Frost went on to offer some tips to parents looking to boost their youngsters’ wardrobes. She suggested that in order to cope with the UK’s changeable weather, it is important that growing children have access to adaptable clothing.

She remarked: "As we don’t generally have clear and defined seasons in the UK, it’s helpful to make sure that your children’s wardrobes are interchangeable so that you don’t end up spending a fortune on items that will only ever be worn a handful of times."

According to the specialist, by making some "clever purchases", mums and dads can ensure their youngsters look stylish.

Ms Frost added that garments should be bought in key categories, such as T-shirts, skirts, trousers, shoes and so on. Meanwhile, each pair of bottoms should be matched to a number of tops, and vice versa. This means that the number of overall pieces is reduced but the different looks that can be achieved are "endless".

These days, it is possible for people to source boys’ and girls’ clothes online. And, as well as all the other offerings available, there is a wide selection of designer kids’ clothes.
