Discover the cutest kids' spring fashion: Best children's clothes for the new season
Treat your little ones to these fresh 'fits
It’s no secret that kids grow FAST. However, there's just something so fun about buying clothes for children. Whether that's your own kids, nieces and nephews, or a friend's little one, we find ourselves unable to resist adding adorable new buys to our basket.
As a parent of two, I’ve learnt first-hand that buying quality pieces in unisex shapes means they last longer, can be passed down to siblings, and often retain a fantastic re-sale value on sites such as Vinted. Stick to similar colour palettes and everything becomes mix-and-match and can be chucked in the same wash.
And, thankfully, with spring springing, there's a new excuse (not that I need one) to indulge. So, whether you’ve got a teeny tiny bundle of joy, a sassy seven-year-old that knows exactly what they want to wear, or a toddler who’s all fingers and thumbs but WILL do it by themselves, these are the children's clothes I'd add to basket.

With a nod to the French Riviera, Organic Zoo's summer collection is designed for little ones to live in. Simple shapes in luxuriously soft fabric make each piece a real joy to wear. We'd team this classic tee with these frill culottes and sun hat. Magnifique!
Everything from the new Claude & Co is dreamy (leopard print overalls anyone?) but these lemon stripe balloon trousers have gone straight to the top of our wish list.
We think this cotton pinafore and t-shirt combo – featuring a pretty ditsy floral print – is the perfect spring co-ord.
This shirt screams summer – a message we can get on board with. And even better, there are matching styles, so the whole family can coordinate.
Team the shirt above with jeans now, and these hard-working, comfy cotton shorts when the sun appears.
Mini Boden's latest campaign features lots of nods to spring, including this sweet denim pinafore, with heart-shaped daisy chain pockets. Wear with this vintage-inspired knit, or opt for the coordinating denim trousers instead.
Update their accessory game with Rockahula's super-sweet crossbody bumblebee bag. Pair it with these matching clips and spring-inspired ponies for a complete look.
Tapping into the huge trend around fruit prints in kids clothing, JoJo Maman Bebe's machine-washable blue gingham summer dress features all-over lemon embroidery.
The little ruffle cap sleeves and swishy skirt will delight little ones, and the breathable cotton is perfect for warmer weather. There's also an adorable strawberry and watermelon version.
Sezane has recently launched a “petit” range for newborns through to 12 year olds, and it’s every bit as stylish as the adult selection. In fact, we’d like one of everything in our size please!
Favourites from the latest collection include the unisex Joey denim shirt, which we’d team with houndstooth check trousers or skirt, and burgundy bandana.
Available in this ditsy floral print, or a pink and white stripe, Arket's boxy resort shirt is a versatile piece for throwing on over T-shirts and teaming with jeans. The print is also available in a dress and skirt.
Spruce up their spring look with this convenient two-piece. We love the abstract graphic print, and the comfy stripe shorts will also provide the perfect sartorial base for other T-shirts and sweatshirts.
Tap into the same fruit trend (above) in a more low-key, every day shape, with this 100% cotton t-shirt that's ideal for nursery days. Just add shorts and jelly shoes.
For a super cool wardrobe update, we love this varsity style bomber jacket with contrast buttons and cuffs. It can also be personalised with their initials or name, to make it feel extra special.
This cotton two-piece includes a versatile elasticated pair of leggings and a heart-print embroidered blouse with a pretty Peter Pan collar neckline. The front-fastening buttons also make dressing a doddle.
You can't beat a fresh pair of cotton pjs for spring. Chelsea Peers makes excellent quality sets, and we love this unisex bold leopard print design on soft baby blue stripes. And we'll be buying the matching set for ourselves!
