10 Key Pieces for a Summer-Ready Wardrobe
The sun’s finally making an appearance - and just like that, the kids have suddenly outgrown everything. But refreshing their wardrobe doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. With a few key pieces, you can mix, match, and style outfits that work hard all summer long.
These 10 key pieces will keep your little ones stylish, on-trend, and comfortable - whether you’re jet-setting abroad or soaking up the sunshine at home.
1. The Classic Sundress

Let’s start with the most important piece in your little girl’s summer wardrobe… the classic sundress. A go-to for sunny days – lightweight, effortless, and easy to throw on. From pretty pastels to bold prints, it’s a summer staple that’ll take her from daytime adventures to evening outings with ease. We’re loving the fresh fruit prints on our new sundresses this season, along with playful ric rac trims that add a crisp, fresh touch.
2. The Holiday-Ready Swimwear

Whether it’s a cute frilled swimsuit or a pair of colour-block swim shorts, every summer wardrobe needs poolside pieces that are as fun as they are functional. Our kids' swimwear collection includes styles for both older and younger siblings, with sunsafe options designed to help protect against the sun’s rays. We’ve also got lightweight kaftans and beach coverups - perfect for throwing on after a swim or heading to lunch in the sun.
3. The Wear-With-Anything Shorts

Shorts are a must for active summer days. Choose classic Bermuda or denim styles that go with everything, or opt for playful soft cotton prints to make a statement. Easy to mix and match with their favourite tees or vests, we’ve got styles to suit every kind of summer plan.
4. The Essential Accessories

Think sun hats, sunglasses, and playful bags – these finishing touches are just as important as the outfit itself (and they make for great photos too!). As well as adding personality, they help keep little ones cool and protected on sunny days. Style and practicality? It’s a win-win.
5. The Short Sleeve Shirt

A lightweight short-sleeve shirt in cotton or linen is a warm-weather classic for boys. Look out for bold colours, fun holiday prints, and resort collars for an extra laid-back vibe. Wear it open over a tee and shorts for casual days, or buttoned up with chinos for evening plans and summer parties.
6. The Co-Ord Set

We’re big fans of co-ords! Matching top and bottom sets make getting dressed a breeze - and they always look effortlessly put together, even when they’re comfy enough for play. From chic crochet sets for girls to easygoing neutrals for boys, we’ve got your co-ord game covered this summer.
7. The Summer Sandals

A good pair of sandals is essential – think cushioned soles, secure straps, and a touch of shimmer for extra style credits! We’re loving our metallic basket weave sandals this season for a look that’s both stylish and versatile. The silver bow-back sandals add sparkle to every step, while our tan slip-ons are the perfect laid-back option for everyday wear.
8. The Smart Polo Shirt

Smart meets casual in this warm-weather essential. A polo shirt adds a polished touch to everyday outfits and works just as well for family BBQs as it does for holidays. Choose from summery shades or cool colour block styles to suit their vibe.
