Kids' Summer Clothes: Holiday Vibes for Little Ones
Summer is finally here! When the days are warm and the possibilities are endless, growing up is so much more fun. The right summer clothes for kids will make sure they can enjoy life to the fullest. So, what’s important when choosing their outfits? Here’s a quick overview.
Heat protection in every fibre
When kids are busy playing and having fun, they don't always notice when they're starting to overheat. That's why our summer kids' clothes are designed to be extra smart. Breathable natural fibres like cotton and linen, in lightweight weaves like muslin, allow the skin to breathe and wick moisture away from the body. Smart fibres like Lyocell have a cooling effect and allow for total freedom of movement. For this built-in heat protection to work best, you should make sure as much of your child's skin is covered as possible. Summer fabrics do their job best with longer sleeves and trouser legs. By the way, there are now even fibres with a built-in sun protection factor. How clever is that!
Summer looks for kids – colourful, fun, and fresh
From playful t-shirts and airy little dresses to Bermuda shorts and lightweight shirts, kids' summer clothing is just as versatile as grown-up fashion. Opt for relaxed fits and comfy elasticated details on cuffs and waistbands. Bright summer colours don't just lift the mood, they also reflect sunlight. For babies and toddlers, bodysuits are a top choice during the hottest time of the year.
Tips for carefree summer fun
The younger your child is, the more important it is to keep them out of direct sunlight. To check how your child is coping with the heat, try the neck test – it’s the best way to feel if they need to cool down. If their neck is sweaty, it's time to get into the shade and rest straight away! A hat is a must for every little one – ideally one with a brim and an extra-long neck flap. Older kids can wear cool caps. Everyone should relax during the midday heat – it's time for a family siesta! It's always a good idea to have a light cardigan with you in case it gets a bit chilly. This will help prevent colds and sniffles. Also important? Sun cream suitable for children! The higher the SPF, the better. Regularly apply cream to any areas not covered by clothing. This is especially true for their little nose and hands.
