What's hot for tots this summer

Beach Safari Prints featuring hand-drawn images and appliqued T-shirts showing exotic animals. Girls can choose from flower motifs in sunny shades of orange, red and yellow. Khakis and other earthy colours are matched with textured fabric for boys.

Tees Girls should go for lacy and sweet, with appliques or musical motifs matched with long gypsy skirts, denim minis or capris. Boys can choose from rock'n'roll logos or animal motifs.

Military Girls should replace their spring jackets with shirt dresses featuring military buttons and pockets, belts and cute embroidery. Opt for olive and khaki pieces.

Neutrals Following from the catwalk, hues of creams and off-white are key, but they should be spiced up with bright colours such as pink, aqua, lilac or lemon.

Preppy For boys, short-sleeved check shirts or striped shirts are essential for formal wear, but go for young colours such as orange and charcoal. For a more casual look, match double-layered T-shirts with casual trousers or jeans with details.

Vintage Includes crinkle-washed pieces, worn patches, creases and slashes on printed T-shirts and denim. This is a good one for kids to create themselves.
