Children’s Fashion Trends from Europe

Nowadays, children's fashion can't be distinguished from the latest trends in young adults' wear. Inspiration doesn't come from the street or the music industry anymore but from the catwalks around the globe. And those designs are transformed into children's fashion in a flash. For the new autumn/winter season, fashion is showing its gusto with colour, designs, new fabrics, and decorative elements, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time. Colour abstinence is a thing of the past as is the emphasis on high-tech and functionalism. Just like for grown-ups, having fun and being fashionable are key.
Warm colours, reminiscent of the "Country Colours" and focusing on brown tones, pumpkin orange, berry and heather shades, will take centre stage. Pine green, dark blue and denim blue are the basic colours, while bright red and turquoise set the accents. And for boys, anthracite and black will remain in the picture.
In addition to colour, the variety of patterned fabrics will set a really new fashion statement. Check patterns both large and small, diagonal or straight, woven, printed or knitted will be among the favourites with girls and boys. Various types of decorative elements will also be in the picture such as embroidery, fur trim, and lots of riveting. Metal glitter in gold, silver, and copper is as important for kids as it is for adults this season.
Fabrics with cuddly wool textures are also new. Corduroy, velveteen, and teased cotton are sure to be hits, as are soft leather imitations suitable for skirts, trousers, and jackets. Things will get cuddly, too, with all the shag and fur fabrics, as well as velvety fleece and lots of knits. Denim is still key as a basic fabric, but jeans will also remain a hot item for jacket, shirt, and trouser designs. Padded techno fabrics cannot be dismissed even when the "technical" elements fade into the background.
“Mix-and-match” clothing is at the top of the list this season, offering lots of new ideas. Tank-tops with blouses or T-shirts and regular shirts will be combined with "leather" trousers or knee-length skirts. Along with that comes a whole new selection of jacket styles ranging from blazers to fur-lined jean jackets. Friendly accessories like tights in bright colours or patterns, fur backpacks, embroidered boots and belts with lucky charms or coins attached to them will be a "must" next winter.
