The Kid's Clothing Companies The Fashion Set Shop At

From Mini Rodini and Shrimps to the high street's various gems, these are the childrenswear brands to know

By and Augustine Hammond

While shopping for yourself is fun (and boy, is it fun) there’s a special kind of joy in picking out pieces for the little ones in your life – whether it’s your child, niece, nephew, or godchild. There’s just something about tiny booties, mini playsuits, and adorable micro dresses that makes hitting add to basket dangerously easy.

Helping elevate the children's shopping experience are fashion designers like Stella McCartney and Rejina Pyo, who are creating kids' lines all infused with the style and flare of their main collections. From stylish statement-makers to playful yet practical designs, these pieces are as fashionable as they are fun.

Of course, we can’t overlook high-street favourites like M&S, Arket and John Lewis, which offer durable, everyday options that stand the test of time. And for those who love a unique touch, independent labels like Age Of Innocence and Tinycottons offer adorable choices they won't see on all their tiny companions.

Whether you’re drawn to bold, vibrant colours or prefer classic silhouettes in soft, natural tones, these are the children’s and baby clothing brands worth exploring now. Let the mini style spree begin!
