Preview AW17: Kids Fashion

Nowadays kids are very opinionated on what they want to wear and sometimes you can see on public transports some styling efforts by a 4 years old who mixes a voile skirt with a dragon jumper, faux fur coat and gold shoes. I've seen at various press days lovely garments for kids, some of them also a "mini me" version of their parents.

*In Store*  This long sleeves T - shirt by Cath Kidston has got a dragon on the front and dragons spikes down one side. It is part of the boys range with the Cath Kids label, but I think that it is quite unisex. A matching cardigan is also available as well as a backpack. Sizes are available from 1 to 6 years old. www.cathkidston.com

*In Store*  Invest in a warm padded parka with detachable mittens by Baker by Ted Baker for Debenhams. The lining has got  a beautiful floral print, a faux fur trimmed hood and it is machine washable. It will see your little girl through all the winter. Sizes are from 18 months up to 6 years old.

*In Store*  Being a fan of Dr Martens I think that it is never too early to start wearing them. I've found these gold beauties at the AlexandAlexa website, where all the best brands are grouped under one roof, all dedicated to stylish kids. These boots go from size 28 to size 35. www.alexandalexa.com

*In Store*  I've got a friend of mine who always bought for her children Geox shoes and she buys them for herself too because of its original perforated sole that leaves your feet breath. These JR New Jocker trainers are lovely with its navy colour, lights and fuchsia details. Stars and wings are printed and they are easy to wear with the adjustable fastening. Sizes are from 24 to 38.  www.geox.com

*In Store*   Wellies are essentials in any kids wardrobe and Joules has got a great selection with nice prints for both girls and boys. These polar bears camouflage print wellies are perfect, made of hard wearing rubber. With a pair of nice thick socks your kids can have fun with no worries if mud gets splatted on their shoes . Sizes are for children from 3 1/2 years old up to 13 years old.  www.joules.com

*In Store*   It is time to start school again, or for the first time, so nothing can beat a new lunch bag. At the National Gallery shop there is a whole range of "Katie in London" and among them this lunch bag with padded lining and durable material, easy to wipe clean, will be perfect. Pair it with a matching pencil case and a drink bottle. www.nationalgallery.co.uk

*In Store*   Stars are a favourite theme among kids and these two Galactic trainers by Mini Miss KG by Kurt Geiger embrace the trend spot on. Available either in white with silver stars or navy with gold stars, these suede trainers will be the shoes of choice for girls from 2 to 13 years old.  www.kurtgeiger.com

*In Store*   I love this denim jacket with padded lining and faux fur collar by Levi's. Embellished with iconic badges it will be perfect to keep warm your 1 to 3 years old baby. It is machine washable and you can find it at AlexandAlexa website. www.alexandalexa.com

*Not Yet*   When back from our holidays our children always need a new wardrobe because they've grown up and a coat is one of those garments that needs to be bought. This beautiful burgundy parka by M & Co with faux fur trimmed hood is perfect to fend off the cold days that will come. With a practical zip and button fastened pockets, it will see your girl through the whole season. www.mandco.com

*Not Yet*  Keep an eye for this lovely coat with a faux fur collar at Mothercare. I like the stitched detail at the waist that gives a bit of a twist and making it looks like mum's coat. Check for its arrival at www.mothercare.com

*In Store*   A hat is an essential item for the coming season. This one is by Next in a bright electric blue and a multi colour pompom. It is available in black with black pompom and khaki with pink pompom. Sizes go from 3 to 16 years old.  www.next.co.uk

*In Store*  Among all the cartoon characters Hello Kitty is one of the most popular ones. At Paperchase there is a whole range of school stationery and accessories dedicated to the Japanese Bobtail cat by Sanrio. This denim backpack is great with all the badges stitched on it. A web exclusive set is also available with a matching pencil case and a cup with straw.  www.paperchase.co.uk
