Children's apparel took on a laid back style in Spring & Summer of 2008. This season's styles did not have obvious references to earlier eras, but presented modern, casual looks that were very simplistic and elegant. Some of the key trends we saw were:
For girls:
- Light, gauzy shapes in all shades of blue
- Country style--plaids and prints on loose A-lines
- Embellishment--a little metallic woven into knits, cottons, and linens
- Loose A-line and empire waist dresses in lightweight, floaty materials
- Trench coats in various fabrics from lightweight denim to metallic linen, in mini to mid-knee lenghts
- Flapper style dresses
- One-button swing jackets and shrugs
- U-shaped necklines
- Grosgrain ribbon for bows at waists of dresses and laced through necklines
- Puckers adding detail at the bodice
- Tulle peaks from beneath hemlines
- Sequins
- Crocheted flowers, fabric rosettes
- Vintage motifs on distressed T-shirts
- Red, white, and blue looks
- Leander shapes in shorts and pants
- Hawaiian inspired prints in clean shades of blue for swim trunks
- Boxy jackets in ticking stripes
- Bomber jackets
- Military style
