Style Trends for Children for Fall/Winter '08


In Fall/Winter 2008 we saw a move towards more modest, conservative trends for children's apparel. The season offered a large range of trends that were parent friendly and fun for kids. Some of the trends we saw were:

For girls:
  • Solid dresses in bold colors
  • Colorful tops and sweaters (esp. in rich, saturated hues)
  • Leggings
  • Dark denim
  • Layering--cardigans, vests, shrugs, etc.
  • Flat shoes and boots
  • Baby doll tops
  • Longer tops gathered and banded at the bottom
  • Tops with puffy sleeves
  • Embellished shirts
  • Cargo pants
  • Camouflage pants
  • Bermuda short, skimmer shorts and capris
  • Colored and embellished denim
  • Halter-style, dropped waist, and empire-style dresses
  • Pleated denim skirts, tiered ruffle skirts, and skorts
  • Minimalist looks
  • Florals and lace
  • Plaid
For boys:
  • Less baggy pants
  • Lots of pockets
  • Camouflage prints
  • Shirts influenced by sports icons and surfing
  • Layered-look polo shirts
