Color Story
[Style Story]Key styles for this exciting trend include
graphic prints using bright colors and contrast with white, bold solid colors,
mini-mod dresses, and playful silhuoettes. Rolled cuffs and sneakers make it more functional for kids to play, imagine, and
reach their full creative potential.
[Fabric Story]In order to allow children to play and move freely, cotton and cotton-polyester blends will be popular for this trend. Lightweight linens and cotton batiste are perfect for
outdoor activities and will stay cool, keeping children more comfortable in warm
weather. Stretch denim and jersey-knit with spandex is great for tight clothing to allow stretch and ease during playtime.

[Artisan Amateur][Trend]This free-spirited trend of muted colors, layering, and vintage style is welcoming the creative and artistic spirit back into children with open arms. Pops of color keep this mature trend kid-friendly.

[Style Story]Key styles showing in this trend are loosefitting clothing with a more shabby-chic and relaxed look. Looser tops, natural
colors, fedoras and berets, layered cardigans,and vintage shoes are just
some of the focuses for this trend. This look is all about being casual while still
upholding an expensive yet vintage feel.
[Fabric Story]Lightweight and stretch denim will be
popular for boys and girls to add a more casual feel to the clothing. Jersey-knit
for shirts and polyester-cotton poplin for blouses allow for easy flow and natural
feelings. Wool gauze is also an alternative to cotton and linen, creating an even more
natural feel and a more mature textile.

[The Little Things][Style Story] [Fabric Story]
This trend includes oversized flowered or bow headbands and pendants, scarves, hats, and jewelry pieces for girls and
boys. Shoes are a focus as well, with the future shoe lines becoming more
decorative. Young boys will be sporting bowties and suspenders, while young girls flounce in bright jewels and legwarmers.
Tulle, soft silks and satins, gems, and ribbons play up the headwear and
jewelry. Soft cottons and linens are used for scarves, while suede, straw, and
leather are used for hats and headbands.
