The best kids clothes for summer, from sundresses to playsuits

With a nod to the French Riviera, Organic Zoo’s summer collection is designed for little ones to live in. Simple shapes in luxuriously soft fabric make each piece a real joy to wear. We’d team this classic tee with some frill culottes and sun hat. Magnifique!

The Sainsbury’s Tu range is fab for picking up every day basics that they can wear to nursery and the beach without fear of them getting grubby.

If your kids are anything like mine, T-shirts don’t look fresh for too long. Replenish their stash with this well-priced, fun three-pack from Uniqlo in collaboration with designer Anya Hindmarch. There’s also a grown-up version if you want to match.

An effortless one-piece makes busy mornings that much easier. And we love this durable (and affordable) little denim romper from H&M.

A collaboration between retailer Boots and singer Mollie King, the Maybe range is designed with affordability in mind (hurrah!).

The summer collection includes 48 new pieces – all priced £20 and under – and features stylish summer pieces, including waffle short playsuits and co-ords, as well as swimwear and sun hats.

Great quality given the price, we’ll definitely be adding a few bits to our basket next time we’re shopping for toothpaste.

A twirly, swirly dress always goes down a treat with little ones, and this one from Boden can be dressed up or down. Layer over a crisp white tee or add a cardi.

These hard-working, comfy cotton shorts come in array of colours for when the sun shines.

Tapping into the huge trend around fruit prints in kids clothing, JoJo Maman Bebe’s machine-washable blue gingham summer dress features all-over lemon embroidery.

The little ruffle cap sleeves and swishy skirt will delight little ones, and the breathable cotton is perfect for warmer weather.

Sezane has recently launched a “petit” range for newborns through to 12 year olds, and it’s every bit as stylish as the adult selection. In fact, we’d like one of everything in our size please!

Favourites from the latest collection include the unisex Joey denim shirt, which we’d team with houndstooth check trousers or skirt.

Available in this ditsy floral print, or a pink and white stripe, Arket’s boxy resort shirt is a versatile piece for throwing on over T-shirts and teaming with jeans. The print is also available in a dress and skirt.

Spruce up their summer look with this convenient two-piece. We love the abstract graphic print, and the comfy stripe shorts will also provide the perfect base for other T-shirts and sweatshirts.

Everything from the new Claude & Co collection is dreamy (breakfast dungarees anyone?) but these super cool oversized jeans have gone straight to the top of our wish list.

Rockahula’s extensive collection of hair accessories, update any outfit instantly. We always stock up as they make a great gift for kids birthday parties too.

Our current haul inclues these safari friend ponies, made with recycled felt and glitter. There’s also matching hair clips.

For a super cool wardrobe update, we love this varsity style bomber jacket with contrast buttons and cuffs. It can also be personalised with their initials or name, to make it feel extra special.

You can’t beat a fresh pair of cotton pjs for spring. Chelsea Peers makes excellent quality sets, and we love this unisex bold leopard print design on soft baby blue stripes. And we’ll be buying the matching set for ourselves!
