STYLE ADVICE:
OCCASION OUTFITS FOR KIDS
Summer calendar chock-full of social events? Make sure the kids are kitted out with our pick of the best occasionwear for little ones
Dazzling dresses
There’s nothing cuter than getting the little ones all dressed up for a special occasion. Getting it right can be tricky, though: kids need to be comfy, however smart the dress code. Pick styles that will ensure they look the part but will also let them run around freely, such as this jacquard floral dress. The puff sleeves and sparkling foil embellishments make it smart enough for a wedding or party, but it’s also super-comfortable.
Complete the look with our scalloped Mary Jane shoes, which have a dainty buckle fastening. (We can’t lie, we’d secretly love them in adult sizes too.) And if you’re looking for kids’ bridesmaid or flower-girl dresses, don’t forget to check out Monsoon kidswear.
THE BEST GIRLS’ OCCASION DRESSES
Sharp looks
Our occasionwear range for boys will help them feel just as smart as the grown-ups at their next wedding or special event. Check out Reiss at M&S – their boys’ formal wear selection features summer-ready linen blazers and shorts, as well as great-quality shirts and smart trousers. Finish their look with a statement spotty bow tie.
If the occasion has a more relaxed dress code, try teaming a suit jacket with chinos to keep them comfy all day. Don’t forget to bring something to keep younger kids occupied (and quiet) during a wedding ceremony – have a look at our fantastic range of kids’ toys.
