Get the kids ready for a stylish summer. Whether they’ll be frolicking in the waves at the beach, or making waves in the pool, they’ll need a swim suit or two. Take advantage of the opportunity to refresh their swimwear wardrobe with this season’s trends.
From bikinis to tankinis, from swim shorts to trunks, the common theme seems to be bright, bold, vibrant, colours and patterns. When it comes to kids’ fashion, it’s common for almost everything to be flashy and colourful, but it works especially well for swimwear. Aside from it being fashionable, it’s also practical if your child’s bright swim suit makes them stand out like a beacon, making it easier for you to keep your eye on him or her.
Surfer dudes
When it comes to swimwear for boys, the classic Bermuda-style swim shorts never seem to go out of fashion, which is great news for little boys who love to wear them. If your son prefers swimming briefs or cycling-style swim shorts, they can still take advantage of this brilliant trend. The basic concept seems to be bright and colourful prints, or bright and bold colours. In other words, choose an item with a busy pattern or print, or a basic item in a solid striking colour, and you’re all set.
Beach babes
The same goes for swimwear for girls. Whether your preference is a one-piece, or a bikini, choose a kaleidoscopic, psychedelic, or solid, bold swim suit that will make a statement.
Beachy accessories
If you’re going to invest in a new swim suit for your child, consider a few accessories that are not only stylish, but practical too. Whether you’re having a family beach day, or just hanging out at the pool at home, or even enjoying an outing to a public pool, your child won’t spend every single minute of the day in the water. While it’s vital that you keep them lathered in sunscreen, go the extra mile and pack a comfortable, loose-fitting top that can easily be pulled over a swim suit between periods in the water. Boys can use a swim top or rash vest, and girls can wear a lovely kaftan. Lastly, add a pair of funky flip flops and you’ve got a complete and cute little swimming outfit.
