Happily, this year’s SS26 childrenswear is nothing short of enchanting. Designers have leaned into the season’s prevailing trends with gusto, from gelato-soft pastels and whimsical nostalgia to the sort of playful detailing that makes small people look ever so cute. Expect bunny-embroidered dresses destined to be in a family portrait, ice-cream coloured playsuits channelling the pastel revival, ditsy florals lifted straight from a new-era cottagecore moodboard, and carrot-shaped hairclips that add just the right amount of cheekiness. We’ve done the trawling online so you can simply enjoy the spoils.
With spring photos, Easter egg hunts, family gatherings and church services filling the diary, it’s worth ensuring she has something suitably special for every moment. JoJo Maman Bébé’s sunshine-yellow frill collar cardigan captures the season's bold colour trend brilliantly, while Mimi & Lula’s bunny cape is pure whimsy – soft, sweet and guaranteed to elicit coos from the sternest of relatives.
This edit is full of colour, charm and SS26 playfulness. After all, no one wears seasonal cheer quite as effortlessly as a little girl, and these pieces make dressing for Easter feel like part of the festivities. They’re only young once, after all.
