What children's wear brands have the 'cool factor'?

[Kabex]

Is there such thing as avant-garde children's clothes? What clothing brands do you think have the 'cool' factor? I want to get my children some stylish clothes for an event we've been invited to but I want to find something unusual and sort of sophisticated streetwear (does that exist for kids - I'm sure it must!) - Any ideas/tips/brand names/styling ideas?

Mini Rodini, Beau Loves, Indikidual, Gardner and The Gang, Molo. There’s an online shop called alex and alexa that has a large range of those kind of brands

PLEASE do not dress them in monochrome as favoured by the try hard Istagram mums.

A really cool, design-led and curated kids' lifestyle shop here: scoutandcokids.com/collections/mini-rodini
Lots of cool clothing brands as well as toys and decor. Love them!

My kids wear band tees a lot (but only bands they like) skinny jeans, check shirts and docs.

[Leatherboundanddown]

My faves are beau loves, mini rodini, bobo choses, the animal observatory. Lovely, well made items that last.

Tootsa MacGinty! I love it as it's gender neutral and both DD and DS can wear it - expensive but great sales.

[Branleuse]

According to my dd and ds2, Primark is cool.

Thanks
@Hopintothescotch, I do like both of those sites -
@ButIamrightright and @Shantotto I agree, bottoms are best investment (and coats) as tops tend to be most prone to spillages etc

[Hopintothescotch]

Have a look on Alex and Alexa or go through the babyccino portal website for some ideas.

sainsbury’s tu has the odd bit.

[ButIamrightright]

Yes I do find with the cheaper tops it’s harder to find ones without silly slogans etc & very hard to find colours as they age. I tend to splash out more on the bottoms as I feel the high street is more generic with its patterns & colours. Plus I’ve found the tops get ruined faster if that makes sense.

I actually love Mini Rodinis random placement. Little Kitt has some nice prints & cheaper too. Papu also nice but ££

[Shantotto]

Oh and I meant to say I need to cut back on spending but I can't decide if it's to splash out and good bottoms or good tops. 🤔

I'm thinking bottoms as you see them when coats are on but sometimes patterns work best on bigger spaces, especially I find with some recent Mini Rodini the pattern matching can be a bit off on leggings.

[Shantotto]

@butiamrightright I'm really struggling to not rush out and buy it in every size!

[ButIamrightright]

We have that jumper too Shantotto😉

[ButIamrightright]

Yes to the mix & matching. I only buy cheap tees as DC tend to wear a sweatshirt or hoody over but splash out on a few cool leggings & sweaters.

[Shantotto]

I've been listing loads of expensive brands but I though my DS looked pretty cool yesterday in H&M jumper (sequins!) - £10 and Zara sale trousers - £4! Even if I do say so myself

S Oliver
ESpirit
TOM Tailor
Me Too
Villa Valla
Haven't been mentioned yet. (I'm in Germany)

[Wingbing]

pancake you made a very valid point, it's all about the way you mix and match them.

Not too try hard either, just thrown on.

[Shantotto]

Ooh I forgot Arrekid that stuff is really cool, patterns are amazing. And and Modeerska Huset!

[weebarra]

I'm hugely into Scandi - so Maxomorra, Duns, Alba, Indikidual, Smafolk
I also like Bobo, Mini Rodini, Popupshop

Don't know if they're cool,but I'm quite often complimented on what they're wearing. I have 2 DSs and 1 DD, 10, 7 and 4.

[TheLegendOfBeans]

DUNS!

Lovely stuff, Swedish and ethical (and expensive but hey ho).

[Shantotto]

@morriszapp My DS doesn't wear jeans but the last Mini Rodini leggings I bought were £29. Amazing quality, buy a size up and they'll last ages on him and I can resell for half what I paid.
