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

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?

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 Grin

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.

We have that jumper too Shantotto😉

Shantotto · 17/01/2018 12:34

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

Shantotto · 17/01/2018 12:36

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.

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 ££

sainsbury’s tu has the odd bit.

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

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

According to my dd and ds2, Primark is cool.

SossidgeRoll · 18/01/2018 16:06

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

Leatherboundanddown · 18/01/2018 16:12

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

CrypticClues · 18/01/2018 16:57

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

BearMumma · 02/06/2019 17:12

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!

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

funkythighcollector · 02/06/2019 21:51

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
