As sport-style garments continue to dominate as a fashion trend within themselves, we see this shift evolving into kids’ clothing. Specifically, the retro
influences of shell suits and color-blocked stripes support a spectrum of primary and secondary tones from the elemental palette. Application onto
lightweight nylons as well as stretch viscose and rayons will further support the sporty narrative of these designs. Chevrons and panelled stripes are key,

point of interest.

continuing the softer SS25 Pastel Plaids or opting for a more energized color combination, there is scope to experiment with tones to create a unique
statement.
Playing with scale as well as color can further optimize the unique direction for these prints.
