#1: The striped shirt
Buttoned up for Sunday lunch or tied around the shoulders like an adult on the way home from the beach. It’s definitely a must in every kid’s wardrobe.

Tank tops are summer essentials. This season, they come in a version with little flowers on the grass. The sweetest little pieces in your closet.

#3: The checked shorts
A bit longer than boxers and a bit shorter than Bermuda shorts, this version in cotton elegantly unites comfort and style. The bonus: the poetic colour of the checks.

#8: The navy blue T-shirt
Instead of a light summer jumper, try a T-shirt. This one is just roomy enough. You’ll want to wear it day in and day out – starting right now (because why wait for the holidays?).

Are they trousers? Are they jeans? Maybe they’re both. The ultra-lightweight blue canvas contrasts with red seams for a striking mix.
