Kids Posh Togs

These two items are new out from Cath Kidston.  Lovers of the brand will recognise the cherry design on the pretty all-in-one frilled swimming costume for girls.  A less frilly alternative costume is also available for girls, whilst the penguin design swim shorts for boys may also be substituted for a bright, spotty pair.

Fun designs with many co-ordinating items also available.

We all love our children to look smart and presentable and when they are wearing Marie Chantal they can’t help but do just that!  With beautiful styles and fabrics, this luxurious collection of clothing for boys and girls from birth to 12 will be impressive for a formal day out, visit to Grandma or just relaxing days at home.

Subtle colours dominate the collection, which contains popular items such as sun-tops and dresses, Capri pants and jeans, t-shirts and cardigans, coats, shoes and accessories for girls, tops, trousers and very posh suits for boys, whilst for babies the Marie Chantal collection includes a fine modern silk christening dress.

Longer length swimming shorts are much favoured by men and boys, and these brightly striped swim shorts are just the job for a jolly time at the beach or pool this summer.  Unique designs that look great on the kids but matching larger sizes for dads are also available.

The Viva La Stripe short is just one of a range of bright and cheerful swimwear for boys that are available from Starblu Luxury Resortwear.  Items for women and girls also available.

This pretty pink swimming costume from Kate Mack is available as a one piece as shown here for young girls aged 4 -7, or as a two piece top and pants set for smaller girls.  Both versions have the same strappy top design with a deep row of gorgeous fabric flowers around the waist.

A really feminine swimming costume that will look as good on the beach and by the pool as it will in the water.

If you like the design, perhaps you may like the dress in this range or the tunic top and capri pants set.

Bright and cheerful, these swimming shorts for boys are new in at Joules and we think they’ll go with a splash!  In a lovely red colour with grey and white sharks all over them.  The shorts have an elasticated waist for easy dressing and a better fit, but they also feature a rope tie.

Available in sizes from 3-4 through to age 11-12, the shorts are machine washable and will look great at the poolside or on the beach.

If sharks aren’t your son’s thing, he may prefer the alternative version which feature broad white and blue stripes with a Joules number 3 applique on one leg and a contrasting green waistband.

Both designs share the same shape.

Children just love playing in water whether it is on the beach or by the pool and with the Summer holidays not too far away, now is the time to be kitting them out with new swimming suits / trunks and associated accessories.  The thing with children is that they are in and out of the water all the time.  Getting them dried in between times especially if it is cold and windy is a real pain, and then you have to get the towel dry for when you need it the next time!

These towelling ponchos are a much better idea than towels for getting little ones dried and comfortable.  Just pop them on after being in the water and the children are warm and dry in no time, and can run around and play at the same time which is much more fun for them.  Also, by being covered up they are getting a little protection from the harmful rays of the sun too.

The first two ponchos are for babies and toddlers up to the age of 2 years, whilst the bottom two will fit children between 2 – 10 years.

Hopefully where you are it is as gorgeous as it is here today.  A beautiful blue sky and hours of bright sunshine, although it is still quite cold.  After the lengthy winter we have had, I’m not complaining though!

With thoughts of the summer ahead, I’ve decided today to bring you an item that will be much sought after during the holiday season.  Float suits are great for small children who perhaps are only learning to swim.  They give reassurance to the child and therefore help build confidence in the water.  The individual floats inside the band around the waist can be removed separately as the need arises and less dependence is required of them.

What is even better about this float suit is the fact that it is a UV protection suit too!  Whilst you can buy the two items separately it makes sense to have both functions provided by one item.  With a UV protection factor of 50 you can be happy in the knowledge that your child is having extra protection against the harmful rays of the sun, yet still having fun.

It is still cold outside but the snow has gone, so those of us optimistic enough to be thinking forward to long hot summer nights, the release of the 2010 Spring / Summer Collections including swimwear is a good thing.  Whilst stocks are at their highest, it is good to be able to choose exactly what we want to buy for the forthcoming season before we struggle to get stock.

This bright two-piece swimming suit for girls is 1950s inspired – the aptly named Polka Dot bikini!  Available in red, blue or pink the halter neck top matches the bikini bottoms which have a deep frill attached to create a skirt-like appearance. 

The bikini is available in sizes 18 months to 14 years, and is machine washable.
