These days, kids want to be as fashionable as their parents and as what they constantly see in television and film. They want to be cool and hip, and not made fun of at school. They want to look as good as their favorite singers and actors, have designer duds just like them and be as cool as they think these trendsetters are. So, what are the hip fashions for kids? No the typical blue jean and shirt, children are actually interested in dressing a little fancier this year.

Everything is a little dressier now, the school clothes as well as the daily clothes as well as the evening clothes to go to the movies or a birthday party. Faux fur, rhinestones and even snakeskin are popular within the girls, even denim was combined with sequins, beading and embroidery. Girls are leaning more for skirts while boys are using trimmer cut pants.

For summer, vibrant and modern colors are showing, inspired by the 80's with neon and graffiti printed shirts and using a lot of black and white combinations. For girls, they are playing around with the hippie-chic look using shades of orange and brown, girls are more adventurous in fashion than boys. In a more romantic side, girls like pastel colors with glitter to add a little glamour to their outfits.

Pink is still number one in the girls department, fuchsia, rose and raspberry dominated every piece of clothing. Meanwhile, boys used more classic colors like navy blue, green and khaki. These colors inspire the camouflage and safari look for the boys, as well as the girls, where cargo pants are still requested by the young ones, but this year, the cargo pants are a little less baggy than last year.

For the holidays, velvets, silks and satins are still popular among the girls while boys are more classic and serious with dress shirts and plaids. Vests are also making a big entrance for this holiday season. Hats, gloves and scarves are always the perfect accessory for the holiday season, especially in diverse and fun colors and prints. If you live in a colder environment, these warm clothes can keep your kids secure and also let them play in the snow freely while being fashionable, just like their parents.

Children also love shoes, so girls are wishing they could use a little heel whenever they reach an age where they are allowed to, but for the younger ones, there is a wide variety of flip flops and fashionable flats in this season's colors, as well as handbags to finish off the look.

Children's clothing can be found in a wide range of prices, you should always choose wisely since, as you know, children grow, and you don't want to loose a lot of money in something they would only wear once, always think classic and think about combination. A nice pair of jeans that you can decorate is always fun for the older ones to feel trendy.
