White on White!

From sweaters and jackets to shorts, pants and shoes, white is a must have look for your mini hipster this season. Whether it be all white, or just one piece in an outfit, there is something very cool and almost sophisticated about a child dressed in white.

Gone are the days that white needs to be avoided for children. Most clothes can be soaked, sprayed, rubbed or dry cleaned to within an inch of their lives and they can still come out looking brand new.

If you are not game enough to try an all white outfit, pick a piece; it’s easy to team a white t-shirt or shirt with denim jeans or skirt, its clean and its fresh, and you can always add colored accessories to accent the outfit. There are some fabulous white jeans and pants for boys and ¾ length shorts for girls which can be teamed with a navy or red striped sweater any of the strong blues, greens or yellows that are so strong this season.

Here are some ideas:

For the Girls:

1. Pleated Polo Dress from Ralph Lauren – along with Gap, this brand is one of our favorites for clean, stylish designs, that are hip yet reasonably priced.  And the sizes range from 2-16 so there’s something for all the hipsters in the house:

2. Smocked Top from 77 Kids – this great summer top can be teamed with white short or pants (suggestions below) or would look equally as good with denim jeans.  And an all white outfit also looks great with a bright accessory like a colorful belt of scarf:

3. Cuffed white denim capris from Gap – these white denim capri’s would look equally as good with a white top as they would with a bold summer color:

4. Belted button-tab shorts from Gap – like the capri’s, these would look great with an all white outfit, or with a bright colored top:

5. Cotton Shrug from Ralph Lauren – perfect for a cool summer’s evening:

6. bright sunny scarf from 77 Kids – the perfect accessory for an all white outfit:

For the Boys:

1. Big Pony Polo in white from Ralph Lauren from Ralph Lauren – in sizes that suit every hipster in the house:

2. Custom-Fit Twill Pant from Ralph Lauren from Ralph Lauren – if you’re a slightly nervous about your little man being in white, these pants also come in darker colors. But we think you should take a chance…after all, that’s what oxyclean is for! And the colored belt breaks up an all white outfit nicely (and would also go well with the aforementioned polo):

3. 77 dapper straw fedora from 77 kids – what a great way to accentuate an all white outfit, while adding some function with keeping the sun out of your little guys eyes:

White on white? What a clean idea!
