These fab designer labels all do kidswear - and you'll want every piece

Parents are definitely getting more experimental when it comes to shopping for their kids, purchasing secondhand designer duds online at a snip of the original cost and even renting baby clothes in an effort to be more sustainable.

Kitting the little ones out in style is another priority: perhaps it's the culture of mini-me dressing going from strength to strength, but it turns out some of your favourite independent fashion brands have children's ranges with everything you'd expect - quality fabrics, great cuts and a clear style sensibility.

Here are the brands doing kidswear you need to know about now...

For fairy princesses: LoveShackFancy

The dreamy, romantic-vintage line of florals, ruffles and boho-luxe appeal for grownups, LoveShackFancy, has a totally dreamy girls' range, that captures the NY-meets-LA feel we can't get enough of. Think smock dresses, swimwear, cosy knits and the best in party-perfect wedding and occasionwear (flowers, ruffles, bows and more). The range is available from baby sizes through age 12.

For weekend style: Zadig & Voltaire



Girls Can Do Anything top, £37 at Childrensalon - buy here



Printed dress, £92 at Childrensalon - buy here


Beanie hat, 37 at Childrensalon - buy here

We love French brand Zadig & Voltaire's kids' range for boys and girls because it's just so wearable with plenty of denim, graphic print tees and sweats, funky frocks and practical accessories (plus, the price point is good). It's inspired by the adult range, so has that insouciant French appeal, with a touch of rock-and-roll. It's available for kids from 4-16, and the spring collection is currently on sale at Childrensalon.
