Taking the small ones to a wedding, naming ceremony or posh garden party this summer? Here are our occasionwear top picks…
Dressing kids for smart events can be tricky – you know they’ll be filthy after five minutes (especially if there’s grass and/or ice cream involved) and really they’d just rather wear their Paw Patrol pyjamas, thanks very much. We can’t help much with that, but we can take the stress out of finding the perfect pieces with our kids’ occasionwear top picks…
For babies and toddlers
As cute as little ones look in fancy outfits, clothes have to be practical, too… let’s face it, no one wants to be wrestling a pair of tights onto a wriggly 18 month old in a tiny church toilet! For girls, we love this dress and matching - the cute yellow print is perfect for summer and it’s light and comfortable, too.
For boys, we just can’t get over how cute this shorts and shirt set is, plus each piece can be worn separately after the event, too!

For girls
Party dresses don’t have to mean glitter and tulle – for less girly girls, this beautiful embroidered dress has just enough detail to give it that special feel. Teamed with pretty leather sandals and a lightweight cardi, it makes the perfect wedding guest outfit.
For boys
Mini bowties are always a winner – especially if you can twin with dad – so we love this lightweight shirt and tie combo. Add in some classic chinos and a pair of suede loafers to create an outfit that looks smart and allows for a sneaky game of football, too.
