Trending Colours for Kids in the Last 4 Years: Vibrant Hues that Spark Imagination and Style
Kids’ fashion and design have seen exciting transformations in recent years, from an explosion of vibrant colours that bring joy, creativity, and style to their world, to the more muted, neutral tones that are currently in vogue. Tell us, what’s your preference for kids colours?
Our initial release saw a combination of deep, bold shades together with lighter and bright colours. Drop two was all about vibrancy. ‘Make them as neon as you can,’ we instructed our resident artist. And you guys loved them. Then we noticed the increasing popularity of the neutral. Shades of taupe were everywhere with beautiful minimalistic nurseries and wardrobes leading the fold. Our most recent designs were a nod to these changing tastes – Following the Sun and Peachy SeaQueen – favoured softer shades in aqua and peach – no filter needed here – and have won over our cino community. Here’s to riding the colour zeitgeist into the future.
In this post, we’ll take a journey through the last four years and explore the trending colours that have captured the hearts of kids and parents alike. From bold primaries to soft pastels, these hues have sparked imagination and added a touch of whimsy to kids’ fashion, room decor, and more. Let’s dive into the colourful world of children’s trends!
