Top Trends in Boutique Girls Clothing
A walk through a little boutique girls clothing store this spring is a walk through fashion history. This year's best-dressed little girls are sporting fashions inspired by the hottest fashion trends of the last fifty years. From the ruffles and lace of the Flirty Fifties to the girl grunge look of the Knockout Nineties, this year's junior fashionista has a world of styles to fill her closet. Here's a look at this year's hottest boutique girls clothing styles for girls from tots to tweens.
Welcome to the Sixties
Everywhere you look you'll see the influence of the Sixties in this year's crop of girls clothing. Fuzzy Wuzzy, for example, mixes the sophisticated elegance of Oleg Cassini with Mary Quant's signature color-blocks and flower-power to come up with a look that's absolutely adorable on today's tween girl. If Twiggy and Jackie O's closets got together, Fuzzy Wuzzy's 2011 little girls' boutique fashion line would be their love child.
You'll find lots more of the London-Mod-meets-Paris-Runway aesthetic sprinkled throughout other designers' lines as well. The dress collection from Elisa B from Lipstick features Quant-inspired color blocks used in very sophisticated fashion silhouettes inspired by Oleg Cassini and Givenchy. Look for swing dresses and A-line shifts in chic colors, dressed up with big buttons, oversize bows and flower-power appliques for a high-fashion style that's totally chic.
Earthy Sixties Meets Awesome Eighties
Crunchy mamas love the easy comfort of 100% cotton clothing in the slouchy styles of the Sixties. Mix up a maxi dress with today's dye technology and you'll come up with fabulous girls clothing that transcends time. The most popular styles include Hannah Banana's sublimated dye ankle-length granny dresses, splashed with sunbursts of turquoise, yellow and pink on a gray background, and Pink Ginger's color-splashed maxi dresses for tween girls.
For the littler set, look for tunic and legging sets and rompers in tie-dye prints and color block combinations that take you back to the Eighties. Ruffled bottoms, tulle skirts and bright, bright colors all pull together for a modified Madonna meets Punky Brewster look. Are they adorable? Like, totally!
Back from the Seventies - Animal Prints!
Kate Mack offers some of the most adorable styles in baby girl clothing. Inspired by the fabulous prints of the 70s and paired up with this season's most-wanted silhouettes, you'll find ruffled tops in pink and turquoise animal prints, polka-dotted swing tops and skinny leggings in stripes, polka dots and sublimated dye techniques that look adorable without sacrificing baby's comfort.
Nineties Grunge, Prettified
If your little princess is totally not about the ruffles and lace, she'll love Ragdolls and Rockets Spring and Fall lines. It's an updated take on the 90s Seattle grunge look, featuring buffalo plaids in pink, blue and gray, slouchy silhouettes and dip-dye sweat hoodies. It's got serious street cred, but prettied up for the modern girl.
If you're looking for the best in tween dresses, toddler girl clothing and baby girl dresses, look for the latest styles from Kate Mack, Hallabaloo, Hannah Banana and Little Mass. From ruffles to grunge, this year's boutique girls clothing styles are sure to warm the hearts of even the most selective junior fashionistas.
