It’s difficult to find a dressed-up child that’s not cute. Even if you dislike children, there’s just something about a tiny human styled up in designer wear that people can’t tear their eyes away from. One way of upping the ante with stylish kids is dressing them in junior designer wear.
Think about it: you too, shop for designer wear. Now imagine, a tinier version of you dressed in the exact same piece but smaller — like a Burberry trench coat. It’s the ultimate recipe for cuteness and instant Instagram child star.
Don’t believe us? Just take a look at Alia Wang, niece to designer Alexander Wang back in the day. Everyone gushed over her mini Wang pieces and wanted the same for their children. Fast forward to present time, Coco from Tokyo is taking over the Instagram fashion community with her bold and eccentric style, while Prince is the child street style star that everyone wishes they were at that age.
Taking a look at these tiny fashionistas should be able to convince you that you absolutely need to get some style pieces from junior designer brands for your kid. Don’t have your own? Steal your nieces or nephews and be the doting aunt or uncle every child needs. Continue scrolling for our recommendation of several junior designer brands to get started with.
