Across the majority of childrenswear trends this summer, colour plays a major role. From pretty pastels and nautical blues, right though to vibrant primary shades and hot paradise hues – colour is the way to go when updating your kids’ summer wardrobe this season.

So, whether you go monochrome tone-on-tone, or be brave and colour clash all in one outfit (a look that kids can always pull off), we’re sure your little angels will look great in Talent Management’s top three trends:

Beachy

Great for all the sunshine we’ve been enjoying lately, the beach look is set to be a strong contender among childresnswear trends this year. Look out for floral, Hawaiian-type prints in bright beach colours, such as sea blues and sunny yellows. We love this year’s WaterAid collection from H&M. All based around the colour of water, this uber-beachy collection features cute mini-versions of the adult designs for kids. Plus, every purchase will help WaterAid save lives and lift people out of poverty.

Urban

This spring/summer, your children will love the cool, casual and comfortable collections beginning to emerge in this urban highstreet trend. Utility shapes paired up with delicate pastels and bright and almond whites mimic the womenswear and menswear trends this season. We’re big fans of Next’s Peach Ruffle Short Sleeve Top, available from £11 to £16. Pair up with white Dobby Trousers and cute sandals and your girls will be all set.

Nautical

The nautical look is back again in childrenswear collections, and this year, it’s cuter than ever. For a trendy and practical look, combine pieces in traditional nautical checks, prints and stripes with upbeat accessories such as sunglasses and a denim Bakerboy hat or straw Trilby for fun in the sun this season! This look works equally as well for boys and girls, and there’s plenty out on the highstreet to choose from.
