It’s shaping up to be a long hot summer, and there’ll be nowhere better to be than the pool or the beach over the next few months. But this leads to a dilemma: where on earth do you go to find gorgeous swimwear for the kids?
We at KidStyleFile have done the hard work for you, and rounded up the best brands for aquatic and marine fun this summer. From Polka to Girls 4 Sport, from Cuddlefish to Tiger Joe, and from Tkxi Surf to Stella Cove, the choice is extensive and there’s something for every kid from babies upwards.
Keep in mind, of course, that the Australian sun is harsh and damaging to delicate young skin, so look out for options that offer sun protection. There’s a great range of rashies on the market these days, and brands such as Girls 4 Sport and Tkxi Surf are 50+ UV resistant.
For sheer prettiness, Polka’s girly options and Stella Cove’s chic styles are perfect choices. Boys also have some great choices from Polka, and Tiger Joe do some great sporty sets for boys too. Babies are spoiled for choice with more Polka, along with the eternal favourite Cuddlefish and adorable Lil’ Ludy.
Check out all these gorgeous options for boys, girls and babies, and get in the swim for summer!
