Pretty up little girls’ wardrobes for early summer tea parties in the garden. On the kids’ catwalks, patterns and prints, flowers and frills were mixed together for maximum cuteness.

At Monnalisa, a grass lawn was laid as the runway for the models to play out their own summer garden tea party. Floral print mini skirts were combined with white vests layered under striped bolero cardis and polka-dot decorated sunhats. Frills, florals and crocheted creations were also worked into the tea-party look at Ralph Lauren, Noa Noa and Marni for Kids.

On the high street at Mini Boden, a patchworked summer dress summed up this easy-to-wear trend for girls. Worn with a crocheted cardigan and accessorized with a matching patchworked head scarf, it’s a look that little girls will love to get dressed up in.

Boys can get in on the trend, too! Add a splash of retro style to their wardrobes with a floral print shirt and mixed with striped shorts to get the tea-party look of this season.

Craft this easy-to-create-look yourself by patchworking floral print, stripes or checks together, or sew frills onto T-shirt sleeves or long shorts. Alternatively, crochet up a cropped cardi to be layered over a floral-print dress or top – perfect for a tea party in the garden!
