Summer Fashion Trends for Kids in 2025

Children’s fashion is evolving…and sustainability, comfort and fun is all the rage. 

As we look ahead to summer 2025, we’ve compiled the top kid-friendly fashion summer trends for toddlers, preschoolers, tweens and every other age in between. 

1. Bold and Bright Colors

Expect to see LOOOOOTS of vibrant colors because sunny days call for brighter hues. From playful pinks and blues to energetic greens and yellows, bold hues are taking over children’s wardrobes. At Macrae Skye, colorful outfits like the Jamie Ruffle Shorts and the Vintage Caden Tee are our go-to pieces for examples on kids staying fresh and fun with this season’s liveliest colors. And pssst, did we mention these tees are THE summer wardrobe essential because it’s made with the softest, silkiest cotton-modal blend jersey. 

2. Lightweight and Breathable Fabrics

Summer is all about comfort, and the best way to keep your kids cool is by choosing lightweight, breathable fabrics. Look for clothes made from natural fibers like cotton and linen, which are gentle on the skin (& also environmentally friendly!). When the weather heats up, opt for playful tees, shorts and dresses that allow freedom of movement—perfect for running around on warm days.

Our favorite comfortable clothes for kids? The Cameron T-Shirt Dress is made of a soft cotton poplin and has the bounce + flair of a fun summer dress! This All-Day Long Pajama Set is made of the same fun tie-dye print…and is the perfect new “day clothes” to be worn from sunset to sunrise. 

3. Sustainable Kids Fashion

Sustainability is a key trend in children’s clothing for 2025. Eco-conscious parents are seeking brands that use organic materials, ethical manufacturing processes, and recycled fabrics. Macrae Skye stands out by offering sustainable choices that are both eco-friendly and designed to last. Whether it’s the Chambray or Stamp Print prints, you can feel good about investing in quality pieces that support the planet.

4. Graphic Prints and Fun Patterns

From animals to abstract designs, graphic prints and fun patterns are huge for kids' fashion in 2025. Expect to see whimsical designs, like the Pink Elephant Print in our Pixie Dress and Sledding Penguins in our holiday pajamas, popping up on dresses, t-shirts, and rompers. These playful patterns are perfect for adding personality to your child’s wardrobe while keeping things casual and comfortable for those summer adventures.

5. Gender-Neutral Styles

Gender-neutral kids clothing continues to grow in popularity, with more parents opting for versatile pieces that can be worn by kids of all genders. Macrae Skye’s collection features several unisex options, such as the Kindness Matters graphic tees and the Hamptons Stripe tee, which provide comfort, style, and inclusivity for all children.

All in all, this summer is all about embracing bold colors, sustainable fabrics, and fun designs. Jump in, because we’re getting ready for a stylish, eco-conscious, and playful summer ahead!
