Now that we've officially entered the summer season, it's often painfully obvious when the kids have outgrown their clothes from last year. Whether you've donated their old dragon shirt or given their floral pants to a younger family member, now is the perfect time to introduce new additions to their mini outfits.
For a day at the pool, snag the island-red swim trunks by Hanna Andersson for the boys to cannonball in, or for those special occasions at Grandma's, pick out a denim Calvin Klein dress for the girls. No matter what you do with the kids this summer, they'll have the fashion that fits.
