Our Guide to a European Summer

Known for its colourful cliffside architecture and some of the finest citrus fruit in the world, this pretty stretch of the Italian coastline provides plenty of style inspiration for their holiday outfits. Fill their suitcase with sweet lemon details from Patachou and CAMILLA’s Mediterranean tile prints.  

And if they want to dress like a true Italian, choose a look by some of our favourite designers from the country. Monnalisa has day trips covered with a fun take on everyday childrenswear. And when the sun sets, it’s time for something truly special, like pieces from Dolce & Gabbana’s new collection, for a beautiful evening outfit. 

When it comes to packing for their French trip, we turn to Provence’s flourishing fields for inspiration. Think pretty pastel dresses and colourful striped shirts, crafted from breathable fabrics like linen and cotton. Our top tip? Shirts with button-up sleeves are ideal for evenings out — simply roll them down if it gets a little chilly.  

There’s so much to see and do in this part of France. And whether you’re exploring the historical châteaux or taking a well-deserved beach break, a comfy pair of sandals will be their best friend all week. Birkenstock’s moulded footbed hugs little feet and the adjustable buckles make for a perfect fit: just what your mini sightseers needs.   

Santorini's unique blue domes, stunning sunsets and picture-postcard scenery make it a popular destination for families all over the world. With plenty of photo opportunities to look forward to, your little ones will need an outfit to match the beautiful views.   

When in Greece, dress as the Greeks do by wearing calming blue tones to complement the island’s white-washed buildings and natural shapes. Bring the buzz of the taverna to their style with Marlo Kids’ tablecloth check skirt. And set sail on the Aegean waters with fun nautical details like stripes and sailor collars — an outfit set from Pureté Du... Bébé will do nicely!    

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town, there’s plenty of places to unwind like a true Ibizan. And when it comes to your little one's outfits, relaxed shapes and comfortable fabrics suit the slower pace of life. A cute crochet set by Mayoral is perfect for long lunches by Ibiza’s many coves: cool, comfy and, most-importantly, easy to slip on over a swimsuit.  

And no trip to Europe’s unique island is complete without a little sparkle! We love pretty sundresses with a pair of Mama Luma cowboy boots. Oh, and don’t forget the glitter too.
