Summer has finally arrived and we can bet that no one is looking forward to a season of sunshine and fun more than your kids. Whether you’re planning for summer camp, days spent at the beach, or a stacked playdate schedule, Team SN has pulled together all the essentials for any kind of warm-weather activity. Take some time and scroll through our kid's styling picks inspired by the playful, relaxed energy we’re manifesting for you and your family this summer.

Summer Party

Between BBQs, pool parties, and the end of the school year, summer is certainly the time to celebrate. The embroidered set in ivory is lightweight and loose-fitting, making it perfect for any playdate or summertime festivity. For a more formal event, we recommend the embroidered long sleeve dress for a classic and comfortable look. And since we love a mommy and me moment, we made the perfect match for mom too! Pair either option with Birkenstock’s Arizona Metallic Slide Sandals and a beige straw hat to create the perfect fit for any and all summertime celebrations.

Day on the Go

Whether you’re with the fam on vacation or dropping your kids off at day camp, your little ones need outfits that can handle the wear and tear of everyday life. The casual and comfortable ribbed set comes in six different colors and pairs perfectly with Superga’s classic velcro sneakers. If you want to dress your tot in an outfit that’s a step up from playtime attire, this floral ruffle set is our latest obsession—and yes, we have a matching dress for mom too! Bumps and scrapes are inevitable when it comes to kids, but luckily Welly Bandages has got you covered with a variety of “bravery badges” that feature everything from unicorns to “peculiar pets.”

Cozy at Home

While summer brings plenty of beach days and sunshine, there’s also the occasional mid-day downpour. That being said, while rainy days are inevitable, they don’t have to dampen the mood. If you find that bad weather is bringing gloomy energy along with it, we’re loving Superga’s yellow sneakers and the embroidered rainbow sweat set to add a splash of color and positivity to any rainy afternoon. Or, if you really want to embrace cozy time spent at home, treat your kids to an organic, luxurious, and affordable Avocado mattress along with the patchwork crewneck sweatshirt for the ultimate snuggly summer day.

Beach Day

Spending time oceanside is a given when it comes to summer, so of course team SN has compiled a list of the best beach day recommendations. To protect your kids from the strong seasonal sun, we can't get enough of Supergoop’s sunscreen for kids that includes a wide range of lotions, mineral sprays, and lip shields. If you’re looking for some extra defense against a potential sunburn, we’re obsessed with Hemlock Hat Co.’s Capri Visor in Honeycomb and Petit Peony's long-sleeve rash guard that comes in four different patterns. In search of a cute beach day cover-up? SN’s floral tie shoulder top & shorts is the perfect set that your little one can wear straight from breakfast to the beach.
