Whether there’s a tropical vacation on the calendar, or a simple desire for escape, it’s not unusual for folks to take a trip to the local mall or boutique – or to browse the ‘net – for the latest beachwear. Surfing culture has contributed a great deal to modern swimwear, particularly among children’s wear designers. Kids are active, adventurous, and energetic, so they often need beach clothing that’s strong and durable. Kids are style-conscious, and want their clothing to project their laid-back cool. For all these reasons, surf-wear companies like Hang Ten Gold, M.N. Bird Co., Coral & Reef Beachwear, and Sand Dollar are all great choices for the little kahuna.
