Step to the Head of the Style Class

European designers have just the right touch of style to produce goods that whisper (not scream) — this is the absolutely perfect item. Introducing Childrenchic, an online boutique that offers beautifully-styled, exceptional-quality ensembles for babies and children, hand-selected from independent European designers.

Breathes there a young man who wouldn’t turn heads clad in a classic blue oxford shirt with a white collar and mother of pearl buttons, designed by Spanish wonder Pilar Batanero? We thought not. The same dude can be elegantly and comfortably shod in Canvas Slip-on Sneakers in Blue with a contrasting white cap toe, also available in beige, burgundy or aqua, all with the toe in white.

Also from Spain but for young ladies comes Poppy Chic, a red and gray ruffled blouse with shoulder ties for a thoroughly modern look that can be donned atop lightweight navy pants.

Anyone looking for a truly timeless dress will be enchanted with the Wonder Lilly Girl that features white lilies against a blue ground with a super-short skirt and an open back. Pair it with the silver sparkle menorquina leather sandals for twinkling toes and you have an outfit that stops traffic in any corner of the world.

For an even smaller fashionista, one that’s not yet walking, show customers sweet cotton footed baby pants that fit someone as tiny as a newborn and come with either pink or blue detailing. For another winner that suits either boy or girl, there’s the Spanish-designed Twinkle-Twinkle Newbie Star Set that includes a knit pullover top and footed pants in gray with mother of pearl buttons that surround a star on the chest.

One’s feet must always reflect the perfection above and to do that, let shoppers delight in the Safari Leather Boots lined in faux fur and made of fabulously soft Nappa leather. The Safari Rubber Sole version sports stylish laces; both styles come in dashing midnight blue. Canvas Mary Janes in light pink with brown trim can grace the tootsies of little girls that also come in white to complement almost any outfit.

And for a First Communion or young wedding attendant, there are numerous elegant looks including the Classic White Empire Dress with small tuck panels and a pale rose satin sash or, for a littler princess, an Empire waist dress in white with a ruffled bottom, Swiss dot flutter sleeves and a sash that ties in the back. Too divine for words.
