With trends in men's and women's wear changing by the day, children's wear isn't far behind. Be it cartoon character T-shirts or fairy-like dresses, the kid's wear section is also subject to fashion trends. The children of today are picky about what they want to sport.
Riya's parents John and Lekshmi say their three-year-old has clear ideas about what she wants to be seen in. Riya says, "I like to match my clothes with my parents' and I like mixing different things."
Lekshmi adds, "If her father or Iare wearing something unique, she likes to wear the same colours. Riya likes to pick up accessories that go well with her outfit. For instance, if she is wearing a light blue dress, she makes sure that her headband is the same colour or something on those lines. She also knows which shoes to wear and she loves to be stylish."
John, a marketing professional, points out that fashion for children has gone through a major shift, with cartoon programmes stressing on the need for it. "Just like for adults, where movies set trends, the visual media has been playing a role for children too."
Visit a mall, and one would hear parents explaining to their young children about what to pick and why one shouldn't go for certain clothes at the moment. Divya Hegde, a homemaker, says her three-and-a-half-year old son Pranav loves to wear the trendiest of styles.
"Pranav observes what his friends are wearing at school. Then he insists on picking up car-themed clothes. He also loves buying shoes like 'Scooby Doo' and 'Spiderman'," says Divya.
He likes to sport hooded
T-shirts and track pants that have pockets. "I like putting my hands in them and walking in style," he says with a smile.
Pranav also likes dressing up like his father; he insists on wearing formals — shirts, pants and suits. He loves sporting the latest patterns and styles.
"It's interesting, the conversations that take place when he pulls these clothes out from the wardrobe and how we explain to him about what suits which occasion," adds Divya.
Some parents who like looking their stylish best also want their children to set their own trends. Denzil D'Souza, a businessman in the garments industry, says he likes dressing up his two-and-a-half-year-old son Dwayne in the trendiest styles possible and buys anything that sets him apart.
"I am into fashion because of my work and I get denim customised, so I make sure I experiment with the latest looks on him. Fashion is important to me and I make sure that he stands out in a crowd," says Denzil.
Gone are the times when children consulted their parents about what to purchase or wear, says Ramya T, a senior manager and mother of six-year-old Riddhi and 11-year-old Ria.
"It's interesting to see how they understand fashion according to the occasion though — when headed outdoors to relax, they love sporting shorts and when headed to a traditional event, they bring out their 'lehengas'," says Ramya.
Fashion changes according to seasons and trends and Ramya says her daughters are upto date.
"They love matching outfits and even use my accessories when they want a certain look. Movies and television shows definitely seem to make an impact on fashion for adults and children," adds Ramya.
