Spring flowers are popping up all over the place, but not just in local parks and gardens — they’re also making appearances on kids clothing! Shirts, sunglasses, hats, sneakers and more are showing signs of sunshine celebrations everywhere we turn, so we took the opportunity to round up a few looks in neighborhood microfashion.

Kid sunglasses such as those worn by Zoe, above, and Talia, below, are “definitely” popular right now, said Darcy Le Fleming, owner of My Brooklyn Baby. Also, “small flower prints for girls and, for boys, comfortable clothing made of soft, lighter material.”

Five-year-old Abby (below) and Anaya (above) certainly agree with Le Fleming’s assessment on flowers. “I like flowers and tank tops and dresses,”Abby told us, explaining her daily style. On the skirt she’s wearing here, “there’s lots of flowers.”

Le Fleming’s observation about boys clothing holds true for two-year-old Dashiell, as well, said the Kensington tyke’s mom, Brandi.

“He’s just starting to have opinions so for now, pants for boys — that’s what makes his outfits,” she said, nothing the simplicity and affordability of having just a few striped, blue and other jeans on hand for various occasions.

Superhero shirts are also popular — for both boys and girls, as four-year-old Victoria knows.
