Perfect for Kids on the Go: AW09 at Calvin Klein Jeans

This season at Calvin Klein Jeans is classic and stylish as always. However, it does have a typically CK sporty edge to it, perfect for kids on the go. Denim in blue and black teamed with zip-up tops and white t-shirts create the base of the CKJ AW09 boys’ look. Touches of pink and purple bring a little colour to the neutral palette of grey and khaki for girls.

The range is perfect for classic, wearable childrenswear. It has a street style edge to it with the addition of beanies and hoodies for boys, but still has pretty dresses and skirts for little girls. The distinctive piece of the collection has to be the stone-coloured dress with puffball skirt detailing (below). Team this with jeans, leggings or tights depending on whether your child is going out for dinner or playing with friends. A polo shirt underneath can create an on-trend ‘preppy’ look for your little bookworm.

The range is available on alexandalexa.com .
