Wonder how to get that stunning catwalk look for kids? Here´s how to translate runway looks to real life without blowing the bank.
Boys love wearing bright colors, well, probably except pink, and this love only tones down once they enter young adulthood. Think bold, attention-grabbing pieces in masculine shapes and styles, your little man could surely hardly resist.
Fashion designer Kenzo understands this age trend, so for his winter collection presented at the inaugural Global Kids Fashion Week, his brand´s main highlight is a colourful ensemble for boys.

Classic parka coat gets an interesting twist by layering under it a bright top. Dark blue jeans and black shoes continue the masculinity of the jacket, while a red baseball hat complements the striking colored top.

This is because, once your boy decides this jeans are going to be his favorite, he´ll surely wear it often. It´s like hitting two birds at a time – stylish and practical.
