Trendy colours: peach, turquoise and lilac

Several specialized boutiques for children offer similar colours than those found in ladies and men’s ready-to-wear, that is peach, turquoise and lilac shades.

Turquoise
Either light or dark, turquoise is a welcome addition in a boy’s wardrobe (T-shirts, polo shirts, V-neck shirts or bermuda shorts) and is often found in plaid patterns. As for girls, turquoise is worn in T-shirts, vests and leggings.

Peach
Peach for boys? Yes, yes, but a peach colour which tends to coral, especially in bermuda shorts plaids or in the design details of a T-shirt (for example the guitar strings on the white polo shirt have a coral colour). Audacious boys will wear peach on plain T-shirts found in certain stores. You like this colour but are not sure he does? Ask him his opinion before going shopping; maybe he will too!

Girls will wear the complete peach shade range also found in ladies wear.

Lilac
Your boys will wear lilac very dark, almost purple, in swimsuits, T-shirts or in the details of tops.

For your girls, they will love the whole range of lilacs, from very pale to darker purples.
