Sarah Merrell with Gage Models and Talent Agency says parents can have a lot of fun with kid’s fashion with fun colors and styles that kids are sure to love. She says kid’s fashion is youthful, vibrant, fun and brings joy and cheer.

“For both boys and girls, bright colors are ‘in’ as well as mixing patterns,” said Merrell. “The colors and patterns this spring and summer are playful, bold and adventurous.”
