In the 1960s, The Beatles defined style for an entire generation of young people. Forty years later, a Beatle offspring is shaping the face of fashion for an even younger set – children and toddlers. Stella McCartney’s children’s line for The Gap is supremely hip without losing the necessary functionality that is a must-have when clothing kids.
The collection is primarily comprised of muted tones and classic pieces – henleys, flannel shirts, and jeans make up the bulk. Where the style comes is in is in the details – the five-pocket washed black jean for boys, for example, looks like something straight out of a trendy music magazine like NME. For girls, McCartney has produced pieces which are both stylish and classic – the bow belt coat evokes the post-war England of her own father’s childhood.
While the collection is on the pricey side for children’s clothes – the bow belt coat is priced at $98 – the materials used in production are also high quality: the coat is lined, and is 63% wool, 30% nylon, and 7% cashmere, which means it will wear well and hold up over time, making it great for multiple children. Stella McCartney’s children’s clothing line from The Gap is a great way to dress your kids stylishly and practically at the same time.
