If you’re on the hunt for considered, stylish children’s clothes on the high street, you’ll be glad to know that Whistles has just launched its first-ever collection for kids.

The 31-piece strong line is inspired by the brand’s existing womenswear collections, so you can expect two-pieces, denim jackets, slogan jumpers and even shirts with oversized collars.

The debut range follows a long line of brands that have dipped their toes into the childrenswear market by launching mini-me collections, including the likes of M&S, Next, & Other Stories and Reformation.

Whistles collection aims to provide something for everyone. And according to the brand, each piece has been created with responsible materials, so not only are these clothes kind to little ones’s skin, but also the planet.

The capsule has been designed for those aged between three and nine, and range in price from £16 to £45. Having browsed the collection, we’ve curated a round-up of the pieces worth buying.
