This year is interesting for kid’s fashion. Many people ask why kid’s clothing has to become expensive while you can acquire it at reasonable value.  This is the year where the press criticized celebrity baby Suri Cruise for wearing expensive designer kid’s clothing. This is the year where designer brands began to actively produce clothes for children-as there seems to be a market for expensive kid’s clothing.

So what can people expect next year?  What will become the new trend? What prominent trends can be seen from these early kid’s clothing releases?

Theme for kid’s clothing would be practical luxury or elegance. Again, this is a trend that probably stemmed from the “Suri Cruise effect,” wherein children want to wear designer clothes and parents want to dress their children in design brands. However, the clothing companies are gunning for something appropriate for kids despite its designer-luxury trappings. These designer kid’s clothing items will be comfortable and will steer away from styles that are inappropriate for the toddler and pre-teen set.

Fashion specialists are already proclaiming the year 2011 as the year when the 80s rocker look returns. Expect this influence to become apparent in kid’s clothing-or at least in teen and pre-teen clothing.

According to visual fashion trends expertise, Japanese-inspired kid’s clothing will become a bigger hit next. This fashion aesthetic somewhat adheres to the concept of 80s fashion-clothes and accessories that shouldn’t match but go well together anyway, the somewhat mature Victorian-inspired dresses, the exotic Lolita-styled dresses made innocent and child-like.

For girl’s fashion, expect dresses with flowing fabrics.
