We sent our resident dad blogger Frazer to check out Fred Perry’s new childrenswear collection. 

Be it for child or (particularly) parent, there can be few areas wardrobe wise as potentially problematic as what could broadly be defined as ‘streetwear’. Dad will normally be unable to get away with what he thinks is still cool, while striking the balance between stylish, practical and timeless for our offspring can be a struggle.

Look no further, then, than Fred Perry’s wonderful Spring/Summer collection to ensure boys are effortlessly well turned out and positively brimming with style in the coming months.

Engaging the same classic aesthetic as Fred Perry’s adult ranges but for 2-8 year olds, the introduction of new colourways alongside the established, and iconic shapes rubbing shoulders the more contemporary make eminently desirable options for the young gents in your life.

The baby blue dotted polo shirt, checked shirts, cable knit jumpers and jacket are particular favourites amongst a great collection of eminently wearable pieces for the junior modernist or dandy. Checks, dots and ginghams sit perfectly beside the Little Fred t-shirt, complete with Fred Perry’s mini-me character.

The saving grace for jealous husbands is that they can do their best to recreate the look; albeit lacking the looks or charm of youth, Fred Perry can help with the style, while the Kidswear collection will ensure that junior looks the part from playground to party.
