Age is not a prohibiting factor when it comes to being fashionable in Paris, good news for young trend-setters trying to convince parents that they really don’t have a thing to wear. Du Pareil au Meme is a chain store which sells inexpensive, brightly coloured clothing for children up to 14 years and new collections are released several times a year. La Compagnie des Petits and Catimini operate along similar lines but remember that sizing is on the small side at these shops. Gapkids is another good economical choice, selling stylish but well-priced basics but for clothing with a little more quirk try Miki House. The business has three shops in Paris selling unique and chic clothing. Okaidi and Sergent Major also veer from traditional styles to present outfits with a point of difference. Pamp’lune in the 18th arrondissement is another great find, selling original designs that would prove just as stylish on grown-ups. For frills and flounce, Bonpoint and Tartine et Chocolat lead the pack, however prices can be shocking so be prepared. If both parents and kids need some new duds and you are short of time try shopping at C&A, Cyrillus and H&M, all of which stock clothes for the whole family.
