Spring 2026 kidswear is big on colour, characters and things they can’t help picking up.
Start with what they’ve outgrown, then add glitter thongs, jelly sandals, neon brights, favourite characters and playful accessories.
Blue skies are back. Come to Pacific Werribee for the next size up, then stay for a movie, the arcade or the treat they’ve been asking for since the car park.
COME FOR WHAT THEY NEED
What do kids need for spring 2026? Start with what they’ve outgrown.
You know the drill. The shorts suddenly don’t fit. The sneakers are getting tight. Last year’s favourite tee is looking decidedly small.
Start with everyday tees and shorts from Best & Less, new thongs at The Trybe, swimwear from Kmart and a lightweight layer for cooler mornings from Cotton On Kids.
Spring is the perfect excuse to size up, stock up and find the new favourites they’ll live in all season.
What shoes are trending for kids this spring? Pick the pair they’ll want to wear.
The practical spring shoe is getting a lot more fun. Thongs come covered in glitter, colour and favourite characters, jelly sandals are back in bright, shiny finishes, and sneakers are turning favourite heroes into everyday footwear.
Find character thongs at MYER, glitter or jelly styles from Cotton On Kids, or Spider-Man sneakers from Adidas.
You’re looking for the pair that fits. They’re looking for the pair they refuse to take off.
What kidswear piece need replacing for spring? Start with the hard-working stuff.
Spring is a good time to check the pieces that have done the most mileage. Think everyday shorts, tees, sneakers and activewear, the things that get worn, washed, climbed in, spilled on and somehow still need to make it through another week.
Find hard-wearing shorts at Cotton On Kids, everyday tees from BIG W, sneakers at Platypus and activewear from Nike.
Replace what’s worn out, size up where you need to, and get the everyday wardrobe ready for another season of keeping up.
What characters are kids wearing in 2026? Let them pick the obsession.
Kids know what they like and they’ll usually spot it before you do.
A Sonic The Hedgehog tee from Cotton On Kids, Bluey thongs at H&M. A bag, cap or accessory from Target that turns their current obsession into something they can wear everywhere.
Start with the thing they choose first, then build the rest of the outfit around it. They pick the favourite. You get them dressed. Everyone wins.
What prints are trending for kids in 2026? Food is on the menu.
Apparently, snacks are for wearing now too. Smiling fruit, ice creams, fries, sushi and boba are turning up across tees, dresses, bags, hats and charms borrowing all the fun of squishies and collectibles and putting it straight into the wardrobe.
Find a food-print tee at Kmart, a playful bag from H&M or charms and accessories at Seed. It’s bright, a little silly and exactly the kind of thing kids spot from across the shop.
