FASHIONABLE BOOTS FOR CHILDREN ? YES!!!
It is true! A good designer can really bring together the needs of the child's feet and new fashion trends.
Large space, adjusted to the shape and size of the feet, soft, comfortable for the feet, fabric absorbing sweat, a flexible sole - these are the basic characteristics of good footwear made for children and the youth. The element of fashion which is fully accomplished in boots made for the young generation is COLOUR. For this year's autumn days, the colour palette prepared according to standards of MODEUROP contains three colour groups and topics related to them:
fresco - the elaborated style, luxuriant, fine, based on brown colour palette, with gold and copper effects,
architecture - the urban style which prefers comfort, made in black, navy blue, gray and sky blue tones,
folklore - the coloured and luxuriant style but at the same time coarse, made of red, green, pink and violet tones, also of orange - yellow and gold palette.
• The designers diversified the rich colour palette depending on the age - fun colours for younger children and calmer for older ones but with contrasting features.
This truly vivid world of colours, well used for children's boots pleases both parents and their kids.
• Fabric for the collection of boots for "grown-ups" was well used for children's models, in which natural, soft, chamois or lacquered leather is dominant.
• Like in the trends of "grown-up" fashion, accessories play a significant role - leather appliqués, tabs, decorative stitches, embroidery and hand-made fancy-work, printed designs, metal rings, snap fasteners, coloured laces, zips, quilts, combinations of variable fabric.
• General assortments of autumn child and youth footwear are slippers and shoes, laced up, fastened with Velcro, with zip fasteners or flip-flop, among which the girl's style is dominant - romantic, with lighter or pastel colour patterns, having lighter soles and more delicate decorations as well as the boy's style - sports, related to motorbike clothes, with stronger and darker colours, with more massive soles.
• If in the collection for the young Polish generation the producer connects fashion trends with known, functional pattern solutions, constructive and technological solutions that are carefully chosen for the child's needs (movement, activity), with care of flexibility, lightness and right sizes of the inside of footwear, he or she offers functional and very attractive products satisfying the needs of children's delicate feet.
