It's time to pack away those linens and cottons and replace them with plaids, knits, cosy coats and dazzling flashes of metallic. We can't wait for the new season to really kick in! Here are JUNIOR's favourite children's trends of the season.

Tiny, delicate florals are spreading their tendrils everywhere this season. Think miniature vintage chintz, liberty prints and muted tones and you'll get the picture. These are the kind of fabrics you might find in your great grandmother's trunk, saved for the very best and softest patchwork quilt. We love Bonpoint's sumptuous liberty print dungarees, Caramel's beautiful dark florals and New Society's stunning selection of soft cotton dresses featuring prints The Bloomsbury Set would throw their books and brushes down for.

We love it when something unusual pops up and this trend for highly reflective statement pieces really took us by surprise. We're used to seeing jackets and shoes in high-shine finishes but skirts, shorts and dresses with a futuristic vibe are something new. An antidote to the homespun, handmade trend that has dominated, this is a look for those who don't like to walk the beaten path...

Knitwear takes centre stage this season with chunky textures, traditional patterns and beautiful natural hues that look as though they might have been coloured with natural dyes and in many cases they have been. These are the kind of jumpers and cardigans that will be passed down through several children and will keep them warm even when their coat has long been left on the football pitch or hanging on the playground railings...
