Planning your upcoming family vacation? Don't forget your kids' summer-ready #OOTDs, so they can keep their cool style from head to toe while the whole family soaks up some fun under the sun.
If you're opting for a staycation, though, your kids can still rock these summer outfits that you wish were available in your size. Check out these #OOTD ideas for kids that parents can also use as style pegs:
Spin the color wheel
Say no to black and dark-colored tops, and yes to everything bright and light! Are the kids off to a summer camp? Let the boys wear unexpected color combos like green and pink, so they can spread good vibes with these feel-good hues. As for the girls, choose easy-breezy colors to show off their sunny personality.
FOR ADULTS ALSO: Dad can upgrade his comfy shorts-and-shirt combo by injecting some color.
Play around with prints

For a play date with friends, let them run around and laugh out loud in style with florals and other patterns, and statement tops. Also, let the girls wear shorts and culottes instead of skirts for a day of active fun.
FOR ADULTS ALSO: For moms, the loose and lightweight pants are perfect for a day of running errands. Just pair it with a T-shirt in a lively print and you're good to go.
Layers of fun
An easy way to create a new outfit is to mix and match T-shirts and button-downs. For summer, pick a print with a laid-back vibe, and pair it with shorts in a bright color.
FOR ADULTS ALSO: Dads can use their Hawaiian shirts to play up their T-shirt and shorts for summer.
