Five cool clothes brands for kids

For the first time, H&M's seasonal kidswear drop includes a bunch of designs that are identical to grown-up pieces from the brand's fashion-forward Studio line. Perfect if your mini-me is a fashion editor in the making. The outerwear is especially noteworthy – we like the camel-coloured bomber jacket and the swanky russet faux-fur coat. £3.99-£49.99.

Woodstock and pals provide the inspiration for Gap Kids' latest collaboration. The Snoopy printed skate shoes and T-shirts are cute, sure. But we've really fallen head-over paws for the cosy-looking cardie based on Charlie Brown's yellow top. From £9.95. Available from October 20.

Two quintessentially French labels collide as Jean-Charles de Castelbajac lends his larger-than-life aesthetic to Petit Bateau's trademark nautical styles. His cheery, primary-hued cartoons adorn cute T-shirts for fashionable tots, with prices starting at £22. Available from October 19.

Launching this summer, The Mini Edit was born out of a desire to curate a kids' shop without traditional ideals. It's certainly that. Home to some of the coolest mini-me brands out there, this site is anything but cutesy: foil print sweatshirts from streetwear brand Someday Soon sit alongside playful dresses by quirky label Bang Bang Copenhagen. We just wsh we had as much swagger as the tots who wear this stuff.

Thanks to slightly surreal graphics and bold animal patterns, Swedish kidswear label Mini Rodini is anything but twee. To celebrate its arrival at Harrods, a pop-up will occupy part of the fourth floor until the end of the month. It's so good that we're crossing our fingers for a foray into clothes for grown-ups. From £24.95.
