Let Them Wear Cashmere

The French sure know what they are doing when it comes to baking, museums, perfume, and couture. Pretty much everything that counts.

So it doesn’t come as a surprise that they make some pretty amazing childrenswear too. Clara de Paris, the Montreal-based online store, is our new go-to for all that is designer French clothing for kids. We love Les Enfantines’ cashmere sweaters with removable collars. Buy one sweater, three collars, and you are set to go for the winter. The best part? The base sweater is unisex, so it is guaranteed your next one can wear it too.

It is such a struggle to emulate the chic, effortless style of French women, we think it might be easier to dress our kids à la Parisienne instead. —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg
