The 'R Kid' Edit

Britpop style outfits for kids: parkas and adidas

Britpop, sized down. Parkas, three stripes and proper adidas — the Manchester look that never really went away, and is back now two brothers are speaking again. It works just as well on a girl as a boy.

Prices were correct when this edit was published and change often — always check on the retailer's site before buying. This is a styling site — on how something wears or sizes up, the shop's own reviews will tell you more than I can. How the edits come together.

A note from me

There's been a fair bit of hype about a certain Manchester band coming again, so this one's for all the Britpop parents wanting to revisit the adidas — only smaller this time. Half the appeal is that it matches what their mam and dad are already wearing.
