Summer dressing for little ones should feel as joyful as the season itself — and this year, our SS26 Spanish children's wear collection delivers exactly that. From hand-smocked sundresses to crisp boys' linen sets, every piece carries the artisan craftsmanship and vibrant spirit that Spanish childrenswear is celebrated for.
Whether you're planning a holiday abroad, a garden party, or simply want your little one dressed beautifully for the warmer months, here's how we're styling SS26 at Mariposa.
🌸 Girls' Dresses: The Heart of the Season
Spanish summer dressing for girls is all about texture, colour, and that unmistakable handcrafted detail. This season, smocking takes centre stage.
The Sonata SS26 Girls White & Pink Smocked Dress is a perennial favourite — delicate smocking across the bodice, a floaty skirt, and that timeless white-and-pink palette that photographs beautifully. For something with a little more drama, the Sonata SS26 Girls Pink Gelato Puffball Dress is a showstopper — its sculptural silhouette is pure occasion magic.
If you're drawn to bold, sun-drenched colour, the La Peppa Girls Neon Pink Striped Summer Dress brings a playful, modern energy — perfect for beach days or casual summer lunches. For a more classic look with a contemporary twist, the El Copo Girls White Dress with Statement Smocked Collar is effortlessly elegant.
For special occasions, the Meriche Girls Lilac Heart Occasion Dress and the DAGA Girls Blue & Pink Ceremony Tulle Dress are both breathtaking choices — the kind of dresses that become treasured memories.
Styling tip: Pair any of our smocked dresses with a simple leather sandal and a wicker basket bag for an effortlessly polished summer look.
👟 The Finishing Touch: Angelitos Shoes & Sandals
No summer outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes. Our Angelitos children's shoes and sandals are crafted in Spain with the same commitment to quality and style as our clothing. Soft leather, careful construction, and designs that work from morning to evening — they're the ideal complement to every look in the SS26 collection. Browse the full edit and find the pair that completes your little one's summer wardrobe.
🍋 Baby Girls: Sweet Summer Dressing from the Start
Our baby girls' edit this season is full of charm. The La Peppa Baby Girls White Lemon Print Dress & Knickers is a warm-weather essential — the lemon motif feels fresh and joyful, and the matching knickers make it a complete, fuss-free outfit. For something with a little more colour, the DBB Collection Baby Girls Lime Multicolour Dress, Knickers & Bonnet Set is a gorgeous head-to-toe look that's as practical as it is pretty.
👦 Boys' Summer Style: Effortlessly Smart
Spanish childrenswear for boys is all about relaxed tailoring — smart enough for a family lunch, comfortable enough for a long afternoon outdoors. The Abuela Tata Boys Navy & White Stripe Shirt and Shorts Set is a summer wardrobe staple. The classic navy stripe is timeless, and the co-ordinated set takes the guesswork out of dressing.
Styling tip: Roll the shorts slightly at the hem and add a pair of Angelitos white leather sandals for a relaxed Riviera feel.
