There's been a recent trend in the fashion world of reaching for the comfortable and cheeky over the formal. (Take, for example, the recent Nike Air Max fad among the stylish set.) There's something liberating about the way children get dressed, piling on the mismatched patterns and choosing clothes that are, simply put, just plain fun. But it's not fair to let the under-12 set have all the fun, especially when local designers are churning out their twists on playground classics. From fanny packs (oh yes) to funky sneakers and friendship bracelets, read on for our favorite locally-made goods that will bring you straight back to Sesame Street—but this time, our program is brought to you by the word "style."
