Garden Party

Mint • Fern • Ivory

Garden gatherings have a way of bringing everyone together. Friends, family, and neighbors stopping by, little ones playing underfoot, and moments that feel easy and unplanned.

Lean into the setting with playful touches like the Grasshopper print, featured on styles like the Nile Romper or Reef Short Sleeve Henley. Mint and Fern bottoms like the Dane Shorts, June Bloomers, or Fay Ruffle Waist Shorts add a fresh, playful layer while keeping outfits simple and wearable.

Soft, breathable fabrics ensure these looks feel as good as they look, made for movement, comfort, and all-day wear.

Picnic on the Lawn

Chambray • Fog • Shell

Blankets laid out, snacks unpacked, and nowhere else to be. This is the kind of afternoon that calls for relaxed layers and pieces that move with ease.

Lightweight muslin brings an effortless feel, with styles like the Colette Muslin Tank & Bloomer Set in Vionna Floral offering softness and breathability. For a more styled look, the Stella Short Sleeve Swing Dress in Primrose Floral paired with the Jules Chambray Hooded Jacket adds just enough structure while staying comfortable.

Butterfly Watching

Fog • Fern • Mint

Some moments call for slowing down, others turn into a game of chasing what catches your eye. Butterflies drifting by, little feet running through the grass, and curiosity leading the way.

Spring-ready patterns like Bird Stripe, Butterfly, and Caterpillar bring a playful sense of movement to each look. Easy styles like the Shaye Romper are made for running, pausing, and starting again, perfect for little ones who never stay still for long.

Flexible fits and soft fabrics allow for freedom to move, explore, and play without limits.

Flower Picking

Fog • Powder • Ivory

There’s something special about watching the garden come to life. Little hands reaching for blooms, gathering petals one by one, and building something of their own along the way.

Petaline Floral brings a soft, seasonal feel that blends naturally into the setting. Paired with easy bottoms Havana Shorts, Leona Twill Pleat Shorts, or Luz Muslin Ruffle Shorts, these outfits are designed for wandering, collecting, and discovering.

Lightweight, breathable pieces keep little ones cool and comfortable through every sun-filled moment.

Backyard Play

Fern • Ashen • Fog

Some of the best days happen right at home. Running through the grass, digging in the dirt, and turning everyday moments into something a little more fun.

Waffle textures are made for this kind of movement. Soft, durable, and easy to wear, they hold up through every jump, crawl, and tumble. Pair the Bailey Waffle Pocket Tee with Avery Waffle Shorts for an easy set, or opt for one-piece styles like Percy Waffle Short Romper or Maci Waffle Ruffle Tank Romper for fuss-free dressing.

Durable construction and soft stretch fabrics make these pieces ideal for repeat wear and all-day play.

Golden Hour

Ivory • Fog • Shell

As the sun begins to set, everything slows down just a bit. The light softens, the air cools, and little ones settle into quieter moments, often side by side.

Golden hour is the perfect time for sweet, coordinating looks. The Sommer Romper and the Ella Ruffle Sleeve Tank paired with Fay Ruffle Waist Shorts creates a soft, matching moment for girls. For boys, simple combinations like an Ivory top with Shell bottoms, such as the Piper Muslin Pants or Alden Muslin Shorts, keep things classic while still feeling connected.

Timeless silhouettes and soft palettes make these pieces easy to mix, match, and pass down.
