Lookbook: 5 summer outfits for little adventurers

When the days get longer and the sun is out, our little explorers are ready to go! Running, jumping, climbing — summer is made for discovery. At Deux par Deux, we believe the perfect summer outfit for kids balances comfort, practicality, and playful style. Here's our curated selection of 5 summer looks to inspire your next outdoor adventure. Whether your child is heading to day camp, chasing butterflies in the backyard, or joining the family for a weekend at the cottage, these outfits will have them ready for every sunny adventure.

1. The classic combo: shorts + printed tee

Simple, yes. Boring? Never. Pair comfy shorts with a breathable organic cotton t-shirt, like our printed camping tee in beige. This light and airy outfit lets kids move freely, no matter how wild their summer fun gets.

🧺 Pro tip: everything’s machine washable—even after a surprise mud fight!

2. Summer camp ready: built for adventure

Straight from our Summer Camp collection, this look is all about durable pieces that can keep up. Think quick-dry swimwear, adjustable waist shorts, and fun accessories like our colorful floral cap. It’s the perfect outfit for camp days, forest trails, or backyard explorations.

3. Retro-cool vibes: for strolling and exploring

Feeling nostalgic? Our playful t-shirts from the girls’ collection pair perfectly with printed pants or a skort. It’s a vintage-inspired look made for summer markets, neighborhood parties, or picnics in the park.

4. Beach day in a flash: easy and breezy

For little ones who dive into the waves before you’ve unpacked the towels, a quick-change outfit is essential. Go for a loose tee, a one-piece or swim shorts, and some easy-on sandals.
