Kids don’t just love summer.

They’d sell their toys, their clothes, and their parents (don’t kid yourself) to make it come a week earlier. What’s not to like? It’s a three-month blur of beach-going, ice cream, and sleeping late.

The only problem: Such pursuits tend to encourage a certain … slovenliness of appearance. Minus the school-morning routine, kids can get pretty sloppy pretty quickly. Stem the tide with Sophie & Lili’s wrap skirts. The one part mod, one part Lilly Pulitzer, the cotton duds are cute enough to please Mom and little Miss On-the-Go. The bright patterns ensure a smooth segue from birthday party to backyard barbecue. And Sophie & Lili even do custom orders — reversible skirts, linings, trim, and pockets — so you can get creative. Of course, we can’t guarantee they won’t see the occasional popsicle stain.

But hey, if they didn’t, it wouldn’t be summer.
