All About Mio

Mio My Mio Clothing

Milk mustache aside, your kiddo makes a stellar fashion statement.

Quench her thirst for style with Mio My Mio clothing. The Scandinavian brand’s spring/summer collection of bright, modern playwear (sizes 2 to 12) is a blast to mix and match.

Girls pair bubble dresses with gathered leggings and top off floral smocked blouses with slouchy velour hoodies. Embroidered tunics and lightweight knickers make another killer combo. For boys, quirky graphic tees (piranhas, robots) abound.

The collection is limited.

So milk it while it lasts.

Available at Zozo for Kids, 5137 North Clark Street, at Winona Street (773-506-6120 or zozoforkids.com). To see styles, go to miomymio.dk.
