After the cutest kids’ cheongsam in Singapore this Chinese New Year? Nab these festive dresses and Mandarin collar shirts for girls, boys and babies!

Chinese New Year begins Friday 12 February, mama! Between safe, intimate family reunions at all the best restaurants and socially distanced school celebrations, it’s time to get your little ones’ Chinese New Year outfits sorted. Ditch fast fashion styles and instead look to these cute prints and designs from local brands in our list of top children’s CNY fashion looks for 2021, including kids’ cheongsams, Mandarin collar shirts and more!
NB: A lot of the designers’ websites are showing that designs are selling fast, but we think you’ll find a great selection at major department stores. When all else fails, the CNY fairs in many malls’ lobby atriums should have a kids’ cheongsam in a pinch!

It’s no secret that Le Petit Society’s threads are some of our faves, and it seems their designs just get cuter every year! This time around they’re playing with lots of florals with lovely mandarin-collared options even for the littlest ones in the family.
