Weekend Cartoons: Clothes to Make You Feel Like a Kid Again

Neverland, as portrayed in the childhood classic Peter Pan, is alluring because it promises eternal youth—a promise, it seems, that some designers today are still enticed by. A new generation’s way to rebel against the rigorous rules and boring routines of adulthood, cartoons are coming back with a vengeance via clothing—perhaps to save us from the drab adult uniform.

But these loud, colorful and quirky prints are far from childish. From sexy mini dresses to effortlessly cool bomber jackets, these wackadoo prints aren’t just for your pajamas.

Big on Character

An oversized sweatshirt or tee emblazoned with your favorite childhood character isn’t just for a Saturday morning cartoon session. Take this top to the streets when you pair it with pointed-toe pumps, a ladylike bag and a swipe of colorful lipstick.

Silly & Sophisticated

When a closet classic like a bomber or a button-down gets a kid-approved makeover, it feels instantly fresher. The unexpected mix makes the ‘toon print more subtle, so it works with other sophisticated pieces. Pull your bomber over a fluid blouse and cropped trousers or wear your graphic blouse with a pencil skirt and heels.

New Nostalgia

Nothing says nostalgia like a vintage tee. But even if your mom threw out your old T-shirts featuring your favorite mouse, you can still pick up one with the same love-worn look. Blend this cartoon tee into your wardrobe line-up when you wear it with on-trend items, like culottes and statement earrings.

Make your inner child proud and starting having fun with fashion again. Let cartoon clothing make you feel like a kid again—without having to look like one.

Never grow up—it’s a trap.
