Outfit Inspiration | Athleisure Looks for Little Sports Stars
Every year, the sporting world comes alive with the sound of players and supporters of all ages. Little leaguers practising goals in the garden, tennis fans soaking up the atmosphere at Centre Court, track stars limbering up for the 100-metre dash; everyone unites to celebrate a whole host of events, and there’s no better time for children to discover their inner sports star.
To kick off this year’s fun, we’ve pulled together cool and comfortable outfits for every sporting personality. So, whether they’re cheering from the sidelines or captain of the team, our Sports Stars collection has the perfect athleisure outfits to keep your mini MVPs moving.

Time for Tennis
Do they know their ace from their drop shot? Whether you’re spectating from the grandstand or the comfort of your sofa, tennis is a sport that guarantees to have everyone on the edge of their seat. For your centre-court stars, Ralph Lauren’s Wimbledon collection is packed with easy-to-wear outfits that are both preppy and practical. And for little champs supporting from the crowd, our collection of lightweight layers will have them dressed and feeling their best, no matter the forecast. Mini Rodini’s new spin on sportswear is sure to go down a treat with shorts, tees and accessories in fun motifs. Strawberries and cream, anyone?
Kick Off the Football Fun
Football is a game that everyone can get involved in. It’s great for team building, fitness, and all they need is a ball and a makeshift goal to enjoy a kickabout with their friends. For the kit, our fantastic football collections have a look for every position on the playing field. Running around for 90 minutes, especially on a warm day, calls for breathable cotton tees, quick-dry fabrics and shorts with soft seams designed for movement, just like this BOSS kit. And when the game’s won, a comfy Moncler Enfant tracksuit will keep their body temperature just right for the walk home. They shoot, they score!
Shoot Some Hoops
If their sporting style is less about goal scoring and more about slam dunks, we’ve got them covered. Basketball is a high-energy game of speed, agility and aim, and if they’re playing centre position, it helps to be a little on the taller side too. Choosing outfits that are loose and comfortable is key, like a pair of roomy jersey shorts and a sleeveless Burberry tee. And, of course, a pair of high-top trainers with some statement socks goes without saying. After all, all mini MVPs know that the best offence is a good defence . . . or in our case, a good outfit!
Join the (Mini) Olympics
If there’s one event in the sporting calendar that has something for just about everyone, it’s the Olympics. From table tennis and taekwondo to gymnastics and the iconic 100-metre sprint, this spectacle is packed with 32 different sports and more than 320 events across the summer programme. This year, why not create your own mini Olympics in the garden to keep the kids entertained away from their screens? All you need is a little imagination, plenty of team spirit and don’t forget a prize for taking part. For their kit, our matching outfit sets are ready made, leaving more time for getting in some last-minute training, and grass stains are no problem as every item is machine washable. On your marks, get set, go!
