Children's fashions for summer 16

by My Kent Family reporter

Grown-ups have enough problems finding clothes on a budget, but children have an ability to shoot up faster than a beanstalk so kitting the kids out for a summer holiday can be a real problem.

Luckily there's plenty of stylish options out there that don't cost a small fortune but will still have your family looking cool on sun-soaked days.

Here's our pick of the best, affordable buys...
