If you have kids (or have relatives/friends who do), chances are you've wished you could get some of their cute clothes in adult sizes. And with the likes of H&M, Zara and Mango having enviable collections for children, it's often high street brands that are responsible for making us think this. In recent years, Mango has clearly listened, creating 'Mini Me' collections specifically for mums and daughters – perfect timing for Mother's Day. (Mango also has boys clothes, FYI, which are available for kids aged 5-14.)
Co-ordinating sibling looks or matching with your mum may have formally been social suicide, but we're definitely a fan of this new matching adult and kids collection – now we're the adults, that is! And Mango has made matching your outfit with your mum way cooler than it used to be with trend-led pieces, just in smaller sizes for girls aged 5-14.
The latest 22-piece collection features 11 spring staples that both adults and kids could easily add to their new-season repertoire. With staple denim – in the form of cargo trousers, a mini skirt and a jumpsuit – along with knitted separates including a dress, jumper, cardigan and vest, everything is guaranteed to suit all ages.
For the women's section, the collection can be found in sizes XXS-XXL or size 4-18, depending on the style. And we have no doubt in our mind that you'll want to shop this edit, kids or no kids! Keep scrolling to see Mango's spring drop with mini me options.
SHOP: Mango's Mini Me Collection
1 of 10Mango, Pocket Cargo Jeans
Cargo pants are key this year, and Mango's light-wash denim iteration are at the top of our wish list.
2 of 10Mango, Mini Me Pocket Cargo Jeans
In exactly the same style and colour for girls, these come in ages 6-12.
3 of 10Mango, Fringed Vest
Another hero item for spring is the knit vest. This cream style with 3D flowers gets our vote when worn over a blouse (as seen here), or on its own with a mini skirt when the weather warms up.
4 of 10Mango, Mini Me Fringed Vest
Go matchy-matchy with this kid-sized knit vest – they'll love to wear with jeans or over a dress.
5 of 10Mango, Denim Cargo Jumpsuit
The jumpsuit is a ready-made outfit that'll never fail, and this denim version with pocket detail is just too good to miss. We would also wear it unbottoned with a vest underneath, sleeves pushed back and chunky trainers.
6 of 10Mango, Mini Me Denim Cargo Jumpsuit
The mini me version is just too cute! No doubt your daughter, niece or friend's little one will love wearing this on repeat.
7 of 10Mango, Puff Sleeve Knitted Sweater
Light knits are ideal for spring so this puff-sleeve style is a winner. We'll be wearing it with a denim maxi skirt and clogs.
