by Sarah Bunton

In between juggling the responsibilities of everyday life — like work, school, kids, errands, housework, — and trying to get it all done while holding a cup of coffee, looking fashionable might fall to the bottom of your to-do list. But fear not! It turns out that the best style advice you might ever find is pint-sized. Whether it's your own child or a small Instagram star, there are many Some of the styling tips adults can take from kids. Sure, there are some things you can only learn through experience, but children could teach most adults a thing or two about unapologetically rocking whatever fashion you choose and may even open your eyes to some new style possibilities.

With celebrities’ kids taking over fashion in a major way (remember how North West stole the show at New York Fashion Week?), maybe there really is something to the creative genius of youth. There’s a certain kind of unbridled imagination and charisma that comes with being a kid, and some people can lose touch with that part of themselves as they grow older. For instance, look at the world’s youngest fashion designer, a 4-year-old girl aptly named Mayhem. Her sass and ingenuity is on a level all its own. So check out these tips from some of the fiercest and most stylish kids on Instagram.

Show Your True Colors

Don't Forget Your Shades

North West already comes from a dynamic family, so her style is nothing less than fierce. You already know the denim trend is having its moment, but Miss West is positively owning this look. Everyone should have the same unapologetic confidence about their style choices as she does here.

Go Retro

Some days you just don't feel like trying to be fashion forward. So why not take it way back and add a little vintage vibe to your outfit?
