There's a reason Rylee + Cru shows up in basically every "favorite kids brands" list out there. Founded by illustrator Kelli Murray and inspired by her own little ones, the California-based brand is known for hand garment-dyed basics with a soft, lived-in feel right out of the box, plus prints that feel artistic without ever being over the top. We just got a fresh round of Rylee + Cru pieces in at Mini Dreamers, and they're exactly the kind of effortless, easy-to-wear pieces that are perfect for everything from beach days to backyard hangouts. Here are our 5 favorites.
Bow Malibu Romper
This Bow Malibu Romper is incredibly fun, and we mean that in the best way. The retro silhouette and charming bow-print pattern team up to create an activewear piece that's ready for absolutely anything — the park, the playground, gymnastics class, you name it. Made from a stretchy 88% polyester, 12% elastane blend, it moves with her all day long without sacrificing an ounce of style.
Cherry Check Delphine Rashguard One-Piece Swimsuit
Sun protection has never looked this good. The Cherry Check Delphine Rashguard One-Piece brings Rylee + Cru's playful, artistic eye to swim season with a cheerful cherry check print and a full-coverage rashguard silhouette that's perfect for hours in the pool, at the beach, or splashing around the backyard sprinkler. It's the kind of swimsuit that looks just as cute over a sandy towel as it does in the water.
Nautical Flag Tshirt
A graphic tee that's anything but basic. The Nautical Flag Tshirt brings a fun, signal-flag-inspired print to one of Rylee + Cru's signature hand garment-dyed tees, giving it that soft, slightly worn-in feel right out of the box. It's a wardrobe staple that pairs with literally everything — shorts, joggers, skirts, swim trunks — making it an easy throw-on for busy mornings or laid-back weekends.
Dawson Denim Shorts
Every closet needs a great pair of denim shorts, and the Dawson Denim Shorts deliver exactly that. With Rylee + Cru's signature relaxed, roomy fit and that soft, vintage-washed denim feel, these shorts are comfortable enough for all-day wear and durable enough to keep up with whatever the day throws at them. A true mix-and-match piece that goes with every tee, tank, or button-down in her closet.
West Coast Tshirt
California cool, distilled into one tee. The West Coast Tshirt captures that laid-back, sun-soaked vibe Rylee + Cru is known for, with the same hand garment-dyed softness that makes their basics feel instantly broken-in. It's an easy layering piece for cooler mornings and a great standalone for warm afternoons — basically the tee that goes everywhere this summer.
