Until babies are old enough, it is the parents who are really playing dress-up with them. They like to dress their infants in designer babies clothes and outfits with a little bit of pizzazz, even if they are not too interested in their own wardrobes. Some like their clothes to match their own sense of style. At the very least, they do not want their babies to be wearing what every other infant is wearing at the nursery.
If their children’s clothing is going to stand out, they can buy sleepers, cardigans, and leggings from baby boutique clothing stores that carry well-known designer brands. A lot of famous fashion designers have shown an interest in this market, selling baby clothes in-store and online. Their labels are carried by some of the best known and most exclusive baby boutique clothing stores.
What differentiates baby clothes by these fashion artists from regular clothes you would find at a regular department store? Sometimes the only two differences seem to be the logo and the price. One might argue that quality is better among designer clothing than off-the-rack garments, but that is debatable. There are some very high quality garments which cost a lot less, and you will surely pay a lot for some designer labels.
Certain styles for babies are unusual. It is typical to find baby clothes that resemble adult garments in some way. They might be preppy one-pieces with long-sleeves, collars, and buttons. They could be fashionable baby girls’ clothes like gypsy dresses and dresses with front-fastening belts plus brocade work. The overall theme is more mature than the average frilly ensemble featuring ribbons, lots of bright pink, and perhaps a teddy bear. There could be a distinctive print marking a piece as the work of a designer.
Designers also know how to have fun. Put your baby in a shirt featuring a cartoon animal plus leggings with claws on the toes.
Regardless of the label, all parents and grandparents should be looking for the same things. Garments need to be machine-washable. Owning a set of unusual dribble bibs that look like trendy cowboy scarves is more fun than putting regular bibs on your baby, but can you put them in the wash? Check very closely before buying. Another thing to look at is the fabrics. Natural fabrics are best for all types of skin, especially that of very young children and babies.
