Cool baby clothes: Breaking the mould

If you have a baby of your own, chances are that his/her closet may be chock full of clothing in pinks and blues. If you are really an off-beat type of parent, some yellows and greens might also be in there. But that’s about it. What most parents don’t realize is that the babies can also get bored wearing the same type of clothes, day after day. Yes, it is true. After the first birthday, babies start forming preferences of their own, regarding clothes, toys, and everything else for that matter. If you want to keep your baby happy, it is a good idea to dress him/her up in differently styled clothes every day.  Cool baby clothes don’t burn a hole in your pocket, and can provide your baby with the much needed variety in his/her wardrobe. Here are some ideas for purchasing cool baby clothing for your little bundle of joy.

1. Pirate baby clothing - These are some of the coolest baby clothing available. Onesies, t-shirts, and caps with the skull and bones pirate symbol will make your baby stand out in a crowd. Make him/her wear these to a social gathering and watch your baby become the center of attention among other Moms.


2. Urban clothing - These are great for babies living in big cities. Simply put a full sleeved cargo shirt/top on him/her. Match it with cute cargo pants. Put a cute looking cap over the head, and funky sneakers on the feet. In cold weather, bring out the hoodies and team those up with thermals, cargo pants, jackets, knee socks, and sneakers. Just remember to check the pockets at the end of the day. Babies can accumulate a good quantity of junk, and the presence of a large number of pockets will only fuel this habit.


3. Snowsuits - In winter time, nothing is better for protecting your baby from cold and keeping him/her looking cool than these suits. The full body protection the suit offers will keep your baby safe from the harsh weather outside. The only drawback is that diaper changing is difficult.


4. Cool onesies - These one piece suits come in a lot of varieties. Look for funky prints, like leopard, camouflage, pirate symbols, etc. Team these up with cool sneakers/sandals and a cap and your baby is ready for a day out in the summer sun.

Cool baby clothes are not always expensive. Check the stock clearance section in stores at the end of shopping seasons. You will find some of the funkiest baby clothing at a fraction of the regular price. Happy hunting!
