Baby Boy Fashion Trends

Fashion trends change all the time, but keeping your baby boy up to date with some of the hottest outfits doesn’t have to be hard. We’ll look over some of the best in fashion trends for your little one and get them in style!

Funny Shirts

Great tongue in cheek slogans have increased in popularity for children. They can range from cutesy sayings to more off color humor. Depending on the parent there are an endless number of available options to show off your child’s personality. When you are looking at the different slogans try to find one that compliments the appearance of your child in color and cut, this will help to make it look better on them.

Denim

Right now denim is hot and for baby boys this addition to their wardrobe is a must! Huggies has recognized this trend and has created a line of diapers that look like they are little denim jeans.

In addition Gap and other companies have added new lines of denim products that can dress your child from head to toe in the fabric. When you are looking at each product make sure they can handle wear and that the wash used on the more designer brands is safe for your child to wear.

Rock ‘N Roll

Some parents love their rock bands and clothing their children with band and rock shirts from their favorite artists helps to increase a bond. Many big name bands have recognized this and have offered children’s shirts and outfits for your children as well. If you don’t pick them up at the concert many bands offer these products on their websites and through authorized dealers. Take some time to find the perfect shirt and let them rock out. Some vintage band shirts are now available for your baby boy as well!

Celebrity Options

If you want to dress your baby boy like the stars do, your top choice would be www.glamajamma.com. From Britney Spears to Kate Hudson celebrity moms love this designers clothing to dress their little ones in. Of course another option is www.cribrockcouture.com which boasts celebrity shoppers like Angelina Jolie, Denise Richards and Jennifer Garner.

Unique Outfits

If you want your baby to have the most unique outfit available you can choose to go with an actual outfit designer like www.HannaAndersson.com/baby or you can make your own baby clothes. By finding fabrics you like from a fabric retailer you can begin to design clothing for your own little one and make sure their outfit is nothing like the others in the neighborhood. This is also good practice if you have an interest in fashion design or sewing. This is just another way you can give something to that little one you love, and save some money at the same time!

Keep in mind that any outfit you decide for your baby boy should remain unique to them. If at all possible give them their own little wardrobe that isn’t full of hand me downs from older siblings, although thrift store shopping is fine! Just make sure you wash the boy clothing before putting it on your little angel.

Stylish and Functional Baby Jeans for Little Boys

Gap Baby Dark Wash Dark Selvage JeansMothers of little girls constantly hear about how cute and appealing baby girls are. They are adorable, get a lot of attention in public and can be dressed up in frilly and cute clothing. As a mom of a little boy, however, that can often leave you feeling a bit frustrated.

Of course boys are different, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as joyous. In fact, dressing little boys can be just as fun, in a different way. Dressing your little boy provides a mom with more options than you might expect. Baby jeans are the cornerstone of a boy’s wardrobe, providing durable and stylish clothing for your little man. There are many choices and options to look at when shopping for baby boy clothes.

Features Matter

While maintaining the same general style that jeans have always had, baby jeans have features that make them specifically adapted to little guys. These features will largely depend on the age of your little boy. For example, when shopping for an infant, expect to see baby jeans with snaps that allow the inseam to be opened for easy changing. This can be a handy feature. However, many moms find it just as easy to pull down the baby jeans. For this reason, almost all toddler and baby jeans feature an elastic waist. While the authentic look of a snap and zipper fly may be appealing, full-functioning baby jeans such as this can be cumbersome. You can have the best of both worlds by selecting baby jeans with elastic waists and the appearance of a zipper fly.

Durability Factors

Whenever you are dealing with baby jeans, you will be looking for different things depending on the age and ability of your little man. Newborn boys will not need materials that can withstand use and abuse. In fact, it doesn’t make sense to spend extra on these features when your baby boy will grow out of the baby jeans so quickly. However, babies that can crawl greatly benefit from knee reinforcing on their baby jeans. Toddlers are also extremely hard on their clothing and spending more makes sense.

Styles and Trends

This is probably the area where there are the most misconceptions about dressing a little boy. Frankly, despite what moms of the sugar and spice variety claim, there is actually more options and flexibility in dressing a baby boy. When you look at a basic wardrobe item like baby jeans, for example, there are dozens of styles to choose from. Baby jeans are available in classic styles, cargo looks and even follow modern trends, featuring grunge or distressed components. Embellishments like studs and snaps are available, as well as additional features, such as screen printing. Frankly, with girls, parents tend to steer away from these features, as it is too gender neutral and can cause girls to be mistaken for little boys.

What About Brand?

Of course, any parent is aware of brand. With your baby, they are completely oblivious to what label in on their baby jeans. Most parents, however, favor certain brands for the quality factor. Brands such as Baby Gap, Old Navy and The Children’s Place are popular lines of baby jeans. These feature some of the latest trends. However, department store brands can also be a good choice. These options generally have more basic options, are less expensive and feature lower quality materials and construction. Most parents purchase baby jeans in a variety of brands. This is a great approach. It’s also possible to favor name brands, shopping sales to find discounts and clearance items. Applying this strategy can make these higher-quality baby jeans more affordable than even department store brands.
