Dressing Your Baby In Superior Style

I vividly remember shopping in a well-known department store with my first-born son and another mother looking longingly at the racks of synthetic pink and white frills and lamenting that there were no nice clothes for little boys. In the last few years, all that has changed and, looking on the internet recently, it’s easy to see why. There has been a revolution in baby clothing, and this radical change is definitely a change for the better.

There are some really innovative new designers who have got to grips with environmental issues and combined style with eco-friendly botanical textiles. Highly sustainable plants like soy and bamboo are being used to create fabrics that are soft, light and durable, lending themselves perfectly to new prints and designs in baby and toddler clothing.

Babysoy is one such company. It uses fair-trade soybean protein fibres that are silky-soft and thermo-regulating as well as both hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. This is ideal for babywear because the breathable fabric will keep babies at the right temperature as well as being absolutely safe and soft for their delicate skin.

Babysoy’s up to the minute range of baby clothes is a delight to see. Their cute little short-sleeved rompers will give style and adorable cuddliness to any little boy (or girl), while the vibrantly-coloured bubble rompers combine comfort and glamour in an eye-catching new design. The slip-on trousers are another practical necessity in any baby boy’s wardrobe.

Another exciting new fair trade clothing brand for babies is Aravore. Their baby and toddler clothes are made from a blend of merino wool and organic cotton which produces a sumptuously soft textile. The dreamy pastel colours and designs will make any little girl look angelic - quite appropriate really, as Aravore means ‘piece of heaven’. My favourites are the South American hand-made boho dresses and the dreamy, organic party dresses for 1-2 year olds, both of which styles come in two stunning colours.

But back to the boys! Bamboo Baby is a brand that really understands what little boys like and need. This is another eco-friendly range and, as the name suggests, the textiles used are created from highly sustainable bamboo. With denim jeans, soft rugby tops and sporty cardigans, little boys can romp around to their hearts’ content in ultra comfort and up to the minute style.

Although I wasn’t looking for sleepwear at the time, the lovely nightwear range from Mini Vanilla really caught my eye. Starting with newborn gift sets, their sleepwear range goes up to age 3 and includes some of the cutest designs I have ever seen. They use very soft, breathable cotton for ultimate comfort whatever the temperature outside.

Online retailers have certainly opened up the market in baby clothing and accessories and to cater for the growing demand, they are forever expanding their range of new and exciting ideas. Competition is fierce, which is good news for new mums and dads as this keeps prices attractively low. It also means that our babies can look trendy; feel 100% comfortable and happy; and start making their own little contribution to the world they will one day inherit.
