A New World Of Baby Boy Clothes

Saturday 20 February 2016


Buying baby boy clothes is still such a novelty to me as the last 3 years have been spent buying little girl clothes and the past 9 months have been spent buying unisex! I've heard friends who are mothers of little boys complain many times about the lack of variety in boys clothes and whilst its true that the ratio of girl to boy clothes are definitely in the girls favour in shops there's still a lot more out there than I first thought. 

When it comes to boys clothes I've found that availability massively depends on what sort of style you're after. If you like clothes with trains, trucks and cartoons monsters on then you'll easily find what your looking for in most supermarkets or high street shops. However I've always preferred the monochrome look along with muted colours such as greys for boys over those baby blues that everywhere seems to stock. 



When I was pregnant I didn't allow myself to look at clothes too much since we didn't know the gender, however I've determinately been making up for it since! I've found a few pieces I like in Next, H&M and Mamas & Papas but most of my high street shopping for Archer has been otherwise unsuccessful. I have however discovered a new love of small online businesses via Instagram, many of which seem to stock the look I've been after. I've bought from a few small businesses via instagram for Lily before but I've found that the boys clothes seem to be a lot cheaper than the girls for some reason. Some of my favourite online shops at the moment are Ollys & Dollys | Blueberry Boo Kids | Milk Moustache Apparel | Cud and Co | Kidult & Co | Birdies and Bear Cubs


This weekends outfit I actually managed to find in H&M at the start of the week and I fell in love with it. I love the whale theme, its so cute and totally up my street! The whole outfit was £7.99 which is great considering it comes with vest, joggers and matching hat. When it comes to Lily's clothes I've always gone towards pastel colours and florals, so it makes a nice change to go for darker clothes for Archer.  Of course when he's old enough he can decide for himself what he wants to wear but for now I'm really enjoying dressing him!
