Why do boy clothes only come with hoods?

olivia_eve · September 2011

I am having the hardest time finding boy clothes that aren't hooded. I have a bunch of short sleeve onesies that I'd like to put Thomas in, but he needs a little sweatshirt or cardigan to go over it. I can't find anything that doesn't have a hood, and I find hoods on tiny babies super annoying.

There are some sweaters without hoods, but I'm really looking for sweatshirt or cotton material.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

I had a few of these style tops for Evan from Gap. On the website they only show the striped one, but maybe in the stores they have solids? I worked there for years, and they always carried them in blue, pink and white- along with seasonal colors. It's been part of their basic line forever. I had a light blue and grey one for Evan.

carters has a bunch but they mostly come in sets with pants and a onesie.

I actually really Loooove hoodies on babies though.

The ones I remember having for G were from Old Navy...

I don't like normal cotton tops with hoods, but liked a fleece or an outer layer top with hoods at that age. If he needed the warmth, he probably needed his head covered too...and little hats didn't keep the back of his neck warm.

He loves hoods now, was annoyed when I put a pull over fleece on him today that didn't have one! lol He kept pulling the neck up, silly boy.

I do find it annoying that the cotton shirts with hoods have enormous hoods, looks pretty odd and non functional!

We used to get some cheapy sweatshirts at Target or Walmart that didn't have hoods, that we used at night over L's pjs in the winter. You might also try Kohls.
