Baby boy clothes-question/vent

Where the heck do you find clothes that don't have weird sayings all over them (I LOVE MOMMY....etc...) or aren't camo, brown, orange etc.

Does anyone make nice baby boy clothes? Ugh.

I am over the ugly clothes. I like white, blue, baby blue etc or any combination of those...I hate all the loud clothes. Ugh.

Vent over. 

Re: Baby boy clothes-question/vent

  • Most of Evan's clothes are from Carter's and Gap.  I try to be selective at Carter's since a ton of their stuff says things like "I belong to Mommy", etc.  Gag.  I love Gap's baby clothes and this is a really good time for sales.  I was able to buy a bunch of stuff for 40% off a few days ago and next week I have a coupon for 60% off.

    And other than that, I'm at a loss and will take suggestons too!

  • Yup...Baby Gap. They fit my kids better and last longer. I buy a lot from Target too. I don't like Carters, other than onesies and fleece PJs. I buy stuff from Children's Place and Kohls too. They all usually have a decent amount of plain shirts.

    I have a thing against sports stuff for baby boys. Not a fan. I also don't like hoods or collars, but I did buy Evan a couple of flannel-ish shirts this fall and am surviving :)

  • I hear you.. and I don't even have a boy.  I'm just sick of all the sayings.  The girl stuff really annoys me too.. sorry but I'm not buying a shirt that says "I'm a Diva".  I pretty much try to stay away from any words, some aren't so bad like "Daddy's girl" but I don't know why there are so many.  Or like "If I want something I ask Grandma".  Why can't there just be plain stuff?!

  • Kohls, Target, Carters and Baby Gap clearance. It's tough b/c I'll tell relatives that I love Carters but need to specify not "slogan" carters.

    Oh just wait- for holidays, boy shopping gets even worse. I hope you like polos and khakis, lol.

  • I feel your pain, and am finding it so much harder to find "normal" looking clothes as he gets older. I shop at all the places the others have mentioned, with Children's Place as my favorite.
  • Thank you for the suggestions!! It might be worth a trip for us to find clothes that aten't ugly! Shopping online for everything is no fun. 
  • Children's Place, Old Navy, Gap

    I get a lot of their stuff at the Finger Lakes Outlet Mall- Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger sometimes, but mostly Children's Place, Osh Kosh, and Gap outlets. 

    My new go to is nextdirect.com  I love their stuff.  It is a European store that just started selling in the US.  They have had free shipping for the past month.  Usually the shipping is $5 flat fee.  You get the stuff in 2 business days.   

  • I really like Gymboree but it is pricey.  I did make my first CL purchase of a lot of 2T clothes and they are all Gymboree and Gap...they are in near new condition, and I love all of them.  I got the winter lot for $75 and the Spring and Summer for $60.  I couldn't buy 4-6 pieces for that in the store.  

    I like Carter's for the first year or so. I like the brighter colors on babies.  I have bought stuff at Children's Place, Kohl's,Old Navy and Target as well, but Gym and Carter's are my favorite.

  • Gymboree will always be my favorite.  I get a ton of clothes at Target too though, as Gymboree can get expensive.

  • Girl stuff is the same way - pink, purple, slogans, princesses. I once  told the sales person at Stride Rite that I wanted a shoe that didn't "look like Barbie had puked on it." lol! Of course DD has pink and purple stuff but not everything has to have butterflies and rainbows, puppies and ribbons.  Plain is okay too.
