Children’s clothing and accessories

Make your baby comfortable for discovering the world! Picking the right clothes for a newborn or clothes for older children is not difficult. Whether you're looking for a baby’s short- or long-sleeved bodysuit, baby hats or cute baby rompers, or if you want to delight older children with beautiful accessories such as hats for boys and girls or children’s sunglasses, we can help you pick the best!

Types of children’s clothing

Children’s clothing for babies and older children should always be comfortable, of good qualityand, most importantly, practical. The basic types include:

• Baby bodysuits are comfortable t-shirts for babies that fasten between the legs, on the shoulders or in a wrapover style. Baby bodysuits are made of comfortable materials, cover the back and hold the nappy in place. Baby bodysuits can have long or short sleeves; lightweight sleeveless bodysuits are popular in the summer months.
• Baby rompers are comfortable suits for babies that also cover the feet, which fasten on the shoulders for easy nappy changing during the day.
• Baby trousers are children’s trousers that stop at the waist, with a wide elastic band to keep them in place well without any pressure anywhere.
• Tops and t-shirts for babies with short and long sleeves made of comfortable, breathable materials are a great complement to trousers and bodysuits, and are also suitable for layering over baby bodysuits.
• Onesies for babies and older children are long-sleeved outfits that also cover your child’s feet and are ideal for the colder months. Children’s onesies are usually fastened along their length to make them easy to put on and some have hoods.
• Children’s jackets, coats and jumpsuits for babies for the cooler weather are available in many materials and designs, from elegant and designer pieces to sporty ones which are suitable, for instance, for trips or for going to the playground.

Our tip: Pick clothes for both your baby and older children so that you can layer them if needed and easily react to changes in temperature inside or out.

Children’s accessories

Children’s accessories, such as children’s gloves, caps for girls and boys, sunglasses or practical backpacks, are an integral part of your child’s wardrobe. In addition, accessories with their favourite fairytale designs are a beautiful gift for your little ones.

• Baby bootees are soft boots that cover and warm your baby’s feet. Bootees for newborns are not used to train them to walk, and are intended only for the smallest children.
• Children’s hats protect your baby’s head in all types of weather. Windproof and draught-proof baby hats and cheerful baby caps for girls and boys are available in many designs and materials for your baby’s ultimate comfort.
• Baby mittens keep your baby’s hands beautifully warm, are easy to put on, and stay on. There are many children’s mittens on the market, from baby mitts without thumbs to children’s mittens or winter gloves for children.
• Small children’s backpacks are great for walks and trips. A child’s backpack has plenty of room to stash their favourite toy or snacks for children.
• Children’s jewellery and headbands with designs showing their favourite fairytale characters will make every little girl’s eyes light up, and complement their outfit perfectly.

How to pick children’s clothes

Choosing clothes for little girls and boys depends on the age of the child, the season and the occasion for which you’re dressing them. Alongside pleasant material, the fastening and the correct child size, you should also think about combining their clothes, which can make your job easier when dressing your baby.

Our tip: A practical set of clothing for a baby is a perfectly colour-coordinated set of clothes for newborns and bigger babies. A newborn clothing gift set includes, for example, a cute baby romper, baby bib, baby mitts, baby hat and baby bootees. It's also great as a baby gift.

Clothing sizes for babies and older children

Clothing sizes for children are based on the age of the baby or the height of the child. Children’s sizes start at size 50 for infant clothing; clothing for teenagers goes up to size 176. In principle, the clothes must be loose enough not to impede the child’s movement.

Materials for children’s clothing

Children's skin is very sensitive, so when choosing suitable clothing for newborns, infants and toddlers, keep an eye on the material used, which should provide maximum comfort and freedom of movement and not irritate the skin. Another factor when picking suitable material is low-maintenance material.

• Cotton feels comfortable on the skin and is soft and breathable. It cools in summer and warms in winter. You can usually wash children’s clothes made of cotton in the washing machine and put them in the dryer if necessary.
• Bamboo is a more sustainable textile that is soft and pleasant to the touch, but also very breathable. In addition, bamboo fibre has excellent thermal insulation properties, making it suitable for the colder months.
• Linen is a smooth material that is pleasant to the touch and absorbs moisture and sweat. It is ideal for hot summer days and is perfectly suited to children’s sensitive skin.
• Terry made from cotton fibre is most commonly used for children’s bathrobes and children's towels.
• Wool, fleece and merino from sheep are excellent materials for the winter months as they are soft, warm and have excellent thermoregulating properties. These materials should not be missing from your baby’s clothes – you can find wool snoods, coats or onesies on the market.
• Synthetic fibres are ideal for all outdoor activities. Materials with elastane allow children to move about freely and the breathability of the fabric prevents excessive sweating.
• Softshell is also suitable for even the smallest babies as it is partially waterproof and protects against wind. You can find softshell bootees for babies, trousers, or baby jackets and coveralls.

Types of fastenings for children’s clothing

Details on clothing can affect your child’s comfort, in this case elastic, poppers, zips and press studs, which should be easy to undo without irritating your baby’s skin or pressing on it uncomfortably. Poppers, buttons, cords and zips should allow for easy changes of clothing and nappy changing so that you do not have to turn the baby over or otherwise handle them unnecessarily. The ideal solution is baby clothes that you can fasten at the front, on the side, between the legs or at the shoulders.

Colours and details for baby clothes

Last but not least, many parents focus on the colours of their baby’s clothes or details with their favourite fairytale or cartoon characters. Children’s clothes are available in a wide range of colours with children's designs and cute details such as ruffles, pockets and various accessories. It is also important that baby and toddler clothes stay colourfast even when they are washed frequently.
