I get asked about Arlo’s wardrobe all the time, so I rounded up my favorite places to find colorful, well-made baby clothes. It’s frustrating when options feel limited to stereotypical “boy” or “girl” palettes, so I look for brands that offer fresh colorways, playful prints and comfortable basics that work for any child. Below are the shops and pieces we reach for again and again.

June & January

June & January is probably our most-worn brand. I love their color choices — bold and lively but slightly unexpected, not just primary colors. Their silhouettes are classic with subtle twists, so pieces feel special without being fussy. Arlo lives in their one-pieces like the tank shorty and the long-sleeve jumper. They also recently released striped pajamas that I’m obsessed with.

Lola & Stella

We only own a few pieces from Lola & Stella — like the cactus shorts — but I adore their prints. They offer lots of fruit, food and whimsical patterns, and many items are organic. Their prints make simple outfits feel fun and unique.

Primary

Primary is my go-to for affordable colorful basics. Their onesies, leggings and tees come in solid, saturated shades beyond the usual baby staples. They offer bundle discounts too, which is great for stocking up. We have many short- and long-sleeve onesies from Primary — they make dressing an active baby so much easier since shirts can ride up during play.

The Bonnie Mob

I love The Bonnie Mob for knitwear and special pieces. Their collections use color, pattern and lots of rainbows — a refreshing change from the overly neutral knits you see elsewhere. Their rompers and sweaters are excellent for holidays or first birthdays, and the knitwear is warm without being scratchy. They also have cute denim options.

Little Kid Outfit

Kira Kids

Kira Kids is great for graphic tees, sweatshirts and patterned bottoms. Their prints — ice cream, rocket ships and other kid-friendly themes — are well designed and never cheesy. The colors are lively and pair nicely with solid basics.

Oh Joy for Target

Target’s general selection can be a bit narrow, but the Oh Joy collection stands out. The line uses mint and turquoise, fun patterns and cute details like knee patches, which make simple items feel fresh and modern.

Baby Gap

Gap often has colorful stripes and playful basics. We have a stripe sweater from Baby Gap that remains a favorite, and I frequently check both sections of their shop for pieces that work for Arlo regardless of how they’re labeled.

Freshly Picked

Freshly Picked is where we get almost all of Arlo’s shoes. They come in tons of colors, are easy to put on (no laces or Velcro), and the soft soles are ideal for early walkers. Plus, they’re durable and chew-proof — a bonus when babies like to gnaw on everything.

I’m planning to start sharing more outfit combos like these on Instagram because baby clothes are just too fun not to show off.
