When it comes to baby clothes, there’s no shortage of options. You can score freebies from dedicated Facebook groups, negotiate with sellers in the Marketplace or head to your local Once Upon a Child to shop secondhand finds. Or, if you prefer to shop brand-new (and have a little cash in the bank), you can find plenty of great options from big retailers like Amazon, Target and Old Navy or boutique brands like Boden and Pact.
The average baby goes through several outfit changes a day, and those clothes take a beating. Spit-up, diaper blowouts, berry stains and friction from crawling all add up to wear and tear on their little outfits. That’s why you need a few go-to brands of girl clothes to keep your little one clean, comfortable and looking cute.
Carter’s is a popular choice for many new parents, and you can usually find an entire season’s worth of basics at the retailer—plus they tend to have frequent sales that let you stock up on clothes for even less. They also have a lot of cute and versatile outfit sets, like PJs and dresses that make dressing up a breeze.
Target is another great option for finding affordable girl clothes, and they have a wide variety of Carter’s pieces as well as their own line of Cat & Jack clothing. They’re also known to have a good selection of outfit sets and coordinating accessories, including shoes, headbands and bows.
Nordstrom loyalists may not be surprised to learn that the retailer has a solid selection of girl clothes, particularly formalwear for newborns and babies up to age two. Look for classic lace dresses, button-ups and polos in sizes 0-24 months that strike the perfect balance between style and practicality.
If you’re on the hunt for more trendy (but still budget-friendly) baby clothes, try checking out Zara’s selection of girls outfit sets and rompers. You can often find markdowns on these pieces, making them a steal for any occasion from family gatherings to friends’ baby showers.
Monica+Andy is another brand that’s likely to be on the baby registry of any fashionable mom, and it’s also a solid place to find bargain girl clothes. This Chicago-based retailer specializes in GOTS-certified (Good Organic Textiles Standard) apparel that’s kind to babies and looks adorable. You’ll love their colorful kimonos, printed onesies and rainbow-hued pajamas, plus they have lots of other stylish apparel for baby boys and girls. Their sale section is always a treasure trove of standout pieces at unbeatable prices.
