Where to Shop for the Best Toddler Clothes
Looking for toddler clothing that’s not all princesses and airplanes? We’ve got you covered.
While it’s hard to beat tiny baby clothing on the cuteness scale, toddler clothing comes very close. Instead of buying bodysuits and footies, you get to pick out separates and put together actual toddler outfits (complete with accessories if you wish!). For many clothing brands, the toddler girls section always seems to be double what’s available for toddler boys—but not for the brands featured in this guide. Whether you’re looking for neutral basics or that colorful kids’ aesthetic, here are our favorite places to shop for toddler clothing.
Old Navy
You may have shopped at Old Navy for maternity and nursing clothes at a great price, but they also have a cute selection of affordable toddler boys and girls clothing. Most of their selection is designed to mix and match so you can easily put together cute outfits. Sizing ranges from 12 months-6T.
Cat & Jack
As if you really needed another reason to make a Target run. This exclusive line is a popular pick among parents of babies and toddlers, and for good reason!
