Simple steps for dressing your little one with intention (and style)
When it comes to dressing babies, less truly can be more.
A capsule wardrobe isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a breath of fresh air for busy parents who want clothing that works hard and feels soft. With thoughtful pieces that mix, match, and last, a capsule wardrobe simplifies mornings, saves money, and reduces waste (hello, sustainable parenting).
Here’s how to build one that works:
1. Start with the essentials
Think function first. Your baby’s capsule wardrobe should include:
- 5-7 zippered rompers (ideal for day & night)
- 4-5 bodysuits or short-sleeve tops
- 2-3 pairs of comfy leggings or joggers
- 2 layering pieces (a cardigan or cozy hoodie)
- 1-2 hats + a pair of booties or socks
- Optional: special occasion outfit (but only if it sparks joy!)
💡 Pro tip: Stick to a cohesive color palette so everything goes together.
2. Choose high-quality, seasonless fabrics
Babies grow fast, but good fabrics last. Look for breathable, stretchy, and buttery-soft options like bamboo (ahem, our specialty). They regulate temperature, wash beautifully, and feel like a hug.
3. Size up (but not too much)
It’s tempting to buy bigger, but oversized clothes can bunch or become a safety hazard while sleeping. Choose size ranges that allow room to grow without compromising comfort.
4. Rotate with intention
When your baby outgrows a size, donate or pass along what’s still in great shape. Keep a small bin of “next size up” staples so you’re never caught off guard.
