If there’s anything that’s fun to do online, it’s shopping for the best baby clothes brands. We dare you not to smile looking at those teeny-tiny shoes and baby pajama sets. But with so many (too many, really) choices, we polled the people who know best: real parents who spend a lot of time and money outfitting their own kids season after season. (We know a thing or two about how much clothing these little ones go through).
And with Father’s Day around the corner, if you’re on the hunt for a present for a new dad there are tons of unique pieces that will seriously impress. Whether you’re shopping for a parent-to-be, like a new mom, or you’re simply in the market for fresh clothing for the summer, these are the best places to shop for babies.
So you want to splurge a little on the little ones? We get it. They’re only one-year-olds once. This may be the cutest they’ll be their whole life! (Kidding, we said may.) There are plenty of mom-and-pop shops that curate beautiful brands in this lane, so after you check your local baby stores, here are some of our go-to places to shop, especially if you’re looking for a thoughtful baby gift.
Hanna Andersson is an Oregon-based company that parents have turned to for decades. Its signature is print-forward, ultra-comfy clothing that you can buy for the whole family (think tons of mommy-and-me outfits). It was founded by Gun Dunhart, a Swedish woman, in the 1980s and you can still find that Scandi sensibility at Hanna Andersson. “If there isn’t enough to love already, my family can’t resist the brand’s fun partnerships with beloved pop culture and Disney characters (like Mickey, Snoopy, and Miffy) and franchises (like Harry Potter and Star Wars) fit for whatever phase the kiddo’s in,” says Glamour contributor Brigitt Earley, who is a mom of four. It also has all kinds of seasonal drops for holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and summer. The clothing isn’t all about the fun prints, though. The material is super soft (especially its new bamboo pajamas) for comfort and durable for longevity. Some pajama styles cycled through all four of my kiddos without any sign of excess wear.
Pros: Soft and durable materials, fun prints and collabs Cons: Popular styles sell out quickly
Best for: Playful prints / Size ranges: 0/3 months–3Y / Shipping: Free on select orders / Return policy: Returns within 60 days, less shipping costs

Maisonette is the ideal place to find a show-stopping present. The multi-brand marketplace was founded by Vogue alums Luisana Mendoza and Sylvana Durrett (mothers themselves).

Whatever you do, do not sleep on Maisonette’s in-house label Maison Me. “I love that it offers luxury-like pieces at more affordable prices, which often go on sale, and it has tons of cute mommy-and-me sets,” says Earley. While you’re shopping, you might also want to peep its toy section. Like the clothes it offers, the toys are attractive, high-quality, and exceptionally giftable.

Here you’ll find seasonal wardrobe staples (cable-knit sweaters for winter, cotton linen shorts for summer) alongside more “fun” pieces like ruffled baby swimsuits and cat-eye sunglasses. While the price points are higher than some of the other baby brands on this list, the quality is unmatched. As the brand says on its website: “We make clothes that last. Keepsakes that can stay with your family or be handed down for someone else to love.”

Here’s a brand that really needs no explanation. It’s for the mom or dad who would simply adore seeing their little one in this British label’s playful, vibrant, and photo-ready outfits. “I can't help but think of picture day every time I shop Boden,” says Earley. Of course, they also have great basics, especially if you catch a sale.
