This 2023 winter was intense! Lots of snow, storms and flooding everywhere.
Now that the weather is finally warming up, parents are getting excited to get outdoors for picnics and family events with their babies and toddlers. People want their kids looking adorable and chic while also staying cool.
Family traveling is also on the rise and parents are looking at versatile clothing to work for sleep, play, beach days and travel.
Parents are starting to ask the big question of how to dress their babies or toddlers for spring/summer.
Our team at KidsBlanks by Zoe has compiled a list of noteworthy trends for parents and boutique business owners to stay up-to-date on stylish and trendy baby and toddler clothes for spring/summer.
Baby & Toddler Apparel Market
The baby and kids clothing market is expected to grow from its $62.04 billion value in 2019 to $82.54 billion by 2027. There is a lot of room to open your own clothing business and be successful!
Fashion trends are changing to include babies and toddlers. Social media plays a big role in influencing the baby and kids fashion market. Lots of parents want their children to look fashionable but also feel comfortable, thus driving the growth of the baby and kids fashion industry.
Another factor that contributes to this industry’s growth is the increased demand for eco-friendly and sustainable baby and toddler fashion clothing.
Baby Trends
In recent years, many companies have shifted away from plain baby & toddler clothes such as plain white baby onesies. Many companies are now offering their children’s clothing lines in a variety of colors, design patterns, and styles. As a result, kids now have the opportunity to express their individuality through clothing with the wider range of options available.
Spring and summer is a great time to sport bright blues, pinks and yellow onesies. Floral print onesies and tshirts also add a fun vibrant print. This season is great for trying new combinations since summer is a fun time to play around with electric colors.
Fall and winter is a good time to wear mint green, black and coral onesies. For patterns you may even see stripes and polka dots. Have fun mixing and matching them with grays and black solid colored onesies, joggers and baby clothing.

Pastel Colors
Pastel colors were on a brief hiatus since the 90’s but just like other trends from that era they’re making a comeback! Another new trend is that pink isn’t just for girls anymore. Many big brands are branching out and printing boys’ clothing onto light pink or salmon pink t-shirts.
For girls puff sleeve onesies and t-shirts are back also and looking so adorable! Another fun trend for baby girls are peplum tops. They add an adorable flair when paired with leggings or bloomer/diaper covers.
Pigment Tie Dyed Shirts
Tie dye prints have always been on and off in the world of fashion. They’re making a big resurgence in the fashion industry. The bright colored tie dye of the 70’s aren’t in style anymore. Now it’s all about tie dyes in muted tones and like gray and white known as smoke or tans and white known as latte.
Be careful though because some of these shirts will bleed when washing them with other clothing. We found a brand that doesn’t bleed while washing and has beautiful muted pigment dyed designs, called The Laughing Giraffe®. Check them out here.
Hoodies & Jogger Pants
Oversized everything seems to be on trend as of late. Babies and toddlers sporting hoodies or matching tracksuits is a classic trend and always in style. Early 2000’s it was the velour tracksuits, 2010’s sports tracksuits became popular again, now in 2020’s oversized sweatshirts with joggers are now all the rage.
Our favorite baby hoodies and baby jogger pants are from The Laughing Giraffe®. These feature 100% polyester fleece making them perfect for sublimation printers but are also comfy cozy as is! The inside lining is so warm.
Neutral and Earth Tone Shades
Neutral shades like beige, cream and black are still taking over the baby clothing trends in 2023. These classic colors are also joined by “nearly neutrals” like sage and blush pink. Earthy shades like olive, burgundy, muted blue, mustard and rust are also trending in baby clothing. These are easy to mix and match for everyday wear. Especially neutral onesies and earth tone onesies. They’re a huge hit!
Some parents opt for textured neutral toned baby clothes. Which adds a little character to a muted colored garment. It’s a baby clothing trend we don’t see ending any time soon.
Gender Neutral Clothing
It may be surprising in the day and age of elaborate gender reveal parties that more and more parents are opting for gender neutral clothing. Whether they’re keeping the gender a surprise or they want to reuse the clothing for future children who may be a different gender, it is now very commonplace. There are tons of stylish clothing to choose from that are anything but basic. Unisex onesies are beloved classics parents love!
