A friend of mine told me that it’s not easy to find collared onesies for her 10-month-old baby boy. Nowadays, most bodysuits for baby’s first year are without a collar. My friend said that the French brand Petit Bateau are one of her only few options to buy collared onesies.
I used to dress my baby girls in a classical, preppy style too. It got me thinking. The first manufacturing brands of collared onesies that come to my mind are Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. When searching for other brands I was happy to find that it’s not that difficult after all. Brands like Gymboree and Baby Gap are destinations for bodysuits with collars too.
