Baby boy clothes

What the sets include

Most pieces here are two-piece sets, or a baby suit as a two-piece is usually called in Pakistan: a henley, sweatshirt or knit sweater with matching joggers. The dinosaur set pairs a printed sweatshirt with grey joggers that have a dinosaur on one knee, the striped sweatshirt has a half zip that opens the neck for quick dressing, and the dungarees set has a teddy on the bib and buttons at the straps and sides, over a striped top. The six sweater sets are cable, check and chevron knits with a small teddy on the chest, and the three jacket sets, made mostly for boys, close with buttons or press studs over joggers to match.

For a new born, the blue, brown and taupe panda sets and the navy striped teddy set on the newborn gift sets page have six or seven matching pieces, including a hooded blanket. The full range of two-piece sets is on baby suits and sweater sets.

Sleepsuits and jumpsuits for nights and going out

The three footed sleepsuits, teddy and stars, the baseball pinstripe and the striped elephant, have snaps down the front and covered feet, so there are no socks to lose at night. The two polo rompers, with the embroidered car and the sailboats, are short-sleeved with snaps at the legs for quick nappy changes. For going out, the grey bear and the cream puppy hooded jumpsuits zip from the neck down and have ribbed cuffs; take the hood down once you are indoors. All seven are on the rompers, jumpsuits and sleepsuits page as well.

Choosing his size by length and weight

Go by his length and weight in the size guide, not his age alone. Every piece comes in 0–3, 3–6, 6–12, 12–18 and 18–24 months. If he is between two sizes, take the bigger one: the joggers have a drawstring or elasticated waist, ribbed cuffs can be turned back, and a footed sleepsuit should have a little room at the toes.
