Cute Cardigans for Little Boys

Finn has such beautiful clothes that it seems a shame to start covering them up, but as September progresses I see autumn on its way and we are starting to think about jumpers, cardigans and layering up to keep warm.  Here are some of my favourites from Melijoe

What the Boys Wore - Melijoe

We are so lucky to have the beach on our doorstep and we have already been making the most of it.  We have a bag set up and hanging from a hook near the door with two sets of buckets and spades, a picnic blanket and sun cream so that we can get up and go as soon as the sun starts shining.  Our local beach is always so quiet this time of year, with all the big kids at school and we love having the run of it, never having to fight for space or queue for ice creams.

We were sent some gorgeous clothes from Melijoe and now that spring is slowly turning into summer, the boys have been able to bare their legs and arms in the sunshine and get sandy. 

Archie's T-shirt is by Aston Martin and his shorts from 3 Pommes.  Archie has a bit of a surfer dude look about him with his floppy blonde hair and he seems to catch the sun so easily that he looks gorgeous in brights.  Being a little bit of an explorer as well, it makes him easier to spot.

Dylan is starting to choose what he wears and if he deems an item to be 'not cool', it is back at the bottom of the pile.  This Desigual T-shirt has passed the test, as have these shorts, also from 3 Pommes.

I would say that all three of these brands are pretty true to size.  Archie is in age 3, and Dylan is wearing age 6 - the same sizes we by for them everywhere and they are a perfect fit.  Dylan's shorts have an adjustable waist and it is pulled in pretty tight so we could have got away with a smaller size, but I like the length on these and we know they will last.

Melijoe offers a variety of different brands with something for everyone.

Alternatives to Baby Blue for Baby Boys

With Finn being my third boy, I have to admit that I am done with pale blue.  When we were expecting Dylan, we stocked up on the traditional baby blue and he suited it completely but I have discovered over the last three years how great a variety of boys clothes there can be, and Finn has a wardobe full of white, grey and colour.  His clothes are fun, comfy and perfect for a baby boy without being overly blue.  

I love colourful baby clothes, playful styles and pictures that remind me of childhood.  Dylan has loved choosing clothes for his little brother, and he always goes for bright (and usually covered in dinosaurs too).  I have found some great independent stores, scandinavian brands and even places on the high street that have great colourful boys clothes.  This sleepsuit is from Melijoe and I love the colour scheme. 

Blue doesn't have to be pale, Finn looks lovely in blue, but we have chosen darker or brighter shades.  No matter how you dress a baby, you will get asked repeatedly whether it is a boy or girl, and dressing him in blue helps other people to recognise them. It also makes it a lot easier to shop!

There is something so precious about babies in white, and I can't resist that angelic look, especially in the first couple of months.  There isn't long where white works as weaning and crawling soon eliminate it from their wardrobe, so I love white on my babys, although with two big brothers who love playing with him, Finn won't be keeping white clean for long either!

These gorgeous babygrows can all be found on the Melijoe website
