You (finally) put away the baby sweaters and snowsuits. It’s time to jump into summer styles for the littles! And baby can rock so much more than a onesie. Check out these warm-weather threads for sunny days ahead.
Baby Empire Dress by Tea Collection
Perfect for a morning at the playground or an afternoon at the museum, this adorable dress rocks a kid-friendly vibe but is decidedly cool with an almost Warhol-like pop-art quality. A keyhole button at the back completes the girly silhouette. And the short sleeves are cuffed, keeping it casual.
Available at Tea Collection, $35.50.
Print Pocket Romper by Tea Collection
Nothing says summer like a fruit-printed romper. The pineapples romper by Tea Collection is super easy to throw on thanks to shoulder and diaper snaps. The short sleeves and legs keep baby cool while the 100% cotton jersey fabric ensures everything is breathable.

Wildflowers Bloomer Shorts by Finn + Emma
Let your little one wander free this summer in these soft, easy-to-wear bloomer shorts.
