Best cheap baby clothes - Chicago Tribune

Affordable clothes for babies

Everyone wants their baby to look their best. Whether it's the first day of daycare or an afternoon out strolling in the park, there are dozens of adorable ways to dress up little ones. Of course, they seem to grow faster than you can buy clothes. And on top of that, the seasons and weather are constantly changing and making new demands on a baby's wardrobe.

To help you keep up and keep your kid looking great and comfortable without breaking the bank, we've compiled a list of inexpensive but high-quality stylish clothes for babies. And better yet, since no one with a baby at home has time for it, there's no need to take a trip to the mall. All of these choices for the best places to buy kids' clothing are available online.

Cheap basics for babies

Let's start off with the essentials. These are the items that every baby needs, at a reasonable price tag.

Best socks for babies

You can find a 25-pack of baby socks from Duufin on Amazon. These adorable miniature cotton socks are soft and frictionless, designed to keep sensitive skin calm and dry. Plus, they come in all sorts of different colors for the baby (or parent) who loves to match. You can opt for a monochrome pack to make pairing your socks straightforward every time.

Best cheap onesies 

A solid set of comfortable onesies is a must-have for little ones. This pack of five short-sleeve bodysuits from Gerber are stretchy, easy to wash and make diaper changes seamless. In addition, these inexpensive onesies have options to grow along with your little one. You can choose from sizes for newborns to 9 months old.

If you would like something with a little more personality than plain white onesies, this five-pack of onesies from Hudson Baby comes printed with adorable zoo animals, stripes and polka dots.

Best long-sleeve onesies

When the weather gets chilly, keep your baby warm without investing in a whole new wardrobe. Long-sleeve onesies pair with any pants and add an extra layer of insulation against the chill. These super soft hooded onesies from Hanes come in packs of three and have 11 different colors to choose from.

Best cheap pants for babies

You can expect your baby's pants to face some wear and tear, especially if they're already crawling. These smart cotton pants from Carter's are machine-washable and have an elastic waistband and cuffed ankles that stay put no matter how active your little one is. They come in sets of grey and blue, as well as green and pink.

Best wardrobe set for babies

If you're looking for a one-stop purchase to outfit your baby with a full wardrobe for all weather, this 17-piece set from Hanes has you covered. It includes short- and long-sleeved onesies and shirts, four pairs of stretchy pants and four matching bibs to keep your kid clean (or at least a little cleaner). You can find this set in sizes ranging from newborn to 24 months.

Cheap baby pajamas

Make sure your baby is comfortable at night with a pair of warm and cozy PJs. These one-piece pajamas from Gerber have foot coverings so you can rest assured that every last little toe is warm all night long. And while these are technically pajamas, they're also cute and functional enough to double as a daytime outfit.

Cheap stylish clothes for babies 

Even if you're on a budget, you don't have to dress baby in cotton from head to toe all the time. There are some great inexpensive and downright adorable outfits and statement pieces for your baby to wear on special occasions.

Best floral pant set for babies

This shirt and jeans combo from CARETOO is as cute as baby clothes come. The shirt is a pretty ruffled style with a floral pattern and the jeans are shabby-chic and ripped in just the right places. Plus, they're super stretchy for plenty of room to move and for easy diaper changes.

Best shorts for babies

Give baby's legs some breathing room in comfortable and breathable shorts. This set of drawstring cotton shorts from Amazon Essentials has a vintage athletic club vibe that's just right for active babies. And they come in patriotic red, white and blue, so you already have the perfect Fourth of July outfit ready to go.

Best cheap jeans for babies

When you take your baby for a night out, why not go all-out in a pair of comfortable, but fashionable jeans? The straight jeans from The Children's Place come in two different washes and are affordable enough for you to spring for both. These pull-on jeans have five pockets and a straight leg opening so your little one can rock a classic denim look.

Best affordable baby dresses

A cotton sundress can be the easiest thing to pull on on a hot day. This is why this set of four patterned short-sleeve sundresses from Luvable Friends is a must-have for babies in the summer. These dresses are stretchy and soft and are just as comfortable in the summer as they are in the winter with a matching pair of leggings underneath.

Cheap outerwear for babies

Don't forget layers! Swaddle your baby against inclement weather with these inexpensive but reliable pieces of outwear.

Best fleece zip-up for babies

The Hanes Ultimate Baby Zippin Fleece Hoodie is perfect for all occasions and activities. It comes in 12 different colors and patterns so there's an option for every baby. It's also made of the softest fabric that keeps babies' skin happy and warm.

Best cheap down jacket for babies

When it gets really cold out, protect kids from the elements in this insulated down jacket from Eddie Bauer. The hood keeps heads and ears protected, while the wind and water-repellent material can handle anything that comes its way.

Best snowsuit for baby

There's nothing quite as snuggly as a baby tucked into a fleece-lined snowsuit from head to toe. And this hooded puffer winter snowsuit from DKNY is as practical as it is adorable. Your baby is guaranteed a comfortable and warm stroller walk in this suit, no matter the weather.

Inexpensive snow boots for babies

Little feet need protection too! And while snow boots can get expensive, these soft and flexible padded winter snow boots from Kuner are reasonably priced and lined with thick plush for comfort and warmth. The bottoms also have extra traction to keep babies on their feet, even in slippery conditions. They're unisex shoes with some room to grow into, so you may even get an extra season out of them.
