i think they look sweet but some of my friends relly hate this look. but then i hate the surfer/skateboarder/footballer/soldier look they all dress their toddlers in. omg and if i see another newborn dressed up as a rabbit or bear i think i will scream!!

my ds wouldn't wear anything like that

he prefers surfer look and is quite fickle about what he wears,drives me mad.

insists on wearing shorts all year

newborn rabbits/teddies make me smile

I love boys in jumpers and tank tops (though my DS does also wear hoodies, but not sporty stuff).

Tank tops in particular are great for little boys. They add warmth but are easy to get on and off, and you can still roll up sleeves easily for eating/painting/etc. i remember when I discovered them when DS was about 6mo and he's been in them ever since.

I must admit I really like it when he's wearing cord trousers, a long-sleeved top and a woolly tank top - he looks so cute. (But I won't impose it on him if he decided he hates it.)

DS(2) fundamentally opposed to all jumpers.
Will consider tanktops however as I have told him they are vests.
Very practical IMo

DS has a lovely navy tank top which he wears with a stripey shirt or long sleeved t-shirts and navy cords, ahhh

Actually,I think they look ok, in a retro-y way - as long as they're not Pringle-ish

I made ds a 30s style tank slipover for being Just William at World Book Day and he loves it
Am definitely not a fan of Pringle-type knitwear but ds does actually dress like Just William a lot of the time - shorts or cords, shirts and jumpers/slipovers. He even has a lovely cord jacket. That's mah boy!

when ds dressed up for 50s day he looked cute in his sleeveless pullover (old school jumper with arms hacked off) - could see him as a school boy of that era (on my profile if interested !)

Oh, sweet
Ds definitely has retro-dandy tendencies which we are doing our utmost to foster

Oh no not pringly - I prefer a more rugged/bookish woolly look, like a mini professor

My friend's DD has this!

Just not a fan nappyaddict
I think it's my age, for me Pringle knitwear is unfortunately linked with BNP-supporting 1970s teens round where I lived

Love a tank top over a shirt or t-shirt - cute and practical. Hate camouflage, skateboard logos and slogans.
And bunny ears and tails on sleepsuits and snowsuits, nooooooooooooo!

If you'd seen DS's ears when he was a baby you'd know we had no need for Yoda costumes...

Thankfully he seems to have grown into them.
