Stunning range of organic cotton baby clothes in gender neutral colours

I don't work for Lidl btw- or have a baby, but I thought they were lovely

H&M are very good at low impact, low cost, gender neutral baby clothes.

I thought they were very M&P style too SPB - I think my school are similar age to yours, don't know what m&p clothes have looked like for the last 5 years or so, but I know they got a new designer about 5 years ago, who came from Boden.

They are going to be beige if environmentally friendly though. No strong dyes and no bleach.

Must admit I don't like them. Too plain and boring

Gender neutral doesn't have to mean beige

Red is gender neutral for example

I agree. They are very boring. And of course what I loathe about "gender neutral" it just means "no clothes associated with girls".

May be not hugely relevant at that age group but if I were shopping for a baby girl I'd like to be able to include a dress even at that age.

Boooorrrrrrrrriiinnnnggggg.

So dull and bland. Give me bright colours any day.

I thought they were lovely too... I would have bought them for either of mine and I knew their sex from 13 weeks. Made me a bit broody!

They're horrid. Dull, dull, beige. You can't even bleach them like you could plain white.

I saw them in store which is why I commented, the knits are as soft as silk, little shoes are real goatskin.

I think the colours reflect that they are organic. Many bright clothes are dyed using synthetic azo dyes which are harmful to the environment.

But then I love neutral colours anyway.

Those are so boring though!

Floggingmolly · 09/09/2016 17:37

They're bloody awful! Primary colours are hardly gendered, are they? Confused
If anything; sludge colours seem more directed at boys than "neutral".

My mum used to do magnolia everywhere

That's probably why I like a bit more colour Grin

StealthPolarBear · 09/09/2016 17:34

We have a magnolia house! We are king and Queen of "boringly neutral"

ForeverLivingMyArse · 09/09/2016 17:34

How refreshing!
