AIBU to think there is nothing wrong with Disney / character clothing?

[BunnytheFriendlyDragon]

Baby is 3 months old.

DH thinks Disney clothing is "chavvy?"

I think it's fine for babies / children

I don't like it, but then I don't really like Disney so it holds very little appeal to me. I'm fine with my child wearing their preferred character clothes now he's old enough to fall in love with things.

That said, he had Harry Potter bibs when he was tiny and I loved them :D So I guess if I liked Disney I would think it was cute.

I know what you mean op but I just think Disney characters on kids clothes are cute, my DD has a few Minnie mouse tops and DS has some clothing with Dumbo on. The Next ones are nice and they aren't exactly cheap or tacky.

* People who take offense to their kids wearing character clothing need their heads looked at. They're kids. They like characters if they want something just buy them it.*

Of course it’s fine, just not to everyone’s taste.

I think they look awful. Like the dressing up clothes for toddlers and above and of course if a child expresses a preference they can have it … but when they are so little?

I also hate Disney nightwear for adult women and Disney ties, so I may be a little bit biased.

By which I mean, lots of people will find it a bit tacky, and some people also avoid Disney films etc for kids full stop. So it’s up to how you and DH feel - who feels more strongly?

Wasn’t very clear, dressing up clothes good fun and should be worn at every opportunity IMHO.

Nah it’s not chavvy. Some of it’s cuter/nicer than other bits though.

Your classism is showing

Not overly keen ....
But that's me

I’m currently wearing a sweatshirt with Mickey & Pluto on the front.

Your DH would hate me……

At that age you just dress them in whatever you like, as long as its practical. I personally dont like Disney branded items, but once my DC got to an age they could display a preference, I was happy to oblige.

If you like the Disney items then buy and use them. Dh can go and choose some items he likes too and when he dresses the baby can put them in stuff he likes.

If children and babies aren't supposed to wear it, who is? Nigel the 50 year old accountant? Who cares! Put your baby in whatever you want.

The outfits in the link are cute. I don't think Disney is chavvy at all.

A bit rude of your DH to me. What does he mean by chavvy?

It's fine. My dc are older and like to wear clothes emblazoned with Minecraft, Harry Potter and Lego logos. I don't really like them but it's their choice and I'm happy for them to wear it if I can afford to buy it.

Your DH would hate my entire house. There is probably a Disney item in every room. All of us have Disney branded clothing. If that makes me a chav then so be it. Am wearing socks with a Mickey Mouse embroidery as I type this!

Your DH is a snob

Agree with DH.

There were some interesting comments on the posh thread recently which could apply here.

If you judge a baby based on how stylish you think they look, you have no class worth worrying about.

Don't worry, it will soon be covered in sick/wee/poo and spend more time in the washing machine than it does on the baby, and be outgrown within weeks.

I'm not a fan of it, nor anything with slogans etc on, for babies or grown ups.

I kind of agree with your DH. But I don’t like any branding or obvious labels/characters on baby clothes. Once they’re toddlers and are choosing themselves then I don’t mind so much. But on small babies I prefer stuff to be more plain.

I don't think they're chavvy at all.

I like Disney too I think it's cute. I like babies dressed in baby grows. But that my preference for my own children i don't care what other people dress their kids in.
