Hi ladies,

This is a fluffy one...but bear with me!

I am hunting for unisex baby grows which aren't white, 'sludgy oatmeal' or grey! The second hand ones we've been given are much nicer than what I can currently find in the shops (e.g. have brightly coloured prints etc.) but I would like LO to have some new things.

I'm not a fan of yellow (I don't feel it's really unisex - it's girly to me), but would love anything with bold stripes, animal motifs etc.

Where have you made your cutest unisex buys?

Thanks!!

Next have gorgeous bright sleep suits!..

I have just seen some ridiculously cute things in Boden but they are also expensive.

Scandinavia! Honestly all my coolest buys have been Scandinavian brands - check out Katvig, Smafolk, Ida T, Molo, Ej Sikke Lej... For more regularly accessible bits H&M are cool, and the Baby K range at Mothercare is pretty nice.

Those Scandi brands can often be picked up for cheap at TKMaxx LaTristesse I love 'em too :)

Another vote for John Lewis.

I bought a ridiculous amount of black and white from TKMaxx today. My favourite being the black and white striped night 'gown' (I will never use sleepsuits at night while I have a supply of clean gowns/bundlers) that is in Fairtrade organic cotton. It's amazing quality for £6.

I also recommend Boots and Sainsbury's, always wash nicely. Most of the 'unisex' stuff is labelled as 'boys' though.

Oh and I did see that M&S had some black/red vests online yesterday, too.

Voting for John Lewis, Green baby and Soup Dragon, a shop near to me in Dulwich but you can buy online. I bought the awesomest cow sleepsuit there :o

Wow - thanks for all the suggestions ladies! Can't wait to get online shopping this weekend Grin Bub will be well dressed after all!

John lewis has some nice stuff, and m&s!

I bought some cute unisex stuff in Next a few days ago. Don't know if we're having a boy or a girl and we're unlikely to find out as it is hospital policy not to disclose the sex. Regardless, I don't want a plethora of baby pink or blue and I'm sure others will buy us that sort of stuff when baby arrives so I'm loving this thread and can't wait to get shopping properly.

I have a special dislike towards baby blue and pink, it just annoys the crap out of me. DS's wardrobe is full of colour but, I must say it wasn't easy.
Also, babies in bright colours make me feel a bit nostalgic. It reminds me of my siblings when they were little. My mum made a lot of their clothes and they looked awesome in them, it's almost like as if babies in bright colours have just that little bit more bounce in them :)

Mamas and Papas have gorgeous unisex clothes - definitely on teh pricey side, but the quality looks lovely.

John Lewis has some stuff - but not loads.

Boots have some nice unisex stuff too with spots (very pudsey bear type spots!).

Mothercare also does some nice stuff in a minty green. We have a couple of minty sleepsuits from there.

Lucylucy57 · 15/02/2012 10:22

Next have some great ones, I bought quite a few from there myself last weekend. Brilliant stars, stipes and spotty patterns along with some really nice animal designs. Reasonable prices and they feel very well made too.

DedalusDigglesPocketWatch · 15/02/2012 10:39

I love the H&M ones. I wanted the Polarn O Pyret ones, but couldnt justify the price, but now I probably wouldn't use any others. They are lovely and soft, shaped around the legs, poppers at the shoulders so the baby doesn't get that 'off the shoulder' look of some vests.

Oops, just realised you said babygros not vests (idiot) still, go to H&M anyway :o

capecath · 15/02/2012 13:27

Next - we got some great ones with some brightly coloured giraffes and zebras on them!
