Long gone are the days of baby clothing having to be made from terry cloth, with Peter Pan collars, smocking, bloomers and embroidery (unless you're in the Royal family, that is). Instead, clothing for babies and toddlers tends to be just as - if not more so - stylish than our own wardrobes. If you're a fan of animal print, we've popped together the best animal-print baby clothes for your little one.
Animal-print clothes, particularly leopard-print, have been popular in grown-up circles for years. I bet you've got at least one pair of leopard-print pumps in your shoe cupboard. Or, maybe you've considered some safari decor.
And now, baby clothing retailers have caught up. You can buy a massive range of animal-print outfits for your little ones. Whether you're looking for leopard-print leggings or zebra-print PJs, there's something for every adventure.
We've been scouring the online shops to find our favourite animal-print baby clothes. We've thrown in a few toddler outfits for luck, too. You'll find a few styles from H&M with its range of leopard-print baby outfits.
