We’ll do a boys roundup soon as I’m sure there’s some amazing styles to be found!

The classics never go out of style, and that includes fashion. While the hottest colors of the season may shift and change, the bold yet simple look of black and white are practically timeless. If you want baby clothes that will not fade out of style before your baby outgrows them, look to black and white patterns and prints that make statements.

One of the simplest ways to get this look is with the classic black and white dress. There is no need to search for overstated styles or an abundance of accessories. Just a simple print in these two opposing colors can give any dress a classic appeal. Whether is is white on black, or black on white, having a dress like this on hand will give you a simple go-to formal outfit that never looks dated on your baby.

You can also pair the two colors in separates for a bold yet simple look. Give your baby a black shirt and a pair of white pants for a two-tone outfit that looks like too much fun. Or layer a pair of black baby leggings under a white skirt for a cute play outfit that is great for any time. Try a black vest over a white shirt, or a white sweater with a black romper. No matter how you pair them, these two colors always work well together.

Of course, you do not have to stick to just clothes to add a black and white touch. Baby accessories can be mixed and matched to go with any outfit in any color. Grab a great zebra print baby hat or hair bow in the basic black and white to add a little more style and elegance to anything your little one wears.

The best part of the black and white pairing, is that you can change them up so easily by adding a splash of color here and there. Layer a colored shirt underneath, or add a bright cardigan. Mix things up by adding in just a bit of color here and there to give your baby’s black and white outfit a personal appeal.

There is something wonderfully timeless about black and white. No matter what the season, or what the occasion, grab these two simple colors and toss them together for an eye catching look for your baby.

Hackett London has launched their Kids’ Designer Clothing range that was inspired by it’s very own Menswear clothing collection.

By adding quintessential British style to it’s already iconic range of children’s designer clothing, Hackett has introduced 3 key themes to this Fall/Winter line.

Mayfair takes influence directly from the menswear range with luxury fabrics, classic styles and colours. Sharp 2 button suits in charcoal or navy are teamed up with a Brompton tailored fit shirt and clubstripe tie. Wear with a cardigan and herringbone overcoat for a classic mini Mayfair look. Their fine gauge polo tops are detailed with polka dot silk or regimental stripe tie trims in the neck and placket.

Oxford Blues is inspired by the iconic Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race and comes in a colour palette based on regal red, navy, green, ivory and gold. The unstructured blazers are trimmed with contrast fabric and silk tie trims on under collars while traditional crests make an appearance on pockets and shirts. The navy wool duffle coat is updated with contrast toggles and classic cricket inspired pullovers come in blue tones.

Rally takes it’s journey into the golden era of vintage British motoring and combines Aston Martin Racing performance garments with authentic heritage inspired pieces. Tartan and checks reign supreme with tweed following closely behind. Brushed cotton tattersall check shirts can be teamed with cords or chinos while a key statement tartan jacket look best with dark denim or vintage wash jeans.

The Little Britons accessory line has grown and includes woolen snowflake hats in navy and grey, colourful webbing belts and a range of tartan ties – all of which compliment the collection nicely.

Just in time for back-to-school, a tee for little geniuses! Your little guy or gal can get a little taste of Harvard with this collegiate-inspired screen print tee. Tailgate has used an enzyme washed tee for a soft feel and made a tee for toddlers that offers a fresh, yet vintage look.

We are in love with this tee! Available in sizes ranging from 2-10, it retails for $45.00 from Lil Swanky.

Kids hoodies are big this year and with the cold months ahead they are an ideal way to keep your children looking stylish whilst keeping them warm and snug. There are various different styles and brands on the market, with just about all the major designers having released some in their latest collections. We’ve picked five of our favourites from around the web for you to check out below. Let us know what you think!

Diesel Baby Boys Hooded Zip-Up

We love the simplistic classic design of this kids hoodie by Diesel. OK, So it’s not the most practical of colours but we’re still picking it as one of our must haves!

Ed Hardy “Tiger” Sleeveless Multiprint Hoody in Grey

Despite the lack of sleeves this could work well for layering with long sleeved tops and would go perfectly with some distressed jeans!

Ed Hardy Zip Up All Over Print Hoody in Khaki

Another Ed Hardy hoodie for you, but this one has much more bold, striking colours and is a great ‘practical’ option whilst still being on trend and warm.

Monster Republic Grey Punk Hooded Cardigan Sweater

Boys will dig this stylish yet comfortable blazer with detachable hood almost as much as mom and dad. Perfect for cool fall days and winter layering with jeans or twill pants.

Timberland Blue Reversible Stripe Hoodie

* Timberland reversible stripe hoody
* machine washable
* cotton blend

Timberland presents the revolutionary reversible stripe hoody. This versatile hoody creates two looks with its innovative reversible design. Featuring elasticated cuffs and waist band. This zip through hoody is finished in a super soft cotton blend that lends itself naturally to exceptional comfort and fit. Opt for the off duty look and layer this cool hoody over tees and jeans for effortless playdate chic.

Not only is the famed Appaman Puffy Coat back for yet another season, but Appaman has introduced yet another jacket that is sure to be a huge hit for Autumn – the Motorcycle Jacket.

The black, cream and army green stripes add a casual look to this hip and cool jacket and we are loving the cute Appaman monkey zip!

Available in sizes from 2T-6T, the jacket retails for $86.95 and can be purchased from Tutti Bella.

This exotic dress from Cavalli’s latest collection (as part of his Angels, Devils & Sweethearts line), has a real catwalk-inspired feel to it. Featuring a rich chocolate brown with velvet trims, the dress is patterned in a natural butterfly wing print of purple, green and golden tones on a chiffon overlay. This dress fastens with a zip back and a logo button.

The dress was recently released in sizes 4, 6 and 8, however sold out quickly. The only size available is the 6T and it retails for £308.00.

It seems like we’re being attracted to all things nature related this week, after recent posts about Fairy Houses it must have gotten us in the magical spirit! We’ve spotted these adorable Fairy Bug costumes from Frilly Lily and think they would make perfect outfits for either playing dress up or possibly Halloween costumes for the younger kids who want something a little less scary and a little more fluffy and cute!

They come in a variety of sizes and the designs range from the strikingly beautiful bright red ladybug outfit to an aqua blue dragonfly and a colourful dazzling butterfly. My personal favourite has to be a stripey yellow and black buzzy bee costume though. Adorable!

Some of the costumes have matching antenna that you can purchase to wear with them including the dragonfly and the ladybug and there’s also a super cute butterfly masquerade style mask and much more!

A very cute site that will keep lovers of fairies everywhere entertained for hours of browsing!

Italian designer Monnalisa, celebrates the iconic Flintstones with a dress from their latest collection this season. Featuring a leopard print, silver sequins and boulder-like colours, the grey dress has a Pebbles and Bam Bam print decked in sequins and glitter and a hem sparkling with yet more sequins and velvet bows.
