2. Are Alternative Styles Comfortable for My Baby?
Our clothing is made with natural fabrics such as organic or oeko-tex certified cotton/elastane, hemp and bamboo, making them soft and comfortable for your little one's skin. Like many brands that specialise alternative looks, we design our items with the environment in mind, meaning they are free from toxins and chemicals that can irritate your baby's delicate skin. We also use natural dyes to colour fabrics, ensuring that the fabric is not treated with harsh, synthetic dyes.
Not only are Lottie & Lysh clothes good for the planet, but they are also practical too. Many of these items are made with extra room to grow, meaning that your baby can wear them for longer and get more out of them. Plus, they often come with unique and fun designs, making them a great way to add a bit of colour to your baby's wardrobe.
3. Are Alt Baby Clothes Safe to Wear?
Our baby clothes are made from high-quality fabrics that are safe for your baby’s delicate skin. Many alternative fashion brands are free from chemical dyes, formaldehyde, and other potentially hazardous materials, making them a great choice if you’re looking for a safe option for your little one but it does differ from brand to brand so always make sure you do your homework before purchasing. Checking out reviews on websites such as Trustpilot is a great place to start.
In addition to being safe, alt fashion always comes in a range of stylish and unique designs. Whether you’re looking for printed t shirts, funky leggings or something a little more out-there, there’s something to suit every taste. Your little one will be sure to stand out from the crowd with an alternative wardrobe!
Finally, our unique clothing is designed to be comfortable to wear and easy to care for. This makes them an ideal choice for busy parents, who don’t have time to worry about complicated washing instructions. So, if you’re looking for a fashionable and practical way to dress your little one, alternative baby clothes are worth considering.
4. How Do I Know Which Outfits Are Suitable for My Baby?
As any parent knows, finding the right clothes for your baby can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it can be difficult to decide what is best for your little one. When it comes to children's clothes, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind to ensure your child is comfortable and safe.
First and foremost, consider the climate and season. Always choose appropriate clothing for the weather and temperature. For example, if you’re expecting a chilly winter, opt for warmer garments such as a onesie with fleece lining. Conversely, if you’re expecting a hot summer, opt for more lightweight materials such as cotton.
Next, make sure you follow the size guide on the label to ensure you buy the best-fitting clothes for your baby. Not only will this help ensure your baby is comfortable, but it can also help prevent any hazards associated with loose clothing.
When it comes to materials, soft, natural fabrics are always the best for delicate skin. Additionally, make sure there are no rough edges or itchy tags.
Finally, check for loose buttons or ties that could be choking hazards. As a parent, safety should always be your number one priority.
5. Is Alt Baby Clothing Affordable?
Shopping for baby clothes can be a lot of fun, but it can also be expensive. Traditional clothing can be pricey, but there are plenty of great alternatives that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost. Shopping online is often a great way to find affordable alternative baby fashion. You can often find great deals and discounts from independent brands such as Lottie & Lysh. You can save 15% on your order when you sign up to our newsletter, plus bag yourself free shipping on orders over £100.
Thrift stores can also be a great way to find unique and affordable children's clothes. You can often find second-hand or pre-loved items for a fraction of the cost of buying new. It’s also a great way to support local businesses, as many thrift stores are run by charities or small independent retailers. Plus, you can often find some really different and interesting pieces that you wouldn’t find elsewhere. The Lottie & Lysh Facebook Members Group is a great place to grab yourself a pre-loved bargain, access discount codes and be the first to hear about upcoming sales.
