With the Duchess of Cambridge debuting several gorgeous pregnancy looks the past few days (and just the slightest baby bump), we were filled with sartorial inspiration (for those interested in Kate's classic style, we love What Would Kate Do? and the Duchess Kate Blog, amongst others). Today we are doing a fall round up of the brands made famous by our favorite, mini sartorialist. The seasonal collections are timeless and seriously swoonworthy – we’re talking luxe cold-weather fabrics like knits, velvet, and corduroy, cozy colors in navies and reds, and fun details including smocking, tartan, and bows! Read below for some looks we could see Prince George wearing.
Trotters Childrenswear & Accessories focuses on outerwear this season. With snoodies, gloves, and hats in cable knits and faux fur, those precious little ears and and hands will stay snug and warm! We are particular fans of the pom poms topping the caps for little girls!
In addition to the adorable, gender neutral Baby Classic Coat (available in a variety of colors with the most gorgeous and refined back pleating), Trotters launched their, “Rain, Rain Go Away!” fall campaign to introduce their Petit Breton Heritage Rainwear. The jackets boast functionality with an incorporated hood, ribbed cuffs, machine washable yet durable fabric that’s waterproof on the outside and soft jersey on the inside, and ventilated underarms. They come in gorgeous, bright colors – a classic navy, eye-catching red, and vibrant yellow. Sizes run from 1-9 years. Be sure to pick up matching wellington boots to keep your little one’s feet dry. The Igor galoshes match the jackets perfectly, but we’re also a fan of the classic Hunters (Mommy and Me coordination, anyone?). With the jackets running at £39.99 (about $65) and the wellingtons beginning at £21.99 (about $35), you won’t be breaking the bank on at Trotters, and everything is perfectly adorable and functional!
Also, check out the London Bus Caridgan as an option for layering or on warmer winter days. This handsome, ivory wool-mix cardi features the iconic, double decker busses of London. This is a fabulous Repli-George piece for those still drooling over his unidentified ivory cardigan with guards seen on the Royal Tour.
Rachel Riley’s fall line for baby boys exhibits a selection of long sleeved button down shirts in cold weather appropriate patterns with corduroys. These run anywhere from $59-$119. We think George would look particularly handsome in this Tartan shirt and these navy, corduroy dungarees. If you have multiple princes and princesses, be sure to check out the adorable, coordinating Tartan dress and bloomers for baby girls! The dresses would look fabulous layered with a warm, navy cardigan or tights. Umm, does it come in adult? PGP will take two!
Depending on where you live, you might be gearing up for snow already (Lauren is!). If that’s the case, look no further than Petit Bateau, which carries a down snowsuit in some fabulously bright colorblocking style (inspired by Kate Middleton’s Roksanda Ilincic Dress, perhaps? ) perfect for petite princes and princesses. This is definitely worth the $319 investment for the precious memories you’ll make romping in the snow together; take a cue from Kate who frequently invests in staple, practical pieces.
You might have to take a seat before looking at the Neck and Neck Fall Winter 14 catalogue. We have to forewarn you – these pages are filled with adorable, classic goodness! The boys sport plenty of knee socks and Bermuda shorts while the girls look perfectly delightful in smocking and opaque tights. Swoon! PGP is quite officially obsessed with smocking! The color palate features stunning oxblood (we love the combination of a trendy color on classic silhouettes), pale blue gray, “olive green” (it looks more like teal to us), and classic holiday red.
Baby Gap is continually cycling through an enormous selection of new, quality pieces – this is seriously one stop shopping! This season, their rural inspired line, “Country Cool” would be a perfect fit for George’s countryside lodgings – Anmer Hall in Norfolk. Gap also has the very soft and cuddly, “Winter Pastel” line. Get your credit cards ready – not only are these all reasonably priced, but Gap is also currently running a sale for 25% off your online purchase (use code “HAPPY”) and free shipping on all orders over $50!
Désirée von Hohenlohe and Thibault d´Ursel at Les Petites Abeilles have perfected classic children’s styling. The garments feature peter pan collars, smocking, and bows – combine all of these into one outfit, and we are in love. George can continue to wear his favorite nautical inspired looks thanks to Le Petites Abeilles’ selection of blue sweaters, but the real show stopper here is the elegant, green velvet coat for a princess.
We’ll just say, we certainly wouldn’t mind spending hours looking at baby girl’s fashion if Royal Baby 2.0 is a little girl, especially if designers like Ms. Von Hohenlohe are styling her!
Wrapping up our fall fashion feature is The Little White Company. Keep those piggies warm in their soft booties, or satisfy your cute cravings with bunnies or penguins. The goodness doesn't stop with the accessories - there are so many sweet cardigans and jumpers to choose from. For little boys, we love the Stripe Back Cardigan, and for little girls, the Fairisle Cardigan is a stunning take on a classic.
