Baby Chav or Baby Chic ?

Posted in: Baby Clothing

Secret Santa bought me a crisp grey v-neck for Christmas from Topshop. It was the perfect fit and for the first few days of the new year I felt smart and fresh again walking around the office. Now, barely two weeks into 2008, sagging and peppered with baubles, it will be seeing the bin before facing the washing machine.

Us brits have a slipping standards when it comes to style. With our massively discounted supermarket clothes, ill fitting suits, baggy t-shirts and trainer ‘fashions’ the rest of Europe have us thoroughly sussed. French women are famous for their effortless style, Spanish familes dress better for a sunday promenade than Brits at a wedding, and Italian men spend more on their shoes than we do on our Man U strips. When I lived in Africa I was amazed at the care and attention paid to appearences - even those without money knew how to make themselves feel good.

So where are we going wrong! From the very start perhaps? Do you think you have style when it comes to dressing your kids? Ever wonder how what they wear will influence how they turn out?
