Where do you go for unisex baby clothes?

I find that Target is the best place to get unisex baby gear. Lots of green and yellow options. Gap has some snazzy brown and gray options, too. I went with primary colors when shopping for friend's babies. Red, blue, black, white...all those are unisex in my book.

I love Carter's clothes- they are cute without being cloying and they are such a good value. I am about to have my 2nd child (another boy) and all of the clothes from my 1st child are still in great condition and timeless. They have a lot of great unisex clothing- I knew the sex of my first child but I was paranoid that the ultrasound would be wrong (even though it was extremely obvious he was a boy) so I bought a lot of yellow and green things.

I personally don't believe that "unisex" baby clothes really exist with the exception of things that are white. I think that the green and yellow unisex things are really more boy looking! I wouldn't put a newborn baby girl in a yellow romper with giraffes on it - but for a boy? Sure! The under the sea outfit you picked is adorable, but more for a baby boy in my opinion. If it were me, I'd probably just gift some basics - white onesies, baby bath towels, and maybe a baby toy. I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and I'm just dying to find out what we're having. I don't know how people can stand to "be surprised!" In a way, I admire their patience!

I second the Carter's, very cute unisex. Wal-mart actually carries a cheaper Carter's line with adorable unisex options. If you don't mind the price tag, Janie & Jack (owned by Gymboree, but more expensive) has a layette line that is swoon-worthy.

I hate the selection too- and it just gets worse as they age. Old Gymboree clothes were more unisex, and I still find them in resale shops, but my boys usually wear solids and stripes.

I second the first poster -- check out Target! We chose not to find out the sex of our baby, and we made out great through their registry and in the stores. They had a good variety of white, green, and yellow things that are very cute and affordable. Good luck!

"No pink, no blue, no trucks, no dolls."

My son hashow n both trucks and dolls, and cuddly toys/blankies etc in both pink and blue. Were he a girl he would own exactly the same things he does now.

A newborn baby doesn't know there is a physical difference between men and women, let alone that those differences mean that he/she will be expected to act in a certain way based solely on how many X chromosomes they have. Why put them in gender boxes so early?

We decided not fo find out the sex of our first child and so we got a LOT of green and yellow onsies from Target and Babies R Us. But it doesn't have to be green and yellow, check out the links below...

Try Zutano stuff if you haven't already. Very cute-- unusual and fun, not typical baby colors. I am not sure where specifically to buy it in stores, but they have a web site.

I also love Carter's (or their Walmart or Target lines) for unisex clothes, especially the Duckies line, which is very heavy on the yellow, and the Little Bugs line, which is yellow and green primarily. Both are adorable for boys or girls.

American Apparel. We didn't know what we were having when our 4-year-old was born so we got a bunch of browns, whites, black, and grey's from there.

I have to say Target was the best place we found gender neutral clothing. I have a boy, my friend is having a girl, and I gave her lots of Ryan's old clothes (I tear up thinking how he used to wear premie and newborn clothes) that work great for a boy or girl. Lots of our stuff was handed down, but most of it was Target or Carter's. The colors we have mainly besides blue are : red, yellow, green, white and brown.

Oh Anji.....
What an exhausting can of worms to open. Do you live in Berkeley, CA? Just wondering.

We didn't find out the gender of our first (now nearly 5 months old), but I got a lot of Carter's stuff for shower gifts - lots of greens, whites, yellows and primary colors. Since the birth all she has is pink - we must have received more then 25 pink outfits as birth gifts!
I also have a ton of hand-me-downs from my sister who has a girl and a boy and I must say, I prefer a lot of the "boy" clothes. There is a primary colored striped turtleneck onsie and red fleace pants that I bought for my nephew that has been handed down that I love on her. One of my other favs is an orange and white striped romper I got from a Gap outlet. All ahe pink can get a little neauseating after awhile and these other colors are a nice break. I also love her in bold blues (think french blue) and white.
BTW - I love that "Stripe Crab One-Piece" you got...I might have to go shopping...!

I really love the basic baby clothes they have at Target. I found some really easy mix & match pieces that I really love! You can go online to http://www.sandboxcouture.com. They have a lot to choose from.

I had no clue what my baby was going to be and so I did the Sage Creek Naturals thing (organic cotton too!) www.sagecreeknaturals.com

Oh Imt, what an exhausting can of worms YOU opened, by insisting that somehow yellow with a giraffe is unfit for girls to wear. Goodness me.

To this day I find it hard to wear pink..partly just because it pisses me off so much that my gender is supposed to wear it. Why would I saddle my daughter with the restrictive idea that all she can wear is "girly" stuff?? It's hard to dress kids all that far outside what society considers acceptable, but at least we can try not to be slaves to the "sports for boys, princess for girls" on so much kids' clothes these days.

don't get me started..this topic drives me nuts :)

Great resource that we featured on Cool Mom Picks recently: New for Baby. They do wonderful layettes and the green in particular is a great gender-neutral option for newborns.
