My little boy just turned two and it’s hard to believe how much he has changed over the past year. At his first birthday party he was just a little sprout, still unsure of walking and using various pitches of crying as his main form of communication.
This year though, he was running around, giggling, blowing bubbles, and using real words to ask for what he needed (“open” and “juice” are at the top of that list).
When picking out an outfit befitting this special occasion, I knew I wanted clothes that would allow him to run and play without being overly warm or uncomfortable, so when I stumbled across these adorable denim shorts with suspenders from H&M, I knew they would fit the bill perfectly.
Luckily, Thomas was not at all concerned about the suspenders and didn’t touch them or try to take them off the entire day! I also picked up this sweet little white shirt, which surprisingly didn’t wrinkle after washing (another win, since I hate ironing). It came with a bow tie, but I decided not to push my luck that day. Shoes and socks were also from H&M and I must say these are the best fitting socks we’ve ever had for his chubby little feet.
Let’s face it, ordering clothes online is tricky when it comes to sizing and H&M isn’t helping by not listing reviews on their site. But, I did a quick search and found a few threads suggesting that H&M’s toddler clothes tend to run big. So I took a chance and sized down.
To my relief the clothes fit perfectly and there was no last minute frenzied re-order. For reference, my tot usually wears a size 4T in pajamas and pants but can still fit into a 3T in shirts. I ordered a size 2-3 in the H&M shorts and white shirt.
The shoes fit true to size, which is a size 9 for him and we got a size 8-9.5 in the socks.
I will absolutely be shopping there more often for this little boy’s clothes. The quality and cut are outstanding, which is rare for kid’s clothes, and the prices aren’t too bad. In fact, their sale items are downright cheap!
