The baby kimono is a stylish and practical garment for infants and toddlers, with a unisex design and options for one or two-piece outfits. They are available for purchase or can be easily made at home.

For people who adore Asian style design or those who simply want their baby to stand out in the playpen, the fashion world has introduced the baby kimono. This simple one or two-piece can welcome a child into the global community from birth, while keeping them snug as a bug and quite adorable. A baby kimono is a children’s garment that features a wrapped front design, similar to those seen on traditional kimonos.

While getting a baby kimono for a baby who can barely roll over, let alone hold a chopstick, might seem a little silly, these outfits are utilitarian pieces that can hold up to some serious drooling. With a side tie or button, a baby kimono can add a little style to a little one’s wardrobe. An important feature of the baby kimono is its unisex design; Boys and girls can be equally adorable in the outfit, making them a great secondhand item for babies-to-be.

An infant-style baby kimono features a side button or tie, and usually comes as a one-piece outfit that easily buttons over a diaper. Some children’s kimonos can also be found in smock styles that cover the legs and feet, helping to keep the baby warm. The wraparound design also offers additional warmth as it covers the chest area with a second layer of fabric. Both smocks and one-pieces can be found with long or short sleeves, and usually come in baby-safe fabrics like cotton.

To help the slightly older child escape his childish fashion mistakes, consider the two-piece baby kimono, usually offered as a shirt and pants. Once the diaper stage is in the past, toddlers can still have the comfort and style of a baby kimono with the big-kid benefit of drawstring or button-down pants. Kimonos for older children make excellent pajamas and loungewear, as they are comfortable and often made of soft, easily washable fabrics.

While baby kimono can be purchased at children’s clothing stores or online, they are also quite easy to make. Free and pay-per-download patterns are available online for easy to sew or knit versions of this trendy garment. By choosing fabric, buttons, and notions, it’s easy to make a personalized and personal gift for a little one. A carefully made baby kimono could last a lifetime and even survive to be passed on to the next generation as an heirloom.
