Be Inspired | Baby’s First Birthday Outfits
A whole year of milestones and memories has led to this day: your little one’s first birthday is here after what feels like forever and a single second all at once. While some may celebrate in a big way, others may choose to make it a more intimate affair with their nearest and dearest. Either way, it’s sure to be a day for the photo album.
While your baby won’t remember their first birthday or the clothes they wore, they’ll certainly cherish the memories as they grow up. Their mini outfits can even become loved heirlooms to be handed down through the generations. So, to help you plan for the event — minus the cake and the entertainment — we’ve hand picked some of our favourite tiny looks to mark this most special of occasions.

A Touch of Tradition
Adorable buster suits and hand-smocked details: these outfits are made to be cherished now and forever.
Made to Love
When it comes to choosing a first birthday outfit that will stand the test of time, it’s all about the details. Beautiful hand-smocked panels, embroidered decoration, statement buttons and bows are sure to steal hearts. For baby girls, Beatrice & George’s frock has short puff sleeves and adorable flower embroidery. And it even comes with matching bloomers made with super-soft material for all-day comfort. For little boys, a buster suit, like this one from Rachel Riley with its decorative contrast piping, will look smart and stay in place thanks to the handy fastenings. You can easily style it for cooler weather too by adding some sweet knee-high socks and snuggly knitwear. Queue the coos!
