Kids' Clothes So Cool You'll Want Them for Yourself

By Sarah Moroz and Xiyin Tang

Up until a few years ago, kids' clothes were no foray into high fashion. That is, until mass hysteria for cute, powerful well-dressed celebrity babies with strange names took hold, and haute designers like Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim, and Dior started downsizing, kiddie style. Now for about a mere third of the price you'd pay for your full-sized Lim trench, you can get a miniature version for tots, which will undoubtedly make them the coolest kid on the monkey-bars. And if 80 bucks for a Baby Dior onesie seems an unnecessary luxury in hard times, we've also come up with some more budget-friendly options that don't skim on style.
