With this chilly weather upon us it has made me think how cute and cosy my little baby boy would be tights. Hubby thinks it is just me trying to get in on tights act as I am a mother of two boys. But i think tights can be for baby boys too?? Or am I just forcing my poor little boy to live out my dreams of babies in tights?

My son came home from nursery one day, having made a mess of his clothes, waering navy blue tights and long khaki shorts. I thought he looked great!

One day he did come home with hair clips - I think a message to me to cut his hair...

He has also worn pink t-shirts etc

In Scandinavia we wouldn't even dream of sending our kids, boys or girls, out in in cold without tights for girls and little long johns for boys! As duchessofdulwich said, little boys do wear tights but mostly as little babies as we have long johns for even little baby boys in Scandinavia, very handy as the little boys are not keen on tights but are happy to wear "big boy" underwear like daddy! So for a couple of years now I've had mine shipped from Finland :)) I've actually been wondering about this and why e.g. H&M doesn't sell them here when they sell them in everywhere in Scandinavia! Just figured that maybe there was no demand but looking at this thread I'd imagine there would be?

You can get skiing base layers from Decathalon in childrens sizes,not sure what age they start at though.


New Zealand Nature on line do lovely silk tops & longjohnsfor children, maybe a UK on line company does baby sizes, though I think tights are fine for then for first couple of years.

I found them great last year when little sb was 7-10m. This year they are OUT OF THE QUESTION as there is no way on earth he will stay still for long enough for me to get them on him. And the fiddle with trousers and tights at nappy changes - unthinkable. So I've quite a few pairs of nice jersey/fleecy lined trousers and jeans and some knee socks from jojo that I'm hoping will be ok. What to do about freezing little hands and glove refusal though? And do you think it's wrong to put boys in uggs?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
