Summer is the beginning of the German Festival Season! While dressing ” German ” is not mandatory, it can be a lot of fun. And is there ANYTHING so cute as a sweet little girl in a Dirndl? Or a toddler in his Lederhosen? But where can you find traditional German clothes for children or babies and toddlers? And do you have to break the bank to outfit your child?
Traditional German Clothing for Children- Dirndls and Lederhosen
The best thing about this traditional German clothing for children is that it is timeless and wears well. This means those adorable Lederhosen you buy will not only survive your son, but when he outgrows them, they can be passed along to brothers, cousins, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Lederhosen never really wear out…seriously… has anyone EVER had to discard Lederhosen?). And a cute Dirndl? Not only is it a sweet festival outfit, but your daughter can wear it to other dressy occasions, and then it can be handed down to another child.
Don’t want to go all out? There are more styles of German clothes for kids. You can find cute shirts, Onesies, hats, skirts, and shorts for your little ones. I found some adorable clothes for little ones to get their Deutsch on!

I just love German baby clothes of all kinds! The sizing -by height rather than age makes more sense, and the clothes fit better longer. So süß!
