Baby Girls' Tops: Lap-Shoulder & Kimono

On a baby, a "top" is the upper-body layer that goes over a bodysuit or under a cardigan, so the neckline does the work. Lap-shoulder (envelope) tees overlap at the shoulders and stretch wide, so the top slides over the head instead of jamming past a tight collar. Kimono tops skip the head entirely: they open down the front and tie at the side, the easiest style on a newborn. Snap-shoulder long-sleeves undo at one shoulder for the same reason. Watch where the name sits, too. Embroidery and DTG prints belong on the chest or a sleeve, never on a seam a baby lies against. Sleeveless and short-sleeve tops layer under pinafores in summer; ruffle and waffle-knit long-sleeves carry fall and winter babies on their own. Budgets run about $14-$26 for a printed tee, $24-$44 for a kimono top or ruffle long-sleeve, and $30-$55 for a waffle or pointelle knit pullover. In-stock prints ship in 3-7 business days; embroidered names run 1-3 weeks.
