The perfect christening outfit for little guests

A christening is one of those days when you want the little ones to look extra lovely – without giving up the fact that they need to play, eat and fall asleep in it. Here is our take on a christening outfit for the youngest guests that is both smart and easy to wear.

What should children wear to a christening?

Think smart but soft. A pair of neat trousers in a calm colour, a simple blouse or top over it, and one fine detail like a scarf or a matching dummy clip. Natural materials like cotton breathe and don't itch – important when the day gets long.

A top that pulls the look together

A plain blouse or long-sleeve top in a muted tone suits most patterned trousers and completes the look. Choose something without tight ties or scratchy labels, so your child is comfortable throughout the ceremony.

Fine details – and free play afterwards

A scarf tied loosely around the neck or a matching dummy clip gives a considered finish. And because everything is sewn in soft cotton, your child can play on as soon as the formal part is over.
