Skinny jeans for babies. What's next?
I was browsing through Parenting magazine today when I noticed a babyGap ad featuring skinny jeans.
And as timing would have it, The Wall Street Journal has written about retailers introducing the fashion trend for the smallest consumers. The headline is hilarious: "Do These Jeans Make My Diaper Look Big?"
Skinny jeans are form-fitting, skim through the thighs and knees and even more so through the calves and ankles. As you could imagine, not everyone -- I'm talking adults here -- could pull off this look.
Besides Gap, which is selling skinny jeans for babies as small as zero to three months old, the WSJ notes American Eagle Outfitters' 77Kids and Little 77 Divisions to Levi's are getting into the mix.
I have to admit that the skinny jeans looked super cute on the girl Gap model, who's three years old. I'm not sure if it would look as equally cute on boys, though.
Obviously, the demand is there as parents are picking up the look for their kids. And as Mark Breitbard, executive vice president of GapKids and babyGap, told the WSJ:
"People tend to put their kids first. They'll pass on something for themselves to make sure their kids are still looked after."
Is it too much for you? Would you or have you bought skinny jeans for your baby or toddler?

Is it just me or is this idea just dumb? I think it is adorable for babies to wear grown up clothes but skinny jeans is just ridiculous. Why would anyone want to drop hundreds of dollars on clothes that your kid will outgrow in a few months?

I honestly do not think that babies should be wearing skinny jeans! Even though parents want to have their kids look fashionable this is not reasonable!
