WHERE TO BUY KIDS CLOTHES ONLINE
1. Pocketpig Diary: love local
This Singapore-based online shop stocks some seriously cute outfits for kids. Whether you’re looking for unisex bunny-eared rompers, shirts with tattoo sleeves or cheongsams and mandarin collars for a special occasion, Pocketpig Diary has it all. You can even get matching outfits for the entire family for that all-important family day out, or just a mum-and-daughter twinning set for girly bonding sessions. Got a little superhero or wannabe princess on your hands? The partywear range is AMAZING.
Free shipping? Yes, for orders SG$50 and above, SG$4 for anything below.
Returns policy: Returns are accepted within 15 days after purchase.
2. Seed Heritage – oh-so cute
Seed Heritage is a favourite of ours, especially its newborn range – all those too-adorable-for-words offerings make ideal baby gifts for any pregnant mates. Little girls will love the zealous use of sequins in the collections, while boys will love the quirky prints and fun detailing (like horns and ears on hoods!).
Free delivery? Yes, if you spend over AU$250. Otherwise it’s $20 and takes 4 to 10 business days.
Returns policy: It’s not overly clear: contact Customer Service with your return request, who will then review and advise as to how they can best make things right for you.
3. Coco and Ginger – fun, folksy prints
Named after founder Saffron Pugh-Blaby’s own daughters, Coco and Ginger’s pieces hero colour, Balinese folk art and artistic traditions. Think: ethically produced embroidered playsuits, screen-printed and hand-stitched dresses, tropical-hued jumpsuits and more. We can’t get enough! Working with a small collective of Balinese women, the brand produces unique pieces with beautiful craftsmanship – and the inevitable variations are to be celebrated. “It’s those imperfections that make life and art interesting,” Saffron says. “I hope people see each piece of my collection as a small work of art.”
Free shipping? Yes, for orders over AU$200. International orders are subject to import fees, duty, taxes and/or brokerage fees.
Return policy: Exchange is offered for incorrect or defective items only
4. Boden – stylish threads for all ages
Based in the UK, Boden has classic, stylish and age-appropriate prints with some awesome themed collections (Harry Potter PJs, anyone?). Designed for kids up to 16 years old, there’s something here for every season – from brightly-coloured sundresses for some fun in the sun to knitted cardigans to keep cosy on a rainy day. All pieces are machine washable and there’s even an impressive range of beach footwear.
Free shipping? Yes, you get free standard shopping (8–10 days) if you spend more than $175 (it’s $20 for orders under that amount). An express courier can deliver with 3–4 business days for an extra charge.
5. Uniqlo – basic but brilliant
Japanese store Uniqlo is top on our list when it comes to basics and loungewear. You’ll be able to pick up some seriously comfy skirts and trousers – great for Singapore’s warm weather. And don’t get us started on its UT collection. We can’t get enough of the cool T-shirts and seasonal collaborations with franchises like Disney, Marvel, anime and all your favourite Sanrio characters!
Free shipping? Yes, for orders over SG$60.
Returns policy: Return within 30 days.
6. June & January – bright and bold
June & January is all about fun, bright colours and bold patterns. From mini-skirts and joggers to adorable tops and swing dresses, these clothes suit all kids up to six years old. It’s award-winning, too!

Returns policy: Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days, but you’ll have to pay for shipping.

If you’re hoping to head off to cooler climates as soon as the travel industry gets back to normal, then Misha and Puff is the place to go for knitwear. Each piece is hand-knitted in Peru using merino wool (you’ll even find the name of the knitter on each item’s hang tag). You’ll be able to shop up a storm with all those snuggly jumpers, pullovers, jackets and dresses, along with comfy leggings and knitted bloomers.

11. The Elly Store – colourful, bright prints
Although we usually love popping over to their Cluny Court store, we’re fans of the convenience of shopping for cute kids clothes from The Elly Store online too! If colour and bright prints are you and your kids’ thing, The Elly Store has a great selection for both boys and girls. We love the shoe selection too, especially for the eco-friendly Native slip-on sneaks and gender-neutral salt water sandals.
