Bloomers

These are the Celia bloomers, named for their gentle all-over print. It's the kind of pattern that feels calm rather than busy, so it pairs easily with the plain tops and tees already in the drawer.

Bloomers earn their keep in the everyday. Slip them over a diaper on warm afternoons, or tuck them under a dress so crawling and playtime stay covered. The pull-on shape means quick changes without a struggle, and the low-key print hides the small messes that come with real baby days.

• Celia print, soft and understated
• Easy to mix with the rest of the closet
• A simple layer for home, park, or nap

A quiet little staple that does more than it lets on.

Pairs well with The Woven Bloomer - Mist Stripe, The Woven Bloomer - Rose Stripe, and The Woven Bloomer - Seashell.

These little shorts come in slate, a soft muted grey that settles into just about any outfit without competing for attention. It's the kind of neutral you reach for on repeat.
