UNIQLO makes it easy to be cool for kids and you

6/9/07 - By Anna Fader
If you haven't dashed over to the trendy Japanese UNIQLO flagship store that opened last Fall in SoHo to deck yourself out in their cool Japanese threads (and, if you're anything like me, shopping for yourself seems as exotic as the idea of going out dancing, something you vaguely remember doing when you were younger), then I have some great news. UNIQLO has a great children's clothing department filled with inexpensive, delicious cotton basics and wonderfully simple, but stylish clothes for babies, boys and girls. The children's clothes remind me a little bit of H&M. Same price range and basic clothes with a bit of a twist. In this case the twist is a little more toward that classic French look the Japanese seem to be favoring for their children. For boys find gingham shirts and polos with long cargo capris. For girls peasant tunics and skinny jeans. The baby girl clothes were too cute. I couldn't even look at them or I would have had to buy the whole line...and I don't even have a baby. But, no one should leave without some of the sumptuously soft PJs.

UNIQLO recently opened up an all-kids store on the Upper West Side (Broadway and 80th). But, frankly, I'm much more excited about the one downtown where there are much fewer choices for inexpensive, fashionable children's clothing and where I can grab a couple of things for myself while I'm there. Worth noting, the store is very stroller friendly with nice wide aisles and an elevator to the other floors. And, right now all kids clothing is on sale for 20% off.
