Choosing a new outfit for your baby or little girl seems simple, until you have to choose between different sizes, fabrics and styles. A Chicco T-shirt, for example, may be comfortable for everyday wear, while you might choose a Chicco pyjama mainly for its fit and ease of care. Chicco girls’ clothing also comes in sizes ranging from tiny baby sizes to girls’ sizes 62 to 152.
Product photos don’t tell you everything. Pay particular attention to the fabric composition, size information and intended use of the garment. This can help you avoid an outfit that no longer fits well after a few washes or ends up unworn at the back of the wardrobe.
Age guidance is just that: a guide. Size 068, for example, is linked to around 9 months, but children don’t all grow at the same rate. Check the height in centimetres too, and compare it with the clothes your child wears now.
“Soft” in a product description doesn’t tell you how much cotton the garment actually contains. A cotton children’s garment may be made from 100% cotton, or from a blend with polyester or elastane. Both can be practical, depending on how you plan to use it.
Always check:
A Chicco clothing set is convenient, but check that both the T-shirt and the trousers or shorts will work for you. A set with a cotton T-shirt and shorts, for example, is a good choice for warmer days. For nursery or school, a combination with longer sleeves may be more practical.
For many styles, Chicco uses a size number that corresponds to the child’s height. Here are a few examples from the range:
Age guidance can help you narrow down your options, but height is more useful when comparing sizes. If you’re unsure, measure your child’s height and chest, then check the size guide on the product page.
The Chicco baby and children’s clothing in the range includes a variety of fabric blends. A shirt or baby bodysuit with 95% cotton and 5% elastane will usually have some stretch, helping it fit comfortably. A two-piece set made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester may have a different feel and require different care.
Some styles are also made from 100% cotton, such as a Chicco clothing set in light orange. This makes the fabric composition clear, but you should still follow the care label for washing temperature, drying and ironing. According to the product information, the country of manufacture varies by style. On its own, this doesn’t tell you anything about the fit or care requirements, so check the product specifications for those details.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
Wash new clothes according to the care label, and sort light and dark colours. For styles containing elastane, it’s best to follow the recommended temperature and drying method. The products listed have different care instructions, so always check the information on the garment’s label.
Also check:
It depends on your baby’s height. The product information links size 062 to around 6 months and size 068 to around 9 months. Measure your baby and compare the result with the size guide rather than relying on age alone.
The styles mentioned are designed for everyday wear, but the right washing temperature and drying method vary by product. Always follow the care label. A cotton blend with elastane, for example, needs different care from a 100% cotton style.
Start by checking your child’s height in centimetres, then consider the style. For babies, a Chicco baby bodysuit and soft base layers are practical choices. For older girls, a T-shirt, skirt, tank top set or two-piece outfit may be better suited to school, play and the season. Check the fabric composition and fastenings too, so you end up with something that’s not only lovely but practical.
