Pout, Pout, Let It All Out

Pout Kids’ Clothing

Before they even learn to talk, they figure out how to get what they want.

The twisted-face-can’t-catch-her-breath-hiccup-sob, the gut-wrenching lip tremble, and, of course, the pout.

Turn that frown upside down with Pout, a playful new clothing line (for sizes 6 months to 5 years) from Dallas-based sisters Molly Holley and Jennifer Paradise. Pairing vintage-inspired fabrics with cotton-Lycra blends, the pieces hold shape even when kiddos are thrashing about in tantrum mode.

For the littlest of ladies, monogrammed onesies with oodles of ruffles on the bum; for the more grown-up gals, tulip pants and shirts with poet sleeves. Tunic dresses can be worn as tops once they’ve outgrown the frock. And little guys look positively angelic in monogrammed camo tees.

A far cry from where they started.
