How Swede It Is

Tuss Clothing

In the battle for simplicity, form, and function when it comes to clothing your tot:

Sweden: 3,290
You: 0 (discounting your vow to raise Junior in a nudist colony)

And the Swedes have scored again with Tuss, a stunning, no-frills Stockholm label for the preternaturally design-savvy set.

The small-scale production line wins big points for modern twists on classic shapes and minimalist colors (black, white, beige, gray) with nary a smart-alecky comment or attention-hogging pattern in sight.

Pint-size Henleys, T-shirts, long johns, and hooded cardigans are made for effortless layering. Cotton bloomers, karate pants, and knickers are a home run when temperatures soar. Little ladies are quick to adopt a uniform of shift dresses, ruched-neck blouses, and adorable cotton halters, while neat and tidy collarless shirts are ideal for gents-in-training.

Don’t worry about the points. You’re totally scoring in the style department.
