Until now, graphic tees and onesies for the small set have fallen into two camps: sickly sweet (duckies and bunnies) or obnoxious slogans (Daddy drinks because I cry).

Thanks to San Mateo’s Christine Tang, founder of the just-launched Kira, there’s a new middle ground: hipster humorous.

Inspired by her nephew’s boundless imagination, Tang creates tops and caps with a sly sense of funny. Riffing on wee ones’ penchant for dressing up, she’s produced the Master of Disguise box set, which includes a onesie emblazoned with a mustache and another sporting a bow tie. Other graphics include a T. rex with a top hat, librarian-style eyeglasses, and a pineapple wearing sunglasses.

No matter which you choose, one thing is certain: The irony is not lost on them.
