*Edit: Now my children are getting close to double digits it’s even harder to find bright clothes, click here for an updated post for bright boys clothing brands for around the 10 year age mark.
I don’t know about other parents, but I find it really hard to find bright coloured boys clothing over the age of around 3. Most boys clothes brands seem to be boring, lack of interesting prints, colours and styles. My 4 year old also dislikes scary pictures. So the sharks and snakes with open mouths baring teeth are not really what I want to buy.
However, I have found a few colourful children’s clothes brands which are perfect for little boys.

Colourful Boys Clothes Brands
1. Fred and Noah.
A British based brand, with gorgeous bright and colourful kids clothes with cute prints, with young child friendly designs.
2. Villervalla.
A swedish brand with ultra bright clothes in mainly unisex patterns and colours.
3. Smafolk.
A Danish brand with cute bright prints. Loving this cupcake print, boys like cakes too!
4. DUNS Sweden.
Bright organic clothing from Sweden.
5. Maxomorra.
Another Swedish brand, gorgeous prints and organic cotton.
6. H&M Kids.
A budget UK high street brand, which makes some surprisingly bright colours and prints (we love some of their unique boys shoes too).
7. Frugi.
A British organic brand with colourful clothes and cute designs.
8. Jo Jo Maman Bebe.
They have a lot of unusual prints and appliques as well as quite a few bright colours for boys.
9. Tootsa Macginty.
Wow, this is one of my new favourites for the boys, cute peekaboo detailing, bright unisex clothes. What’s not to love!
10. Slugs and Snails.
I’m sure lots of boy parent’s have been annoyed at the lack of boys tights in the cool winter months. However, slugs and snails has lovely bright tights that keep boys legs just as cosy. They also make other cute clothes too.
So there we go, my favourite bright boys clothes brands that show boys clothes don’t have to be dull with silly slogans, they can have fun, bright colours too! Also, don’t forget to check out small local businesses that sew clothing to order. They are often on Facebook and Instagram and usually have fantastic fabrics to choose from. We recently ordered two cute pairs of shorts for my 6 year old from Little Auk Sewing based in the Scottish Highlands.
Do you have any others to add to my list?

Ooh lovely picks. I have a girl and although we don’t find out the sex of our next baby until next week, I was having a look at boys clothes (just in case!) and they are so uninspiring! This is very useful if I am having a boy – lots of brands I wasn’t aware of. Thanks for linking to the G+ review board xx
Jess Helicopter says
I love bright boys clothes. I hate the whole segregation of gender for little kids….reds, greens, oranges, yellows….lush on both kiddies! I lust after Slugs and Snails so much! 😀 #BrilliantBlogPosts
The Breastest News says
Great picks 🙂 I’m the same with Logan, there’s never anything exciting. Have to hunt around for nice clothes. I always find with Harlow though everything’s pink! Can’t win haha x
Cindy says
I agree it can be difficult to shop for fun outfits for boys. My son has a lot of navy blue in his closet. I’ll be checking out these brands as I start shopping for autumn. Thanks for sharing! #BrillBlogPosts

Oh I love the fox long sleeved top! I love bright clothing too, Next have a lot of fab stuff but I love finding boutiquey types on the internet and that way, not many other people have the same. Great picks! #binkylinky
twolittlemisters says
Fab post – it really can be a struggle to find bright/funky designs for boys. Blue does get boring after a while. I hadn’t heard of a few of these brands so will definitely be checking them out!
Elaine @ Entertaining Elliot says
I have shopped at H&M before for my son but not heard of some of those Swedish brands, going to check them out right now! x #binkylinky
Something Crunchy Mummy says
Loving all of these. I find finding clothes for my nearly 4 year old hard as they are so dark and I don’t like the pictures on the clothes – I find them too old #thelist xx
Adele Clarke says
I love the moose top! I’ve got a boy on the way so will definitely bookmark some of these brands for future reference. Thanks for sharing!

Jenny Eaves says
Ha ha! Yes, so do I! I love all these, so hard to choose just a couple of things to buy! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
Hope you find some nice things for your little one, the leggings will be so cute and practical in winter, good luck!
Jenny Eaves says
I completely agree, some if the pics are aimed for much older clothes. These are great options though! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
Hope you find some nice ones! A lot of the Swedish ones are available at various U.K online shops, like Barnyard Kids. 🙂 xx
Jenny Eaves says
Definitely, I love blue but it gets very boring! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
It’s cute isn’t it! I always like them having things that are a bit different if I kind find them! 🙂 x
Emily says
Great selection of clothes, love the patterns and colours. Thanks for linking up to the #BinkyLinky
Jenny Eaves says
Thank you Emily! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
Hope you find some new brighter things for autumn! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
I know it’s rubbish, whichever gender you have they get stereotyped by colours and styles! Wouldn’t it be great if all clothes were for all genders! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
Definitely, all colours for both genders! Slugs and Snails have lovely things! 🙂 x
Jenny Eaves says
Yes, you do need to look a bit harder for boys clothes, but there are some gorgeous things around! 🙂 x
Tracy Munoz says
I have two girls and a business making girls clothing and none of them are girly stereotyped or pink! You have chosen some lovely brands and there is a real lack of bright colours for children in general, Scandinavians do it really well. #PicknMix
Jenny Eaves says
That’s fab! If I had girls I would probably have a hard time finding things that weren’t too girly, welll done on creating a business around it! x
Sabrina (The Mummy Stylist) says
Ahhh I am totally with you on this. I’m always annoyed at the UK High Street stores for their younger boys clothes – so grungy and grey, full of angry dinosaurs and sharks – no thanks! You’ve chosen some really different brands here – I never thought to look at Swedish brands. My fave is your choice no.5 – really cute print. A lot of our bright clothes are from H&M and Debenhams. #Picknmix Sabrina xx
Jenny Eaves says
Thanks Sabrina! I knew mums of boys would understand! I think the problem is that they try to make the clothes span too large an age range in high street shops and aim them to older kids, so little ones have to end out with the scary sharks! Debenhams have some nice things too, been a while since I visited though! 🙂 x
A Cornish Mum says
Oh these are all so cute!! I miss little people clothes, my 11 year old now wears jumpers that I can steal off him when I get cold 😉 eek it goes so fast! Thanks for linking up to #PicknMix

Jenny Eaves says
Ha ha! Oh no, that happens at 11, I thought they would still be smallish then?! 🙂 x
Hannah Parker says
Oh gosh, I knew I shouldn’t have come here – I love them all and it’s going to get expensive!! thanks so much for putting together such a lovely list, I never really know where to look and end up grabbing bits in Sainburys! I’d much rather put a bit of thought into and get some really lovely things that will last all season 🙂 Thanks for linking up to #TheList
Jenny Eaves says
Hee hee! Sorry Hannah! I know they are some gorgeous designs when you look for them. I’m trying to decide what to buy for Christmas! 🙂 x
Min says
Love these. I’m always looking for bright and interesting boys’ clothes. Not sure how old they go up to, but I really like Jools Oliver’s collection for Mothercare too.
Jenny Eaves says
Oh yes, we love The Little Bird collection too, my littlest has a few items from there. 🙂 x
Emma says
Beautiful round up! We’re (Gecko Clothing) not a boys brand, we’re unisex, but our mission is to create fun and colourful clothes for little ones. The very reason we got started was from the sheer frustration at the lack of fun colours and prints for boys. It’s gets even worse when they’re in 3+ clothes! We are a very young brand, but hoping to build on our lines this year! Would love to know what you think of our designs: http://www.geckoclothing.com/kids-26
