3 Reasons Behind The Popularity Of Funky Baby Clothes in UK

A little while ago I was doing some research about where funky baby clothes are bought the most. And you know the cool thing I discovered? UK tops the list followed weakly by Australia and Canada... USA is a distant fourth. What makes funky baby clothes UK's favorite?

Now I must confess I have not done heaps of research on the origins of punk, rock and other such music but it is true that a lot of funky toddler clothes have messages inspired from such sources. What I can conjecture is that the bands of UK have always given the world a model to follow and perhaps the 'impressionable minds' of the 70s are the ones who head the manufacturing and design of baby clothes today. It thus stands to reason that UK would be making the most funky baby clothes and therefore also has a large consumer base - of parents who resonate with the idea.

The second thing that comes to mind is the subtle and laconic sense of humor that the people of UK are famous for. This kind of humor lends itself easily to one-liners which look cool on baby clothes. I remember this funky romper that said, 'diaper downloading, please wait'. Now that's very British if you ask me. An American might have said, 'the shit's hit the roof' or something. So if funky baby clothes agree with UK's sense of humor, again it makes sense that UK be host to the largest number of buyers.

And third... not to drag a point but just to think aloud... UK has always been a style conscious country. And when it comes to style you catch them young! Cool characters (often American cartoons look seriously funky across the Atlantic), strange graphics, jovial punchlines and punchy cuts... they all make one cool party for toddlers' dresses. And that's a party the Brits are always inviting themselves to!

Now it's not that any of these three points will make much of an impact on anything... but if I am good at guessing, based on anthropological cultural influences, funky baby clothes are soon going to be the preferred type of clothes in countries of the commonwealth (the countries once ruled by UK). Which means, rather than their sales increasing in USA, they will continue to rise in Australia and Canada and perhaps also in India and other regions of the Asian belt.
