Baby girl clothes sell better. Its that way in almost every store, even on eBay. It drives me bonkers. The other day i went to 3 different stores before i found a sweatsuit for my son, the others had all kinds of girls sweats but no boys.

Maybe they think that baby boys don’t like to go shopping like the stereotype of older men.

It’s the same all throughout life. If you look at the junior girls or womans sections there will be tons and tons of options. But if you look in the boys or mens sections there aren’t as many.

Because we live in a society that generalizes boys and girls. Girls are expected to be pretty and like pink, and boys are expected to not care about fashion and like sports.

“and girls can go really girly or not so much, where as boys can pretty much only go boyish.”

That would be because the world population is dominated by the birth of female babies as opposed to male babies.

Everything is more for the fair sex. cloths, jewelry, wigs and what not….because they have to attract other sex by looking smart.

I think its because girls have way more options-dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, blouses, ect. ect. ect….. boys pretty much have shorts, pants, shirts, overalls….
and girls can go really girly or not so much, where as boys can pretty much only go boyish.
Sometimes if you check out more of the boutiue-ish stores, like gymboree, you can find more equality for boys and girls.

Yea, and why are they ALL pink!!!!!
ahhhhhhh.
Well Um, it could be because there is a larger
population of females in the world then there are men
Also Every year there is a dicrease in male babies
as there are more females….
Scary but true
The Y chromosome is slowly shrinking
and the X chromosome seems to be stable.

If not that then I have no idea.

I attribute it to the fact that manufacturers assume that boys wear just jeans and T-shirts most of the time but girls like to wear cutesy dresses, skirts, etc. I think there is more creativity allowed in making girl clothes than in making boy clothes so many designers use this as an opportunity to “go wild” with design.

I believe there are more girl clothes on the market because local stores are able to add more accessories to the girl product such as purses and jewelry then to the boys. And let’s face it girls need more of a variety too.
