Onesies are the ultimate baby basic. Half T-shirt, half one-piece bathing suit, they’re versatile enough to be worn alone, with a pair of bottoms or even under a sleep sack (depending on the temperature, of course).

If you’re a new parent, it’s a good idea to have about five to 15 onesies on hand, though that number may vary depending on how fast your LO is growing. Some babies speed right through certain sizes (particularly the newborn one), whereas other babies will wear them for a little longer.

Before you stock up, you’ll also want to plan his outfits for the season; your December baby may not get a whole lot of use out of his 6-month, long-sleeve thermal onesies, for example.

Here are the best long-sleeve, short-sleeve and tank-style bodysuits, in every pattern and style you could possibly need.

Ask any parent what their favorite brand of baby clothing is, and there’s a good chance they’ll say Carter’s. And these long-sleeve onesies — in neutral shades of gray, white and cream — are the perfect basics for your LO. They’re also available in sizes ranging from preemie to 24 months (and the preemie and newborn sizes come with fold-over hand mittens).

Nothing says spring and summer quite like these nautical-themed onesies from Hudson Baby. There are more neutral options available, or you can opt for onesies with tiny tank top straps that have adorable little ruffles on the shoulder. Who needs sleeves to be stylish?

These bodysuits are also vailable in a range of colors and patterns — nautical stripes, bold polka dots, woodland creature prints — each one is cute enough to be worn alone or layered under a jacket or vest.

If you’re going to buy white clothing for your LO, you might as well buy it in bulk. After all, it won’t stay white for very long. That’s why we’re fans of this eight-pack of white bodysuits from Gerber’s, made with 100 percent organic ribbed cotton. Bonus points go to the high snap closure, which makes fastening the onesie a cinch (relatively speaking).

Babies tend to balk when a onesie is pulled over their heads. To the rescue: side snap bodysuits. These onesies can be pulled on much like a jacket, then buttoned on the side. We like these side-snap onesies, from Simple Joys by Carter’s (also available in preemie sizes).

Any parent who has to wrangle their baby into a regular onesie will love Henley-style bodysuits. Simply unbutton the top of the shirt and slip the opening over your LO’s head — ta da! Your baby will never even notice you’re in the middle of an outfit change. (Until you get to sleeves, that is…) This Henley onesie, from Cat & Jack, comes in a bright pop of red and features a sweet nautical-striped pocket.

Babies — especially newborns — tend to outgrow their clothing quickly. But that’s not the case with these bodysuits. Hanes Flexy onesies are made of soft, flexible fabric that will stretch as your baby gets bigger. They’re also available in a wide range of colors, from purple and magenta stripes, to pastel yellows and greens.

If dressing your little one in a onesie and a hat is too big of an ask (babies are only so cooperative during outfit changes), you’ll love this hoodie bodysuit from Hanes. The fabric — a cotton, polyester, and spandex blend — is super stretchy, and the rounded V-neck makes for an extra wide opening that you can slip over baby’s head.
