Just because the H&M near Penn Station doesn't have any of the Sonia Rykiel kids collection doesn't mean that they are completely devoid of trendy togs for tikes. Yes, what you see above are drop-crotch pants for children, available for $9.95 at H&M and guaranteed to get your kids bullied on the playground, even if they are later photographed by street style spotters.

Although we think that dressing children in drop-crotch bears too much resemblance to the days when they were still in diapers, we want to know your opinion of this fad. To drop-crotch or not to drop-crotch, that is kidswear question!
