This comparison looks at their sizing, fabric, and design so you can decide whether to buy them separately or together.

How to Build a Neutral Baby Outfit Set
Because both pieces come in heather grey, you can easily create a neutral baby outfit set. The crewneck works as a top for cooler days, while the shorts are ideal for summer. For layering, size up in the crewneck if you plan to put a onesie underneath, since its fit is true to size. The shorts also fit true to size, with an elastic waist that accommodates diaper changes comfortably.
If you want a complete look, pair the crewneck with the shorts in the same size range – for example, 2T crewneck with 2T shorts. Keep in mind the crewneck is available up to 7/8Y, so it can grow with your child beyond the shorts' size limit.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the Grey Crewneck if you need a versatile layering piece for cooler weather or for older toddlers and kids. It's a durable, everyday top with a playful patch detail.
Choose the Heather Grey Cotton Shorts if you want lightweight, breathable bottoms for warm weather. They are a final sale item, so be sure about the size before purchasing.
If you're looking for a coordinated neutral baby outfit set, buying both is a practical choice – they share the same color and fabric blend, and they pair well together.
