The 2021 Style Guide to Baby Bows

Baby Bows

There were 3.75 million new babies born in 2019. Of course, every baby is precious but did you know that babies are getting rarer? The birth rate is at its lowest level since 1985, so those babies are getting even more special.

Dressing up your precious baby is always fun. Bows and headbands are the height of baby fashion. Read on for your style guide to baby bows in 2021.

Safe Baby Bows

Whenever you’re considering putting a headband or bow on your baby, your first concern has to be safety. Look for gentle stretch headbands rather than those that you tie. They’re not too tight and they don’t have any sharp components to injure your baby.

Even the safest baby headbands are best worn under supervision. After all, why wouldn’t you want to admire your baby and their style the whole time they’re wearing that cute bow.

Designer Bows

While in lockdown, fashion designer Isabella Lalonde has been making hair bows. The oversized hair accessories have been getting plaudits from no less a fashion commentator than Vogue. She has the skills and creativity to create wonderfully decorated bows that are evocative of childhood but worn by models.

If you don’t feel you’re up to designing and making your own baby bow creations there are wonderful baby headbands and bows available to buy. Take some time to check them out and you’ll find it hard to resist following these baby trends.

Stretch Baby Bows

Stretch bows are ideal for babies. There’s no complicated tieing or constant re-tieing to do. The gentle stretch fabric comfortably fits any baby’s delicate head.

Pretty Pattern

The range of patterns is huge. Just examine your own wardrobe for inspiration. If you love patterned fabrics, you’ll love your baby in bold patterns too.

Patchwork, flowers, polka dots, and stripes are all options. Combine the pattern with complementary outfits rather than have the patterns fighting with each other. A single-colored outfit works brilliantly with a patterned bow.

Go Large

Tiny babies and huge bows. That’s the style that literally has the biggest impact. They look so cute.

For newborn babies, try a stretch headwrap with a narrower band. They can still carry an oversized looking bow that’s actually a little smaller and suitable for a newborn baby. 

Animal Print

If you look great in animal print, your baby will too. A huge leopard print bow is especially striking. Combine it with natural-toned outfits or black for catwalk fashion style combined with oh so cute.

Color Ways

A baby bow in a single color is the most versatile accessory. Choose a shade that matches your baby’s other outfits. A bow will lift that outfit from everyday functionality to fashion statement.

If in doubt the same classic colors as you might consider for your own wardrobe’s versatility work for your baby too. Black, white, and grey are always good options.

Baby Trends

Bows are on-trend and baby bows too. Try one and you’re likely to love it. You’ll be starting a collection before you know it.
