How to Dress a Baby in Summer
Summer is here, which means it is time to prepare your little one’s wardrobe for the sweltering months ahead. Following are a few tips on how to choose the perfect summer clothing for your baby.
1. Comfort over Fashion
When buying baby clothes for summer, always prioritize comfort over fashion. Babies are much more comfortable in natural and breathable fabrics, as synthetic fibers can be irritating. Materials like cotton and linen are ideal for summer clothing and will provide the optimum amount of breathability for your baby.
2. Choose Lighter Colors
Dark and strong colors absorb heat, so it is best to opt for lighter shades and pastels for summer clothing. Opt for clothing in shades of white, cream, turquoise, blue, pink, and yellow. Prints and patterns are also great as they are stylish and can reflect any excess sunlight.
3. Choose Appropriate Lengths
It is important to choose the appropriate lengths when dressing a baby in summer. Opt for short sleeve, sleeveless, and slightly below-knee dresses, to protect your baby’s skin from sunburns. If your region experiences colder evenings, choose clothing that can be layered easily.
4. Protect Your Baby’s Skin
It is important to protect your baby’s skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Choose clothing that offers UPF protection, sun hats, and sunglasses, whenever you take your baby out in the sun.
5. Accessories
Accessorizing your baby’s wardrobe can add a touch of charm and chicness to any summer outfit. Select headbands, bibs, bright-colored booties and mittens to style your little one according to your taste.
6. Styling Tips
-
- For Girls: Bows, plaits, and flower crowns are some simple and easy options to style a little girl’s outfit. Also, small accessories like a pearl necklace, small studs, or kids jewelry can all make her look adorable.
- For Boys: Choose dungarees, shorts, or mini blazers to make your little one look stylish. Bow ties and suspenders are very trendy this season and will dress your boy up with panache.
So, now that you know the basics, go ahead and get creative!
Happy summers!
