Baby headbands are a charming accessory and come in so many adorable designs that it can be hard to resist buying way too many of them. For little girls, they add a delightful finishing touch to their outfit and send the cuteness barometer into overdrive. However, many parents don’t know the correct way to style soft baby headbands.
If you are one of them, Bubba Bump has this comprehensive guide to seamlessly matching headbands with your newborn’s wardrobe to help you prioritise comfort and safety.
What are the best baby headbands for newborns?
A baby’s skin is incredibly delicate and their head is still forming. That’s why, before considering patterns and colours in newborn headbands, the most important consideration should be comfort. Buy ultra soft baby headbands made from organic, breathable fabric that won't irritate the skin or leave marks.
Look for materials like cotton or bamboo that offer maximum stretch and are gentle and safe for newborns. Adjustable headbands are also a fantastic choice because they grow with your baby, ensuring a fit that is snug in all the right ways but never too tight.

What colours are best for baby headbands?
Here’s a quick tip: try to coordinate the headband colour with the primary colour in the outfit. For example:
1. Neutral Colours
Neutral-coloured headbands, e.g. white, cream, beige or sage, are the foundation of any baby accessory collection simply because they can match with everything. If your newborn is wearing a bright, patterned onesie, a simple white or cream headband creates a clean, balanced look.
2. A Pop of Contrast
Sometimes a strategic contrast can add a pop of fun to your baby’s outfit of the day. For example, with a pale pink or mint green sleeper, choose a headband in a brighter colour like yellow to draw attention to your baby’s sweet face.
3. The Perfect Match
If your baby’s outfit has a small floral print, you could match it with a headband in the same print, or pick a colour that occurs in the print. For example, if a little dress has small blue flowers, selecting a blue headband that perfectly matches the shade of blue in the dress will make a beautiful combination.
How do I mix patterns and textures with baby headbands?
When dealing with patterns, try to find harmony instead of allowing patterns to clash. For patterned outfits, the golden rule is to pair them with a solid-coloured headband. If you want to be more daring and mix patterns, go for a subtle approach.
For instance, pair a pinstripe outfit with a headband featuring a tiny, tone-on-tone polka dot bow. The pattern colours should also match in some way.
Another idea is to try different textures, such as chunky knit headbands in winter or pairing a light, cotton summer dress with a smooth, jersey-knit band for a sophisticated ensemble.
