Baby Girl Headbands/Hats -- Yay or Nay?

I see so many little baby girl's with these headbands and bows and little knit hats that look SO CUTE to me...

But I came across a post recently - asking where to get headbands - and everyone was BASHING them - saying how trashy and stupid and ugly they were and not to get them...

 What does everyone think about the baby girl head "stuff" ?? Specifically for newborns or younger babies...

Re: Baby Girl Headbands/Hats -- Yay or Nay?

  • I think they are adorable personally... There is hardly a day that goes by that DD doesn't have a bow clip or headband on. I have made a few of her headbands. Some are the shaped ones that i made a rosette to clip on, others are just tights that i sewed into a headband. the ones made out of tights or stretchy nylon material work best!

  • I second that! I think they are adorable, as long as they are not too big! I have made a few for our LO already and I cannot wait until she can wear them!

  • It depends on the style. I don't like this hat but I love this one.

  • I'm not really a fan.  Hats yes, headbands no.  Some look cute but just not on my kids.

  • Bows, I love. Hats, I love. Those awful headbands with the flowers that are bigger than the baby's head?....just.no.

  • Its just preference.  Personally, I hate those headband things, but I also hate baby tu-tus.  Which is a shame because DD still does not have enough hair for a barrette and I do think the little hair bows are kinda cute.

    Because she was practically bald, she wore newborn caps or knit hats a lot when it was cold/cool out.  I had one really cute winter one with long "braids", kind of a snowboarder style, that she was adorable in all winter.

  • I like the headbands, hats and barrets. I don't like bows but that's my personal taste. I prefer the flower headbands to be small and modest but the big ones look cute sometimes. L has a ton of hair and I do barrets and pebbles Flinstone hair on her. Headbands look weird on her for some reason. 

    Etsy has a ton of cute ones for all styles/occasions.

  • We had a headband on DD a lot when she was a NB and younger infant. Now, not so much because she can tear it right off her head as soon as we put it on. I like the smaller flowers and bows versus the giant ones that are as big as the baby's face. Here's DD at 3 months with my favorite one. :-)

  • We love them! 
  • My girls wear clips and headbands, but they are little clips and the headbands have little bows or flowers (quarter sized) on them.  I am not a fan of the flowers and feathers that are bigger than the baby's head.

  • Hats are a must for us-they protect from sunburn in the summer and cold in the winter, and we spend a lot of time outside. 

    Headbands?  Not my style at all, but hey, to each their own.  

  • LOVE them.  My DD wore the headbands ALL the time as an infant...and now as a toddler she wears bows/flowers with a clip to pull her bangs back every day.  We have them in every color/style.  If you like them, don't worry about what other people think of them!

  • I like them, but I have to agree with some of the others that the giant bows, etc are the part I dislike.  I think small flowers/bows can look cute on headbands and hats or just plain headbands and hats can be cute too without extra items on them.
