Hipster culture exploded in popularity through the early to mid-2000s. Many devotees of the style, in their teens or early 20s during its peak, now have children of their own.
Today, you can reintroduce some of that classic style into your life by dressing your newborn in hipster baby clothes.
THE MOST STYLISH HIPSTER BABY CLOTHES FROM HEAD TO TOE
Now, we’re not talking about dressing your baby in suspenders, ripped jeans, and a trilby. Here’s the thing about hipster style: Beyond the stereotypical look, hipster fashion has had a major influence on today’s trendiest clothing.
Dressing your baby in hipster clothes has a few benefits. First, many of these clothes help protect your baby from harsh sun, cold weather, and other environmental hazards and discomforts.
And besides, who doesn’t want the best-dressed baby on the playground?
Clear out some space in the wardrobe for new clothes! Today, we’re taking a closer look at hipster baby clothes, which expertly combine function with fashion.
From hats to onesies to booties and more, you’ll find a great selection of hipster-inspired fashions. Here’s a complete rundown of the best hipster clothing:
Hats
Let’s start at the top with gear for your baby’s head. Immediately after your little one was born, the nursing staff gave him or her a cute, comfy hat; it’s usually called an “infant hat.”
They’re necessary to keep your baby warm during the abrupt transition from the womb to the outside world.
Once at home, infants no longer need to wear hats constantly. However, you do want to watch for signs your baby is cold.
Babies get cold fairly easily. As a general rule, babies need one more layer of clothing than adults do at the same temperature. Hats are usually recommended whenever your baby is outside during fall and winter.
Plenty of baby hats are available with hipster-inspired style. These soft, cotton beanies from Zando have a cool, subdued look. If you’re looking for something more upscale, check out these knitted caps from Durio.
Of course, for the ultimate in hipster style, go with Carhartt, a brand well-known for its popularity among hipsters. Baby-sized Carhartt watch caps are available in pink, green, black, and other colors.

Plaid
Plaid is a mainstay of hipster style. You’ll find it on shirts, jackets, scarves, hats, and more.
You can even find plaid ties for the ultimate in hipster business casual.
Start your junior hipster off right with a full line of plaid clothing. Star Younger’s plaid romper bodysuit and New Zhu’s jumpsuit with bottoms are two excellent examples.

Gender-Neutral Clothing
Hipsters and many other parents have long moved past the idea that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. Instead, today’s parents often prefer gender-neutral or unisex clothing. It’s called gender-neutral parenting, and it allows children to explore their interests without feeling pressure to conform to societal expectations.
Gender-neutral parenting is not without its controversy, but gender-neutral baby clothing is usually considered fairly mild. Typically, gender-neutral baby clothes feature a subdued, muted style.
Burt’s Bees makes a pair of unisex pajamas with white and dark blue stripes. With breathable cotton, they’re soft and comfortable against sensitive baby skin.
Hudson Baby also has a variety of cotton bodysuits in a variety of simple styles, most featuring a blue/gray design.

Sunglasses

Blankets
Last but not least, let’s look at some baby blankets. When shopping for a blanket, keep two features in mind.
First, the blanket should be soft and hypoallergenic. Usually, that’s not a problem, but double-check for any buttons, zippers, tags, and other potential irritants.
Also, the blanket should be easy to clean. Make sure it’s machine washable. You probably want a dryer-safe blanket, too.
