The Ultimate Guide to Halloween Headbands and Bows for Baby Girls

3 min read

October brings its own palette to the shop — ghosts, pumpkins, bats, and a few surprises that lean more "cute" than "scary." If you're the kind of parent who dresses for the season and not just the holiday itself, here's what's live this year, how to actually style it, and when to shop before your size and print sell out.

This year's Halloween lineup

This season runs from the classic — Ghost & Pumpkin, Spooky Bats — to the playful and a little grown-up, like Coquette Girly Ghost and Happy Ghost, plus a Glow in the Dark shaker bow that's exactly what it sounds like, and a Hocus Pocus tulle bow clip for anyone who wants texture over print. Not everything here is trick-or-treat loud: a Beetlejuice print and a few solid purple pieces work just as well for someone who wants a hint of the season without a full costume look.

Matching for Halloween photos

A handful of this season's prints come in a mom headband too, in the same fabric sized up rather than scaled down — worth checking before you assume it's baby-only. If a specific print doesn't have a matching adult piece yet, a solid pull from the same color family does the same job. Our matching guide covers how to do that without your Halloween outfit looking like a costume twice over.

Styling it past October 31st

Not every Halloween-adjacent piece has to live in a box after the holiday. The solid purple headband and the Glow in the Dark shaker bow both work through the rest of fall without reading as costume leftovers — it's really just the pumpkin, ghost, and bat prints that are trick-or-treat-specific. If you want the fuller fall picture beyond Halloween, our fall guide covers the rest of the season's lineup.

When to shop before it sells out

Halloween pieces run on a shorter window than most of what we make — once the season's over, most of these prints don't come back next year in the same run. If you already know which size band your baby is in, shopping earlier means more choice in your size. If you're not sure which size she's in right now, our size guide walks through how to measure.

Once Halloween's over, the same gentle hand-wash routine keeps these pieces — and everything else in rotation — looking new. See our care guide for how to wash and store them properly.

Questions people ask

What Halloween prints are available this year?

This season's lineup runs from classic ghost and pumpkin prints to playful ones like Coquette Girly Ghost and Happy Ghost, plus a Glow in the Dark shaker bow and a Hocus Pocus tulle bow clip.

Do you have matching mom and baby Halloween headbands?

Some of this season's prints come in a mom headband too, in the same fabric sized up for an adult head. If a print doesn't have a matching adult piece, a solid color from the same family works just as well.

Can these be worn after Halloween?

The solid and glow-in-the-dark pieces work through the rest of fall. The pumpkin, ghost, and bat prints are more Halloween-specific.

How long does Halloween inventory last?

It's a shorter run than most of our prints — once the season ends, most Halloween styles don't return next year in the same run, and popular sizes tend to sell out first.

What size headband should I get for my baby this Halloween?

It depends on her age and head size — our size guide walks through the four size bands and how to measure if you're not sure which one she's in.
