A baby costume is a fancy dress outfit that mimics the look of a baby, with a loose-fitting shirt, wide trousers and a hat. In the shop, this range falls under fancy dress clothing, and within that category, this is the group where you are the baby yourself instead of a fantasy character. The style options are very similar: a pink look with ruffles and a bib, or a blue boys' version. Such a baby outfit works for adults at carnival, a theme party or a costume party, and children can also join in wearing a baby suit.
Pink or blue: which version suits who?
- For women, there are pink models, from a baby suit in a cheerful pink colour to a short-sleeved pink dress.
- For men, it is all about the larger baby suits, in blue and pink, with sizes ranging from M to XL in the ready-to-wear range.
- For children, the same suits form the basis of a baby fancy dress look, where you choose based on body length rather than age.
- Some sets consist of more than one piece: one of the blue suits comes with a shirt with a pacifier, trousers and a matching hat.
- One of the pink suits includes a shirt with a bib, plus trousers and a hat.
From a single baby suit to a fully decorated baby party
The range in this category goes from a single garment to a complete outfit, and that mainly determines how much else you need. A separate baby suit is enough if you only want the silhouette: the loose top and wide trousers do all the work. A multi-piece set with a hat and bib is complete as soon as you put it on, which is handy if you have little time or are going with a large group. That group mentality is exactly why a baby costume for adults has been appearing at carnival for years: the joke works better if everyone wears the same look and the sizes differ among each other. If you are torn between pink and blue, choose based on what the rest of your group is doing, because a mixed baby family stands out more than one colour. With a multi-piece suit, check if the hat is included, because that part makes the difference between pyjamas and a baby.
Where do you start in the baby range?
If you want to be ready in one go, start with the baby fancy dress set: there the parts are already coordinated. If you are looking for the playful face instead of the whole outfit, then the baby mask section is the starting point. And if you already have your clothes and are only missing the part that sells the joke, take a look at the baby bib collection.
Which parts make a baby suit a complete outfit?
A baby outfit is complete as soon as the three recognisable parts are there: the suit, something on your head and something around your neck. The suit provides the shape, the hat rounds off the face and a bib tells the joke at a glance. Wear white socks with it and keep your hands free for something a baby would play with. If you are going with more people, divide the colours: pink and blue next to each other immediately read as a baby family.
When do you wear a baby costume?
Carnival is the biggest moment for a baby suit, because the theme is immediately understood in a parade and at a polonaise party. In addition, the look often appears at a theme party or a costume party, where exaggerated fancy dress is exactly the point. It is also a popular choice for a baby shower or a birthday with a wink. For children, it simply remains a funny fancy dress outfit that needs little explanation.
