Pantone Color Of The Year – Ultimate Gray & Illuminating

As 2020 came to a close, Pantone announced two hues for the 2021 color of the year—Ultimate Gray and Illuminating.

But what is Pantone, you ask? Pantone is a well-known name in fashion and recognized globally as the leading source of color expertise. As a significant authority in the fashion space, Pantone’s color of the year has inspired product design across multiple industries.

 

 

“Two independent colors that come together to create an aspirational color pairing, conjoining deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the optimistic promise of a sunshine filled day.”

Styling Trendy Toddler Girl Clothes

Fortunately, the colors of 2021 are super wearable because they are easy to style in many ways. This season’s trends for girls focus on relaxed fitted styles and keep the color of 2021 in mind. So we can expect to see plenty of laid-back, trendy toddler girl clothes and gray and yellow baby girl dresses. I arranged a few outfits for those looking for a bit of style inspiration to demonstrate a few ways to style trendy toddler girl clothes using the colors of 2021 this season.  

 

Look 1: The Boho Chic Toddler

The Boho Chic Toddler is a little girls style inspired by Aviary, one of Pantone’s unique color groupings.

First, I took a simple gray and yellow baby girl dress and styled it with a contrasting blue cardigan. Then I added a pair of brightly colored shoes and a matching hat to offset the gray and blue tones of the two primary pieces.

 

Adding accessories is a great way to enhance your little trendsetter’s style and complete her overall look. When styling an outfit, I usually like to add 3-4 accessories that match each other in terms of color. Next, I chose a whimsical whale clutch because it didn’t overpower the casual feel of the overall look. Finally, I added a yellow heart-shaped pair of sunglasses because the subtle coloring corresponds well with the hat, so the final ensemble looks cohesive.

 

 

Pro Tip: Usually, when choosing a purse for little girls, keep in mind that selecting one that matches her shoes really isn’t mandatory. For example, if her shoes are very bright, it’s actually much better to have a handbag in a contrasting muted tone so that her accessories aren’t competing for attention.

 

Breaking Down The Look

According to Marie Claire, we’ll see an uptick in fabulously styled florals this season. Your stylish girl can frolic in the fields and channel carefree optimistic vibes in our classic Stella gray and yellow baby girl dress. This summer dress for toddlers is semi-fitted at the chest and relaxed through the waist and hips. It features a hand-constructed design, so it’s sure to last for many years and keep her adorably on-trend. Best of all, the flowy boho-chic fabric will keep her cool throughout the day. However, your little trendsetter will love it most for its totally twirlable silhouette!  

 

                       

 

Contrasting Toddler Cardigan In Blue? Don’t Mind If I Do!

Contrasting shades look fabulous when paired with gray and yellow baby girl dresses, so remember to try to incorporate a boldly colored layering item when styling this look. Take this striking blue cardigan, for example. Not only does it transition effortlessly throughout the seasons, but the rich pop of color translates nicely on camera, so this look would make a great picture day outfit. It’s an excellent choice because it keeps your fashionable little girl comfy and current during the breezy Spring months.

 

 

Every Little Trendsetter Needs A Novelty Purse

There’s nothing like a delightful purse for a little girl to feel all grown up. I always like to add an accessory like a novelty bag, so let’s level up these trendy toddler girl clothes by throwing in a whimsical whale clutch. I’m really loving the way this dark blue whale clutch looks with the gray and yellow baby girl dress because it adds a touch of whimsy and effortlessly ties the entire look together. Not only does it level up her look, but it also gives her a place to keep all of her smarties and special treasures!

 

 

Adorably On-Trend Toddler Hats

Wide-brimmed hats will continue to trend throughout the year, so styling your little one’s gray and yellow baby girl dresses for fall will be easier than ever. Wide brim or floppy hats come in various colors and styles, so choose the one that fits her personality the best. These chic hats make a fantastic investment accessory because they’re very adaptable, no matter what look you’re going for.

 

 

Not only does a floppy hat instantly elevate an outfit, but the wide brim also helps your little trendsetter stay protected from the sun. I chose a yellow wide-brimmed hat for little girls with this look because it complements the gray tones nicely. Not to mention, the subtle belted detailing makes it super versatile. So it looks great with several other outfits too.

 

Unique Accessories!? Yes, Please!

According to Who What Wear, specs with colored lenses and fresh statement-making frames are on the rise, so why not mix things up? I chose these rimless heart-shaped yellow-tinted sunnies because they keep the look consistent and do an excellent job leveling up the outfit. Since this year’s little girls style trends are all about embracing traditional designs, you could also try pairing this outfit with a set of classic aviators in a blue and yellow ombré tint.

 

 

If your little trendsetter is in the mood for something different, opt for brightly colored rectangle framed sunglasses for little girls instead. Eyewear is a super personal accessory, so it’s all about exploring what makes your little lady feel unique and ultra-chic! Finally, balance out this breezy bohemian look with a pair of comfortable strappy open-toed sandals. Include a pair of shoes that highlight the outfit’s bold hues because those types of details will add a mood-lifting finish to your little girl’s outfit.

 

Look 2: The Artsy Minimalist

Baby sisters love to look fashionable too! The Artsy Minimalist is perfect for your stylish girl because it’s a mini-sister version of the first look. I kept a similar vibe and color harmony when styling these trendy toddler girl clothes. First, I started with our Dainty Daisy gray and yellow baby girl dress because it features the same fabric seen in look 1. Next, I added a pair of stylish light yellow jeans to mix things up a bit.

 

I moved on to the accessories but decided to keep the hat the same this time. I like the idea of keeping the two styles pretty similar because these would make adorable matching outfits for sisters. I went with these blue-tinted retro sunglasses because they go well with the breezy summer pinafore dress.

They also keep the overall outfit’s vibe consistent because they compliment the color harmony of the look. Not only are these sequined high tops practical, but they pretty up the easy-breezy theme. Finally, I decided to go with this lemon-shaped purse for little girls because it adds a unique touch of personality to the overall ensemble.

Pro Tip: Our reversible pinafore dresses can be worn as longer tops or dresses, so they are super versatile. But be sure to include a pair of shorts, bloomers, or something similar underneath.

Our Dainty Daisy pinafore dress has a summery vintage feel that’s sure to be a go-to fave this season! This gray and yellow baby girl dress is reversible, so your little trendsetter can wear it two ways this summer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This reversible pinafore dress features an open-back design, so getting dressed and diaper changes are a breeze. This fabulous handmade frock can be worn alone or paired with a onesie underneath. Either way, you and your toddler will love it because it’s simply perfect for keeping cool during warm weather months.

 

Getting To The Bottom Of Things

Our pinafore dresses are designed to grow with your little one. They start off dress length and transform into longer style tops. So you’ll want to style these cute little girl clothes with a pair of bottoms underneath. Moms love our diaper covers for babies because they’re a great way to mix things up!

 

 

 

It’s important to note that diaper covers are actually a significant closet must-have because they can be worn with a handful of other looks. They are uber versatile because your little fashionista can wear them with other items like flutter sleeve onesies or lettuce edge tees.

There are also multiple color combinations to choose from, so it’s easy to jazz up this outfit. For instance, you could style this dress with a pair of solid-colored diaper cover bloomers in colors like yellow or blue.

A good pair of jeans can make any outfit, so why not make this ensemble a little cooler with some colorful jeans. I chose this pair of coordinating yellow jeans because they’re a terrific alternative to everyday denim. You can play around with different color combinations too! After all, your little trendsetter might prefer a more subtle style to match her mood.

 

Saying Hello With A Bright Pop Of Yellow

This lemon-shaped purse for little girls makes a delightful addition to this ensemble because it adds a cheerful pop of color. I chose this small round crossbody purse for girls because of its eye-catching design. It’s fun, practical, and definitely roomy enough for storing all of her little necessities. Not to mention, this unique statement piece makes sunny days feel closer than ever!

 

 

Every Fashionista Loves A Stylish Toddler Hat

Exploring different accessory options will keep her looking fresh. I like this dark blue fedora hat for kids because it adds texture, and it’s easy to transform it into a year-round look.

 

 

You’ll Want To Choose Some Sparkly Shoes

Comfy, super wearable shoes remain noteworthy in 2021, so try joining this outfit with a pair of gemmed-up sequined high tops for toddlers. Add some twinkle to this classic retro silhouette so that the overall feel of this low-key look feels more balanced.

 

 

Accessorize With Retro Vibes

Last but not least, these retro round lensed sunglasses are perfect for keeping the sunshine at bay. So whether she’s keeping it casual or dressing to impress, this combination of trendy toddler girl clothes works beautifully on so many levels!

 

 

Look 3: The Trendy Mini

Get ready to soak up the sun in this attention-grabbing outfit! The Trendy Mini is my modern take on 70’s inspired fashion. It features easy-to-wear accessories that effortlessly channel the color of 2021that keep your little trendsetter looking ultra-cool all season long. I styled this look starting with a pair of our yellow chevron ruffle bloomers because the cute frilly ruffles give off major warm-weather vibes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added a fun ‘love you more’ sweatshirt because it’s perfect for chillier spring months. You can always swap it out for a t-shirt or a tank top too! The groovy flower-shaped sunglasses are a must because they’re such a fun-loving statement piece! And floppy wide-brimmed sun hat with UPF 50+ sun protection is essential for any little trendsetter’s summer wardrobe!

Canvas slip-on shoes are usually great a great go-to because they’re comfy and casual. This delightful pair of navy blue daisy print canvas shoes spoke to me because they tied in with sunglasses’ funky ambiance.

Our super sassy baby ruffle bloomers couldn’t be cuter! They’re an excellent and easy way to update your little trendsetter’s summer style.

 

 

Your stylish girl can wear these super ruffle shorts with almost any top because they’re just so versatile. The tiered ruffle accents along the back add just the right amount of girly-girl style to this sunny day ensemble.

 

How About That Floppy Toddler Sun Hat?

Round out these trendy toddler girl clothes with a coordinating sun hat for kids. This protective sun hat for toddler girls is truly a summer staple because it’s essential to keep your baby safe from the harmful sun rays.

 

 

I recommend getting a hat made from UPF 50+ UV sun protection fabric so your baby stays protected during your next beach outing. This white floppy toddler hat is ultra fab because it features a bendable rim, so packing it is a piece of cake! The blue ribbon detailing also brings balance by adding a subtle splash of color.

 

Visualize Groovy Toddler Vibes

V Magazine notes that we’ll look to the past for style inspiration this year because the ’70s are making their way to 2021. So why not add a touch of retro flair to this ensemble? These ultra-groovy sunglasses feature round flower-shaped that give off major good vibes!

 

 

These stellar shades have summer written all over them and are considered ultra-trendy this season because of their clear round frames. Sunglasses with maximum UV protection need to be part of any little fashionista’s wardrobe this summer. So if you’re accessorizing an outfit for a beach outing, it’s vital to get a pair with max protection.

 

You Can’t Lose With These Cute Toddler Shoes

Keep the 70’s vibe alive! I love these blue canvas shoes for kids because they feature a funky daisy print that completes the outfit beautifully. Looking to style these trendy toddler girl clothes in a grunge-rock way? Add an unexpected shoe choice like your little trendsetter’s favorite pair of combat boots.

 

I personally LOVE these lace-up Dr. Marten boots because the metallic print suede is show-stopping! If you love a pop of color, you could try on some brightly colored retro sneakers or high tops instead.
