Blue, Pink, or Undecided

 

These days, does it even matter whether something is pink or blue? Since it's so simple to determine a baby's gender before the joyous day, there's no need to speculate. That's not really accurate, though. Even with technological advancements, ultrasound images aren't always accurate, and many parents would rather be surprised. Even if you don't know the gender of the newborn, you may still need to choose between pink and blue items.

There's always the option of flipping a coin: heads means roses and lace, tails means the small sailor suit. There are more practical and efficient ways to make sure you purchase apparel and accessories that people will like and find useful.

Gender-neutral Colors

Naturally, sticking to gender-neutral color schemes is the simplest option. Although pastel colors are popular among parents, you don't have to stick to baby green and pale yellow to be safe. There are many additional gender-neutral hues available.

Looking for a crib set without a gender distinction? You can get away with eyelet and lace if it isn't too fragile, and white and ivory are both fine alternatives. For both a boy and a girl, a plush white comforter and matching crib bumpers are appropriate.

When choosing baby apparel and accessories, primary and secondary colors that are vivid and clear are another excellent method to avoid the gender ambiguity. Regardless of the baby's gender, sleepers in vibrant red, blue, green, and yellow will look wonderful. Choose onesies that are either all one solid color or have contrasting ribbing around the borders in turquoise, orange, dark green, or red.

Try something different. Consider how cute it will be if you decorate the nursery with tuxedoed penguins wearing vibrant red, blue, and yellow ribbons or buy a t-shirt with red, yellow, and blue balloons on it. You should congratulate yourself for picking vibrant colors for the baby's room and accessories. Even while we adore pastel baby clothes, babies react far better to vivid, distinct hues.

Gender-neutral Design Patterns

Keep in mind that you can err on the side of the boy more readily than the girl if you're unsure about the boy/girl question. It's adorable to see a baby girl sporting a t-shirt with sports graphics. Simply simply, you wouldn't dress a young kid in a sleeper decorated with tiny daisy sprigs. One gender-neutral option are teddy bears and ducks, but you may also discover lovely, distinctive designs that stand out. The Noah's Ark, lions and tigers, traffic signs, and holiday-related motifs (candy canes, pumpkins, candy corn?) are some of the more creative ones we've seen recently.

Stripes in candy colors, polka dots of unusual sizes, and abstract designs are additional gender-neutral patterns that look good on apparel for both boys and girls. Have fun clothing your kid in non-boy or non-girl clothes and accessories by choosing a theme and a color.
