Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this babydoll thing all over the internet lately. You know, the “coquette” aesthetic? It’s, like, super girly and frilly. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but then I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I decided to try incorporating it into my wardrobe.
First, I started browsing some fashion sites. I saw pictures of influencers rocking these babydoll dresses, and they looked pretty cute. I noticed brands like Ganni and Bottega Veneta were doing their own, lighter takes on the style. Even Valentino and Costelloe had some versions! They aren’t just for little girls, you know? It’s pretty versatile, it is a 60s-style babydoll dress.
Then, I went shopping. I wanted something that was babydoll but still felt a bit more grown-up. I checked out some dresses from Sandy Liang, Molly Goddard, and Merlette. They had some really nice options, not too childish but still had that babydoll vibe. I ended up getting a few different ones to try out.
- I got this one dress with puff sleeves. I’ve always liked puff sleeves, so that was a plus. I figured I could wear it with some sneakers to dress it down a bit.
- The second one I chose was a bit more classic. I found that if you keep the accessories more mature, it balances out the sweetness of the dress.
- I also experimented with layering. I tried wearing a babydoll dress over a t-shirt and jeans, and it looked surprisingly cool! It was a fun way to mix the trend with my usual style. I think it’s a good way to make the trend your own.
After trying out different outfits, I started wearing the babydoll dresses out and about. I wore one to a coffee date, another to a picnic in the park, and even one to a casual dinner with friends. I got some compliments, and people seemed to like the look!
My thoughts?
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I liked the babydoll trend. It was fun to try something new and step outside my comfort zone. Plus, it’s perfect for the warmer weather that’s coming up. If you’re thinking about trying it, I say go for it! You might be surprised at how much you like it, too.
