4 Ways to Wear Anchovy’s Ombre Dresses and Tops

By now we’re probably all well aware of the ombre hair trend. The casual color fade look was a favorite of many who regularly color their hair—it embraced the fading of color from darker roots to lighter ends. However, it’s becoming abundantly clear that this distinct look is no longer just for hair. It’s making its way to the children’s clothes scene for some truly fashionable looks.

Ombre clothing takes this color trend and makes it even more daring by combining colors, fading hues in multiple directions, or bumping up the contrast between the lightest and darkest shade to make it really pop. It’s similar to a tie-dyed look but is more subtle and sophisticated. And if you have a child who loves to be in style they’ll adore ombre clothes for kids. It’s a look that’s on the cutting edge of children’s fashion but is still easy to style and wear every day.

While there are many designers dabbling with ombre fabric in their designs, one in particular is known for their trendy ombre garments. Anchovy designer clothes for kids started as an interactive application that blended technology and fashion to allow users to create uniquely colored and patterned clothing. Now this innovative clothing brand is expanding its reach and selling readymade designer clothing that’s perfect for today’s littlest trend setters.

Anchovy ombre clothing features sharp lines and minimalist shapes that allow the colors to take center stage. They’re unlike anything you would see in more traditional clothing stores and will make your child stand out from the crowd (in the best way possible). Here are a few pieces we think would make great additions to your little one’s wardrobe.

If you’re searching for an ombre dress, you’ll adore this Anchovy Origami Dress. The striking two-tone ombre look that fades from emerald green to steely gray instantly catches the eye. It’s an interesting spin on this design—fading from side to side instead of up and down, and fading two completely different colors into each other. And the swinging A-line shape is perfectly suited to running around and playing, which all good children’s clothing should be. Pair this dress with some simple white sneakers for a school-ready look.

Anchovy has taken the humble plaid shirt and given it a modern makeover with this Net Shirt. Its asymmetrical pattern takes a style that has been done a thousand times and makes it feel fresh and new. Its plaid stripes feature the ombre look, with light gray giving way to dark so that it appears silvery at first glance. It has a sleek, minimalist look that is casual enough for every day when worn with jeans, but can also be dressed up for more formal occasions with a black skirt or dress pants. Plus, its unisex style means it’s a perfect choice whether you’re looking for girls’ or boys’ tops.

For little ones who enjoy plenty of room to move, you can’t find a more perfect piece of clothing than this Lost Star Dress. The square shape lends itself to an oversized fit, which guarantees it won’t feel restricting in the slightest. And while technically a dress, its short length is perfect for pairing with leggings and slip-ons for an outfit perfect for a park play date. We love the blending of multiple colors into one another—while appearing random, altogether they form an utterly gorgeous ombre look. 

Finally, we have to share this simple yet stunning Anchovy Fog Skirt. It has just the right amount of modern style for little girls who tend to prefer more traditional clothes, yet don’t want to wear the same thing as everyone else. Deep gray fades to white, making this the purest example of the ombre look. And, it gently flares out, perfect for twirling around on the playground. Pair this with a brightly colored shirt and simple sandals for an adorable look that’s perfect for school, play, or family get togethers.
