Summer term is here – and that means school plays, sunny sports days, and plenty of opportunities for your little one to show off her cutest hairstyles. And what better way to top off those styles than with classic gingham hair accessories?
Here at Bowtastic Hair Accessories, we’ve been creating beautiful gingham bows for over 12 years – and we know a thing or two about how to keep school hair neat, fun, and fabulous in the summer!
Whether you’re looking for bows that match the school uniform or fun new ways to style your girl’s hair, we’ve got you covered (literally – with bows, clips, headbands and more!).

👧💕Easy, Cute School Hairstyles for Summer
Hot weather and busy mornings? No problem. Here are some easy, school approved summer hairstyles that work beautifully with our gingham accessories:
1. The Classic Ponytail + Bow
A quick, go-to style for active school days. Secure hair with a snag-free elastic and finish with a large gingham bow to match her dress.
2. Double Plaits with Bow Clips
Perfect for keeping hair tidy during PE or playtime. Add small gingham clip bows at the top or ends of each plait for a super sweet look.
3. Half-Up, Half-Down with Gingham Tie
This style keeps hair out of her face while still showing off her length. Use a gingham scrunchie or ribbon tie for a softer finish.
4. Messy Bun + Headband
For those extra-warm days, a high bun is the answer. Add a gingham headband to tame flyaways and add a touch of colour.
5. Side Plait + Bow Clip
Great for long hair – a single side plait finished with a medium-sized gingham bow clip is equal parts tidy and adorable.
🎀 What Hair Accessories Should You Have on Hand?
Here’s our summer term checklist for every schoolgirl’s hair kit:
✅ Gingham Bow Clips – Small and large for different styles

✅ Gingham Alice Bands – A must-have for fuss-free mornings
