Fall and winter are fast approaching, having attire for your children that are functional and stylish is top priority. Here are some tips to help you find attractive fall fashion and practical solutions to keep your little ones warm and cozy during any outdoor excursion.
Tops
Long sleeved tops are a must have, in any country's cool weather wardrobe. No matter the age. This simple clothing item is so versatile it can be worn casually around your home, to school, church or whatever fancy event. Here are some examples;
Lengthy tunics- can be used as a shirt (paired with skinny jeans or leggings) or a dress with stockings or tights. (For girls)
Lightweight cotton long sleeved t-shirts are wonderful options especially for kids who love to play outside but cannot keep a jacket on. Turtle necks or my favorite and they are unisex.
Plush ear warmers as well as waterproof gloves will keep little ones warm in the coldest temperatures. And the many colors and designs available, are bound to be a chic and useful accessory to any ensemble.
Pants
When it comes to long pants, one cannot go wrong as the options and style opportunities are infinite as with choosing a top. Jeans are an exquisite choice as they are most often made of thick material that not only keeps the wearer warm but is very durable for those rough and rugged boys. Dark shades of blue jeans appear more dress casual than the faded varieties.
While jeans are considered unisex, young ladies also have the option of leggings or jeggings with or without leg warmers to keep little girl's legs warm. If you are in an area known for extreme cold temperatures, a little more insulation is needed. some clothing stores provide pants with removable wool inserts that adhere to the inside of many different styles of pants. If insulated pants are not an available option, layering clothes (Avoid cotton due to its moisture absorbing abilities) is just as good of an option.
Socks and boots
Seamless socks are a great choice in covering those tiny toes. As long as the socks are made of thick waterproof materials, you have built up the best defense against frostbitten toes.
However, you cannot go outdoors in frigid temperatures with only socks, so a good pair of winter boots that are waterproof is a must purchase. Boots come in a wide range of materials and designs, but with winter/snowy weather, leather, suede or rubber are the best bet to keeping tiny toes warm and dry this time of year.
While the change in seasons opens up to variety in design, to keep you and your child warm and fashionable. It is important to keep in mind styles change very often, and your child grows so fast it's difficult to keep track.
Be economical - only purchase what you or your child will wear and items in sizes which leave a bit of room for growth but not enough to become a safety hazard.
Outer wear
A warm winter jacket with colors that easily go with your cold season wardrobe is essential and functional. You can accessorize with a scarf and a matching hat. If your little one is prone to colds and chest conditions, it is wise to add a hoodie or a sweater under the jacket. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Have fun and enjoy your winter. Any additions in the comment section is welcome.
