Outerwear for Kids

If there’s one style that looks good on both girls and boys, it’s layering. Apart from it being casually stylish, it is also a very practical style that can keep your young ones warm during cold seasons. The key to layering is to mix different textures and styles. For instance, casual layering calls for cotton or other lightweight materials to be worn with knits. For a more refined layered look, textured layers like tweed or velvet go best with smooth materials like silk or satin.

Little boys look great in chunky knitwear, cable knits, and knitwear with Nordic-inspired designs. Opt for matching sweater and cap sets for a casual yet preppy look. Accessorize these with knitted mittens, cardigans, and scarves. Go for knitwear in warm colors, like browns and beiges, and in muted shades, such as gray and soft blue hues. Quilted vests are also great for boys as they are very warm and allow boys to move freely. These vests go well with flannel shirts and wool sweaters. Another outerwear essential for boys is sherpa-lined jackets. These also do a great job in keeping anybody warm. Hooded pullovers are also great for layered looks for boys. Choose hoodies with bold designs and graphics. These pullovers look great with denim and corduroy.

For little girls, outerwear essentials include vests made from snuggly and plush materials like shearling and faux fur. Quilted vests are also quite the rage because they are quite warm. Vests are best paired with knitwear and sweaters. Knitwear and faux fur, incidentally, are also high on the list of girls’ outerwear essentials. Look for knitwear in bold colors and funky designs and for faux fur in bright, unusual colors (like purple or orange) with fun animal prints. Earmuffs are another outerwear essential. Aside from helping keep ears warm, they are also a great accessory. Opt for fuzzy ones for a quirky look. For a truly girly layered look, look for clothing with floral embroidery in soft jewel tones or warm tones.
