Trust us, if your tiny tot is free to move their arms and legs freely to play with their toys and crawl around the living room floor- they’ll be happy! While toddlers may be too young to know or even care about what they’re wearing as long as they’re comfortable, it sure does make for cute pictures and guarantees that your little one will receive a lot of ooh’s and aah’s as family, friends and even strangers admire them in pretty dresses or cute dungarees

Fashion for toddlers is therefore not necessarily aimed at your children, but you! So what’s stopping you from purchasing that mini gilet that matches the one you inherited or even the pretty floral dress in the same shade and pattern as yours. This means that you and your mini-me can have coordinated outfits every time you step out of the house.

When it comes to dressing your little one up, it’s virtually impossible to resist the cutest items around – but when they are also items that you love the most too, let’s just say that the the world isn’t even ready for the levels of cuteness!

Cute corduroys and pretty florals are go-to fabrics when keeping your little ones warm this season. They’re cool and comfortable clothing that’s also chic. Just because mom’s tend to dress their kids in the hand me downs of older siblings or buy their kids clothing 5 sizes too big so that they can “grow into it” doesn’t mean that you should do the same with your little one.

Torn, dirtied clothing that is uncomfortably oversized won’t make for a happy tot. The must-have items that are perfect for exploring the big, beautiful world are classic dungarees, graphic tops, cuffed jeans and jackets. Don’t forget that Autumn is all about layering so pair long sleeved t-shirts under dungarees and pair a fuzzy gilet over your little one’s dress for added warmth.

As a parent you should encourage active play with your kids. Try not to prevent them from playing outside even when the weather turns gloomy. Just ensure that they’re wearing enough layers in the form of a vest, tights or a coat. Don’t forget that playing is a high energy activity which causes kids to warm up quite quickly. Layering allows your kids to take off that extra jacket, beanie or scarf they left the house in but still allows them to stay protected from the cold. On the other hand, over layering your kids with clothing that cannot be removed conveniently is a no-no. With the way kids run around this might lead to overheating or your kids getting sick.

Investing in durable pieces such as jackets, jeans and corduroys are the most practical option in colder months. Durable clothing will ensure that your kids are kept warm throughout Autumn and winter. Preferably opt for jackets that are lightweight and waterproof. These are easier to carry around and instantly add a little extra warmth when it’s most needed.
