Kids’ Mid-Season Fashion: Expertly through Spring and Autumn
What is most fun in Spring or Autumn? Puddles, mud, and rain showers! While we adults duck for cover, the little ones are just getting started. We show you how to get your children ready for Autumn and Spring with the right transition jacket and matching kids' fashion.
Layer by layer, more fun outdoors
Mid-season fashion for children has one main job: to keep the little ones comfortable in any weather without restricting their urge to move. When you can’t predict the morning weather or temperatures, clever layering is the only answer: start with a shirt, add a sweater, and round it all off with a cardigan or transition jacket. If temperatures rise, you can effortlessly remove layers.
Ideally, the layers closest to the body should consist of natural fibers like wool-silk or cotton, while water-repellent fabrics for the outer layer protect against surprise showers. The transition jacket should feature reflectors to ensure better visibility. Wind-proof details, such as cuffs with Velcro fasteners and high collars, are also a clever choice.
Mid-season outfits for little puddle-jumpers
Who can resist a big, inviting puddle?! That’s why wellies are the perfect shoes for the transition. They are colorful, easy to put on and take off, and surprisingly flexible. Modern kids' models feature many smart details—such as write-on name tags for daycare, colorful lights for better visibility in gloomy weather, or soft inner linings with different warmth levels. Most importantly, however, is the treaded sole, which prevents unwanted slips on wet leaves or rainy paths.
Accessories for wind and weather
Whether saying goodbye to winter or summer, the transition between seasons is also cold season. To ensure your little ones start the next season healthy, they shouldn't leave the house without warm socks, a matching hat, and a neck warmer. Depending on the weather, a light scarf and a cap might be enough, while some mornings require full wool gear, including gloves.
It’s best to choose accessories that aren't easily lost—like snoods and hats with ties. Because things can still go missing during all the running and playing, it’s always worth having a few extra pairs in the wardrobe.
