The Winter Edit: Cozy Layers for Everyday Adventures

Is it feeling a little chillier out? Time to layer up.

Winter dressing becomes a part of your little dreamer’s everyday adventure. There are layers to pull on, colours to choose and little personalities with very definite opinions. Our Winter Edit brings a playful spirit to getting dressed for the season, with pieces to mix, match and make their own.

Think everyday outfits with room for a little imagination. A familiar favourite worn a new way. A colour combination they picked themselves. Something cozy for wherever the day takes them.

Start with a comfortable base, add a warmer layer and choose outerwear suited to the weather and activity. Layers that come off easily make it simpler to move between chilly outings and warm indoor spaces.

From there, let their personality lead. Maybe they want colour from top to bottom. Maybe the same favourite pants are making their third appearance this week. A few pieces that work together give them options and give you one less thing to figure out before heading out the door.

For the Cold-Day Adventures

There’s plenty to discover when the temperature drops. Start with the Munchies Long Sleeve Tee in Redwood Burl and Cloud Hooded Sweatshirt in Oceanview, then add Cloud Lightweight Insulated Pants in Blueberry.

Finish with the Biscuits & Vine Waterproof Down Parka in Sea Blue for a blue-and-Toast combination that brings colour to grey days. From neighbourhood walks to a stop at their favourite bakery, it’s an outfit to build the day around.

For Little Outings with Big Possibilities

A little bakery stop, a library visit, a long way home. Layer the Cozy Croissants Knit Sweater over the Munchies Long Sleeve Tee in Sea Salt, then pair with Cozy Crumbs Pants in Sea Blue. Playful croissants and corduroy texture bring extra character to an everyday outfit. 

Finish with the Biscuits & Vine Waterproof Down Jacket in Biscuit Banter. Its waterproof outer shell and removable down jacket can be worn together or separately, giving little explorers more ways to layer as the weather changes.

For Playtime, Story Time and Everything Between

Some days start with building blocks and end inside a blanket fort. Pair the Smiley Plate Velcro Sweatshirt in Pebble Grey with Cloud Joggers in Pebble Grey for an easy outfit with a playful finish. A Munchies Oversized Tee in Oceanview underneath gives them another option when the sweatshirt comes off and play carries on.

Taking the adventure outside? Add the Biscuits & Vine Waterproof Down Jacket in You’re So Vine. The print brings a playful twist to the matching grey layers, with a removable inner down jacket for more ways to wear it.

The best-loved clothes rarely stay in just one outfit. Give a new top a turn with their favourite pants. Try a different layer over a familiar combination. Pick out a colour from a print and repeat it somewhere else in the outfit.

For an easy place to start:

• Let one piece lead. Build the outfit around the colour or print they’re most excited to wear.
• Bring in a familiar favourite. New arrivals can work alongside pieces they already know and love.
• Offer a little choice. Two tops or two colour combinations can give them a say without emptying the whole drawer.

Some combinations will be carefully considered. Others will happen in about three seconds. Both count.

Choose everyday layers according to the temperature, the activity and how much time your child will spend outside. A comfortable base and an additional layer can give you flexibility, while outdoor clothing should suit the actual conditions.

For snowy, wet or particularly cold days, check the specifications of their outerwear. An everyday jacket or cozy outfit may need to be paired with dedicated weather protection.

The Winter Edit can be part of their seasonal wardrobe, with the rest of the outfit chosen for wherever they’re headed.

Winter has its little rituals. Finding a mitten in the wrong pocket. Choosing a favourite colour. Taking the long way home because there’s something interesting to see.

Our Winter Edit is here for the everyday outfits along the way. Discover new favourites, try a different combination and leave a little room for whatever they dream up next.
