Spring is right around the corner, which means it’s probably time to start changing your little one’s wardrobe out. With the changes in seasons and sizes, shopping for new clothes can be fun, but it can also be expensive. So being able to recycle items or buy items that work for more than one season can go a long way! Here are a few simple ideas for how to easily transition your toddler’s winter wardrobe to a spring wardrobe.
Layers
Spring can be an unpredictable season. One minute it’s cold, and the next minute you’re sweating. To minimize outfit changes, layer your kiddos’ clothes. Consider starting out with a short-sleeved shirt and layering a light sweater on top. If it’s really cold, you can always put a heavier jacket on top. Hoodies are also great for layering.
If your little one loves wearing dresses, consider dressing them in tights and layering a cardigan over their dress. Again, these items are easily removable if the day gets too hot, and they can keep your little one warm if it doesn’t.
Outfits for all seasons
Consider getting a few items that can work for more than one season to include in your little’s wardrobe. Short-sleeved shirts are always great for layering, and you can’t go wrong with a light jacket or hoodie. You could also get your little one a toddler pinafore dress. If you haven’t heard of a pinafore dress, you’re missing out! Pinafore dresses are adorable and ruffly-some even have pockets. The best part is that you can layer a short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirt under them. So your little one can wear them in spring, summer, fall, or winter!
Accessories to stay warm
Despite what we may expect, spring can still be rather chilly. So consider having your little one wear accessories to help make playing outside a little less chilly. A hat, for example, will help keep their head warm. They can always take it off if they don’t need it.
Another great accessory is socks. Socks might sound a little boring, but making sure your kiddo is wearing colorful socks and shoes rather than sandals will keep them much warmer, and as an added bonus it’ll protect their feet. Last, but not least, a cute pair of gloves for your little one can be both stylish and warm. So if it’s cold outside, add a pair of gloves to your little’s hands.
Add some color
If all else fails, add some color! While neutral colors like brown, black, and gray can look great, adding a colorful hat, pair of gloves, or shoes can really dress up an outfit. Even adding something as simple as a colorful bow to your daughter’s hair can take an outfit from winter to spring without much of an investment.
So this spring, consider getting a few great staples like pinafore dresses and basic long and short-sleeved shirts to keep it versatile.
