LAYER UP

Autumn might just be the best season to experiment with kids' clothing. You can leave the house in the morning to crisp, cool temperatures, only for the afternoon to warm up and the sun to come out. A thick winter coat is still far too warm, but a T-shirt on its own is simply too chilly. The perfect solution for this unpredictable season? Layering!

Putting together an outfit with different layers not only creates a comfortable and practical autumn look, but also adds an extra touch of style. Combine different colours, prints and materials to create a fun, cool or trendy outfit for every autumn day.

Try wearing a longsleeve underneath a sweater or a bodywarmer over a hoodie. With the right layers, both boys and girls are ready for autumn in style.

Why layering is perfect for kids

Kids are on the move all day long. Playing outside, cycling to school, running around the playground or spending an afternoon in the woods can make it feel surprisingly warm outside.

That is exactly why layering kids' clothing is so practical. Is it chilly in the morning? Simply add an extra layer, such as a warm sweater, bodywarmer or lightweight jacket. Does it get warmer later in the day? Just take a layer off. This makes it easy to adapt an outfit to the weather as well as to whatever the day has in store.

And layering certainly doesn't have to be boring. By combining different pieces, you can create a fun and playful outfit with plenty of personality.

The perfect base: start with a longsleeve

A good longsleeve top for kids is a real autumn essential. It is slightly warmer than a T-shirt, while still being light enough to wear as a first layer.

Pair a longsleeve with a sweater or jumper for the perfect combination on a crisp autumn day. Choose two colours that complement each other or go for a contrasting combination. A neutral sweater paired with a longsleeve in a bold colour instantly adds an interesting twist to the outfit.

You can also have fun with prints. For example, wear a plain sweater over a longsleeve with a cool print, allowing the print to subtly peek out at the cuffs and neckline.

Add a sweater and you're ready to go!

A sweater is, of course, one of the favourite autumn staples for both boys and girls. Comfortable, easy to style and perfect as a second layer.

For boys, try combining a cool sweater with a longsleeve and jeans or a comfortable pair of trousers. For girls, a printed sweater paired with wide-leg trousers or trendy jeans makes a great combination.

And don't forget to play around with different colours. Autumn clothing certainly doesn't have to be limited to brown, beige and black. A bold pop of colour against more neutral tones can instantly make an outfit stand out.

Fashion tip: let a small part of the bottom layer show. A colourful neckline, sleeve or hem immediately adds more depth and dimension to the outfit.

The bodywarmer: this season's must-have extra layer

One of the real highlights of our latest collection is the bodywarmer for boys and girls. A bodywarmer is ideal for those typical autumn days when a winter coat is still too warm, but a sweater on its own isn't quite enough.

Wear a bodywarmer over a sweater for a cool, sporty look, or pair it with a longsleeve when the temperature is a little higher. For both boys and girls, a bodywarmer is a versatile piece that can be styled in lots of different ways.

What's more, a bodywarmer instantly gives an outfit an extra stylish edge. A simple pair of jeans and a longsleeve can be transformed into a complete autumn look simply by adding a bodywarmer.

Play with colours, prints and materials

The best thing about layering? You can mix and match endlessly.

For example:

Colour on colour: combine different shades of the same colour for a calm and trendy look.

Contrast: pair a neutral base with a brightly coloured statement piece.

Prints: a subtle print underneath a plain sweater creates a playful effect.

Materials: combine a soft sweater with a cool, structured bodywarmer.

Sporty and casual: a hoodie or sweater with a bodywarmer and comfortable trousers is perfect for active days.

Combining different materials and textures also makes an outfit much more interesting. For example, a smooth bodywarmer layered over a soft sweater creates a stylish contrast.

Autumn outfits for boys: cool and comfortable

For boys, the perfect autumn outfit is often all about comfort, freedom of movement and a cool look. Luckily, you can have all three.

A longsleeve for boys makes a great base layer. Add a sweater or hoodie and, when it gets a little cooler outside, layer a bodywarmer on top. Complete the look with jeans, cargo trousers or comfortable joggers.

For an extra cool look, combine darker and neutral shades. But remember: a bold pop of colour can also add a surprising and stylish accent.

Autumn outfits for girls: endless possibilities

Autumn also offers endless styling possibilities for girls. A longsleeve for girls underneath a sweater, combined with jeans, joggers or leggings, makes a comfortable outfit for both school and free time.

Add a bodywarmer or gilet to complete the look. Go for a sporty style with sneakers or opt for a more casual combination.

And of course, don't be afraid to play with colour. A cheerful shade, eye-catching print or interesting material can completely transform a simple outfit.

From a crisp morning to a sunny afternoon

One of the biggest advantages of layering is that you don't need a completely different outfit for every temperature. Start with a longsleeve and sweater, for example. If the morning is particularly chilly, simply add a bodywarmer on top.

When the sun comes out later, the bodywarmer can come off. If it gets even warmer, the sweater can come off too, leaving the longsleeve as the perfect final layer.

This way, your child stays comfortable throughout the day without you having to wonder every morning which jacket or outfit will be suitable.
