1. Layering – The Key to Dressing Right

Spring temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day, so layering is a smart strategy:

  • Base layer: Lightweight and comfortable cotton garments like t-shirts and leggings.
  • Mid layer: A thin fleece or wool jumper for cooler days.
  • Outer layer: A windproof and water-repellent jacket or shell overall for windy and rainy days.

2. Outerwear for Spring Weather

  • Shell jacket or lightweight overall: Perfect for grey days and keeps your child dry.
  • Rainwear: A raincoat and trousers made from waterproof materials are ideal for outdoor play in the rain.
  • Hat and gloves: Lighter versions in cotton or wool are great for chilly mornings.

3. Footwear for Outdoor Play and Walks

  • Wellies: Essential for rainy days and muddy playgrounds.
  • Trainers or lightweight boots: For dry days when the weather is warming up.
  • Sandals: If the warm weather arrives early, it’s good to have airy shoes ready.

4. Sun Protection and Accessories

  • Sunhat or cap: Protects against the bright spring sun.
  • Sunglasses: Important for shielding sensitive eyes.
  • UV clothing: Ideal for longer periods in the sun.
  • Light blanket: Handy for the pram or car when it gets a bit chilly.

5. Practical Tips for the Spring Wardrobe

  • Choose comfortable materials – Cotton and performance fabrics keep your child dry and cosy.
  • Go for adjustable fits – Clothes with cuffs and elastic waistbands grow with your child.
  • Think sustainably – Reuse, buy second-hand, or invest in high-quality clothing that lasts.
