Knowing how to dress your kids warm and layer their clothes properly during the cold weather is one of the hardest things ever. So, here is how to layer your kids’ clothes during the cold weather:

  • Base layer
  • Make sure to dress your kids a high-quality base layer right over their underwear. Base layers increase the overall body temperature and provide a layer of warmth throughout the day.

    Dress your kids in a thermal long-sleeved top as well as thermal tight bottoms as their base layer.

  • T-shirt
  • Layer a light short-sleeved or long-sleeved t-shirt over the base layer for extra warmth. This will give your kids an extra layer of warmth and act as a protective insulation layer against the heat.

    If the weather is not super cold you can easily remove this layer.

  • Sweatshirt or jumper
  • Whether you choose to add the extra t-shirt layer or not, make sure to dress your kids in a stylish sweatshirt or a woolen jumper because this is the layer that will be seen.

    Make sure the sweatshirt or jumper is heavy to provide enough warmth for you kids but not too heavy that it will feel bulky and uncomfortable if worn with a jacket over it.

  • High-quality heavy jacket
  • A high-quality heavy jacket is the last layer of clothes for your kids. So, it is really important that it is both functional and stylish.

    Make sure to choose a jacket that is heavy and waterproof to provide that last layer of protection against the cold and of course protect your kids from getting all wet during the rain.

  • Pants
  • For the bottoms you do not really to add so many layers to keep your kids warm, just dress them in their regular jeans or pants over their base layer.

  • Warm socks
  • Keeping the feet warm is the key secret to keeping your kids warm. So, make sure to keep their feet in long and warm woolen socks. This will help in keeping their entire body warm as well as protecting their feet from the cold.

  • High-quality shoes
  • Make sure to invest in a high-quality-shoes to keep your kids warm and cozy. Choose a pair of thick padded shoes or boots to act as the last barrier between your kids’ feet and the cold.

    Make sure that the shoes are also waterproof to avoid your kids’ socks from getting wet during the rain.
