Covert Cover-Ups

The sound of children laughing, the ice cream truck’s infamous jingle echoing in the background—it can only mean one thing: springtime is here! The weather seems just right for kids to shed their bulky winter wardrobes and play outside. But spring weather can be far from predictable, and with temperatures across the nation fluctuating on average from 60 degrees to just above freezing, your child will need to dress accordingly for the varying weather conditions.

Kids tend to be fairly more active than adults, and all that running around and playing combined with sudden rain falls and seasonal shifts leads to fluctuating temperatures. It’s not always easy to convince children to cover up when the weather suddenly gets cooler. But there are some key wardrobe items you can use to keep them well protected, without having to face the battle of making them wear extra protective clothing.

Because of its excellent temperature control properties, cotton is an ideal for irregular weather conditions- breathable enough to keep your child cool during warm weather, and the perfect layering essential when the temperature drops below its seasonal average. Check out these stylishly clever children’s cover-ups for a selection of layering essentials that will keep your child comfortable and happy.
