Winter brings its own kind of magic, especially when kids are dressed for every frosty adventure. Without proper clothing, the seasonal magic just loses its sparkle!
Choosing sustainable outerwear for kids keeps little ones warm while also supporting materials and brands that care for the planet. With the right layers, any walk, puddle jump, or snowy play day becomes a moment to explore, not endure.
Here’s what to look for!
What To Look For in Outerwear for Kids?
Winter outerwear focuses on warmth and functionality. So, first think, will this protect my little one? And are they comfortable?
You should also consider eco-friendly materials to protect the Earth, too. Sustainable pieces balance durability with softness, creating layers kids actually want to wear.
Below is a quick checklist to have handy when you start shopping:
Soft fleeces that provide lightweight warmth
Cozy hats that stay snug during outdoor play
Weather ready raincoats made with recycled materials
Insulated layers that keep warmth in without added bulk
Durable fabrics designed to handle changing winter conditions
Protecting shoes made from waterproof materials

1. Raincoats
A good raincoat keeps kids splashing happily rather than running for cover. Waterproof or water resistant styles made with recycled materials are both practical and planet friendly.
The Wynken April Down Jacket and the Wynken Summit Down Coat are great options, filled with duck down and fastened with a zip and popper method for complete protection.
2. Fleeces
Okay, these aren’t technically outwear. Fleeces are the go to mid layer.
They trap warmth, dry quickly, and feel soft enough for all day wear. Recycled fleece is a great sustainable choice that still offers reliable insulation.
Add colorful warmth with the heart-print Fluffy Fleece Jacket or keep it minimal with the Marleyk Teddy Fleexe Jacket in grey.

3. Warm Hats
A warm hat can make the biggest difference on cold days. Pick soft knits or fleece lined styles that stay put during outdoor play.
The Blueberry Hill is a classic pom-pom hat in cream, perfect for every occaision and outfit. However, you can amp up the cute-factor with the Bunny Ear Hat, a 100% cotton cap for 6 to 12 month olds.

4. Gloves & Scarfs
Insulated gloves and cozy scarfs protect small hands and necks from chilly winds. Look for adjustable cuffs and snug fits so pieces stay on while kids stay busy.
5. Warm Trousers
Don’t forget to protect their legs! Durable trousers make a big difference. Look for thick fabrics like corduroy or denim for year-round protection.
The Wynken April Jeans work for all seasons, and feature funky floral motifs on the front knees. Or if your little one is a little star, the Mipunet Star Jeans in light pink will be the perfect match!
Last Thoughts
With the right children’s outerwear, winter becomes an invitation to explore. Sustainable choices help kids stay warm and ready for every frosty adventure ahead.
