It feels like just yesterday we were shopping for the back-to-school season. Yet, here we are heading towards the colder months already, wondering how to resourcefully winterize our children’s wardrobes with some of the clothes we just bought for them. As a mom, I’m always on the lookout for clothing that helps my kids to stay confident and comfortable throughout the day, and OshKosh clothing has been a great find.

Fortunately, this winter’s look can be summarized in one word – layering. Adding just a few layer-friendly pieces to your child’s clothing collection can turn their fall wardrobes into warm, stylish winter ensembles. Check out these cold weather fashion essentials from OshKosh B’gosh to help you find the layering inspiration you’re looking for:

Add Flare with Outerwear – Outerwear is the most critical element of this winter’s clothing collection because your child will depend on their outer layer to comfortably endure the chilly months ahead. Cheerfully colored jackets and coats will make a great first impression on top of any outfit, and a stylish vest can serve as an indispensable outerwear piece. From Sherpa vests and puffer vests, to faux fur hooded jackets, outerwear will help your child to make an impressive fashion statement. Check out OshKosh B’gosh’s Outerwear Shop for boys, girls, toddlers and babies for the latest fashion pieces this season.

Keep it Classy with Cardigans – Layering a cardigan – a.k.a. “Cardi” – over a button-front shirt or long-sleeve top keeps kids warm and adds a bit of style to an ensemble.  For instance, OshKosh’s Floral Peasant Top can be paired with their Neon Colorblock Cardi and a pair of jeans. Or, the Neon Fair Isle Cardi, available in Girl and Baby sizes, can be worn with a tunic and stretchy corduroy pants.

Leggings & Tights – Leggings and tights are some of the most cozy, chic ways to modify an outfit. Cable-knit or sparkle tights can be added under any skirt from the closest and combined with a cute blouse, like the Floral Peasant Top mentioned above. Or, brightly colored leggings can be teamed with a TLC tunic or lengthy sweater. Throw on a pair of comfy faux suede boots and your child’s winter outfit is complete!

Casual Pullovers – Boys and girls can take their pick from a variety of comfy “pullover” style fleeces and “cozies” this winter. Boys will love the latest relaxed styles from OshKosh, including the Hooded Colorblock Nep Yarn Pullover, Raglan Pullovers and B’Gosh Half Zip Fleece Cozies. Girls will also go crazy over the newest Quarter Zip Fleece Cozies, which are designed with lively prints and neon colors.

Versatile Button-Fronts for Boys (Laidback or Buttoned-Up) – Whether your guy loves the laidback look or prefers to be buttoned-up, you can’t go wrong with one of Osh Kosh’s Plaid button-front shirts or Button-front Herringbone shirts. For an easy-going look on a chilly day, your little dude can throw a button-front plaid shirt over a long-sleeve tee and a pair of jeans. Or, if he prefers a more polished appearance, he can wear the same shirt buttoned all the way up with a pair of slacks or nicer jeans. Having a versatile shirt that gives two totally different looks is a great way to save money this winter.
