Winter outfits for kids don’t have to be boring dark tones. We say dress them in gorgeous pastel shades that are warm, cosy and oh-so-cool.
With the cooler weather well on its way, prep your little ones’ wardrobes in dreamy pastels for the first signs of autumn. While powdery pinks, milky whites and dreamy creams might seem less obvious for cool-weather dressing, this pretty palette will stand out as cute and cosy.

Pair pastels with neutrals
The feeling’s neutral! Don’t be afraid to mix a fully rose-tinted wardrobe with neutral tones. Pretty pinks and crisp creams paired with durable fabrics such as denim allow for a fashion-forward finish for tiny fashionistas. Pastels look incredible offset against dashes of dove grey as well. These neutrals will help balance the ultra-girly nature of pastels perfectly. It's quite basic – make your princess’s pastel pieces pop by keeping the rest of her colour palette simple.

Sweet little layers
A pastel palette is perfect for cocooning. Make her special moments especially stylish with multiple layers that take a basic outfit to the next level (and are handy for those days when the weather simply can’t make up its mind). Pop on some pink leggings under statement dresses and finish with snazzy sneakers, for a look that’s equal parts smart and sweet.
Treat her to a tutu
Take miniature dressing to the next level with fresh girly pieces that amplify style and fun. Cupcake-inspired pastels will ensure girls feel like princesses and ballerinas every day of the week. Charming and cheerful dresses and tulle tutus can conjure up a smile on even the greyest of days. Simply toss a tutu or dress over leggings for a twirl-worthy look she’ll love as much as you do.
Pink and denim
For your little explorer’s fun-filled days, just add wear-all-day denim! New sorbet shades make a softer statement when offset against durable denim – because pink was born to be worn with baby blue. This playful colour combo is kids’ cues for autumn adventures and will ensure girls look as good as they feel.

Beanies for her
If you’re not all that sure about incorporating sugary-shades from top to bottom, don’t fret, knitted beanies are both practical and pretty, and are great for introducing pastel colour into her wardrobe.
