Winter Essentials For Your Baby Or Child

Dresses & Skirts

When it’s cold outside there are a few essentials you’ll need for your children:
Wellington Boots
Wellies are great for winter time. Children love them and they are great for playing outside and keeping feet warm and dry. Remember to buy the right size, which might be slightly larger than they need for their shoes because they’ll need to wear thick socks underneath to keep them toasty. You can get some lovely classic designs at very.co.uk for boys or girls.
Dress boots (for girls)
A great pair of versatile girls dress boots is a must have during winter. The best known make of course is Ugg, and there’s a good selection of those on Very.co.uk at very competitive prices.
A woolly hat
It’s important to stop too much heat-loss through your baby’s head. Very.co.uk has a range of stylish hats for children (including on-trend trappers for boys) and some gorgeous sets of hats, gloves and bootees for baby – my favourite is the Ladybird set with a penguin design that would look great on girls or boys.
Gloves and matching scarves
Keep your little ones’ fingers toasty, since their extremities can suffer badly from the cold. Many gloves come with matching hat and scarves (although avoid scarves for very young babies) and look adorable. Check out very.co.uk for some ideas on children and baby clothing – many come in sets with hats for that touch of co-ordination.
Ear muffs
Ear muffs are great for keeping those other extremities – ears – warm. Children love them, too.
Tights (for girls)
Tights are fab for girls and come in all sorts of colours so you can match them to their outfits. In France it’s quite normal for boys to wear tights too, underneath their trousers since their legs can get a bit cold and drafty. If you’re brave enough, there are plenty of dark coloured tights that would look like socks to all but the closest inspection and your little lad might feel a bit better for it!
