That time of the season is about to be here again! It's time to dig out those cute layers of warm baby coats and jackets from the wardrobe and wrap the little ones from head to toe. While this age-old tradition of parents expressing their love for the little ones by wrapping them in multiple layers of warm jackets and baby coats continues, the modern world has brought together good alternatives by bringing in jacket options that are warm and comfortable yet stylish at the same time. But how do you choose the perfect baby winter coat or jacket, what are the modern styles and options available, and what are some recommended styling tips to ensure even the little one’s style is on point? Read on to find out: 

Keep these important factors in mind when picking out baby coats or jackets: 

• Is it season-appropriate? Gone are the days when jackets were just for the winter season. With current trends, you can also find jackets or shrugs for the summer and the pre-winter season. Make sure to choose one that is suited to the climate where you live. 

• Is the fabric suitable for the baby’s skin? Various fabric blends are used depending on the season, but they may or may not be gentle on a baby's sensitive skin. Given the sensitive skin of babies, it is important to ensure the fabrics used for baby coats or jackets are gentle to avoid irritations or rashes.  

• Is the baby comfortable? When choosing baby clothes, whether it’s jackets, coats, or anything else, ensuring your baby’s comfort is essential. Discomfort due to clothing worn may make them cranky and irritable. 

Types of Jackets:  

When it comes to a baby winter jacket, there’s a wide range of styles to explore. Here are a few of the top and most preferred choices: 

• Puffer Jacket: Featuring quilted designs and puffy sections, puffer jackets are designed to keep warm, especially in freezing weather. Known for their lightness as compared to wool or leather, puffer jackets are often filled with synthetic fibres like 100% polyester.  

• Flurry Baby Winter Jacket: A lightweight and travel-friendly option, a flurry baby winter jacket is equally comfortable for indoor wear. Made from fabrics like Sherpa, Velour, or Fur, it offers the perfect balance of warmth, comfort, and style. While the designs may vary, they all serve the same purpose of keeping babies cosy and snug in the winter weather.  

• Reversible Infant Winter Jacket: Offering versatility with diverse fabric blends on both sides, these jackets feature double-sided functionalities such as zippers and snap buttons for easy wearing, allowing you to switch seamlessly between two stylish looks.  

• Denim Jacket: Although available in multiple colours, denim jackets are predominantly blue and made from denim or fabric blends that resemble the looks of denim jeans. In contrast to the standard jackets that focus more on insulation, denim jackets are more renowned for their stylish appeal than for their warmth.

Style Tips for Baby Coats and Jackets:  

• Fun Prints & Themes: The trending jacket styles for babies and toddlers feature various fun themes and prints such as animal theme designs, stripers, geometric patterns, and attached ear-themed hoods for a fun and playful look. Pair these with solid-coloured bottoms to balance the look and style.  

• Reversible Jackets for 2-in-1 Style: Make sure your little one’s wardrobe includes a versatile winter wear option like a reversible jacket. A trendy clothing piece that allows you to effortlessly switch between two different looks, reversible jackets are a perfect choice for various occasions. Opt for the solid colour side for a simple, casual look or flip to the printed side for lively outdoor fun and activities. 

• Simplicity of Neutrals: Opt for a neutral-coloured infant winter coat or jacket and pair it with bold accessories and bottoms to make them a stand-out feature of the complete look. A versatile and stylish choice, neutral jackets are a go-to option that suits and works well for any occasion.  

• Accessorise the look: Complete the look with accessories that complement the jacket. Items like a hat or beanie cap, along with scarves and mittens, not only offer extra warmth but also elevate the complete look. For puffer jackets, boots make a great match, while soft booties and sneakers pair well with flurry or other jacket styles.  

• Sibling Matches: For a playful sibling look, opt for coordinating baby coats or jackets. Matching colours and styles will help you nail this look seamlessly! 

• Match the baby coats or jackets to the occasion: It’s essential to select baby coats or jackets that suit the occasion. For festive gatherings or outdoor adventures, choose vibrant jackets with fun themes and designs complemented by accessories like matching headbands, bows, or shoes. For casual wear, solid-colour jackets are a go-to choice.
