We are now truly in the Winter season, and each day is getting colder.
It is officially layering season, and it is crucial to keep the little ones wrapped up for outdoor play and those colder school days.
Our kids’ autumn/winter range is fantastic, and there is something for every kid’s personality and gives every parent reassurance that their little ones are nice and warm during the long Winter months.
Let’s look at what is available in our kids’ department, as well as understand the importance of layering.
Warm Knitwear
Knitwear is a great way to elevate any wardrobe at any time of the year.
It is a layer that can be easily added or removed. Whether it is a dressy look or a more relaxed style, we have plenty of options for you in-store and online.
We have knitwear from brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Vero Moda Girl, Name It and Mayoral.
All this knitwear is cosy, jumpers can be worn underneath coats and gilets, cardigans over lighter tops, and all can be styled with jeans or cute skirts and tights.
Soft and Fashionable Tights
For your little fashionistas, why not add an extra layer by adding a pair of tights to the look?
We have so many colour choices, perfect to complete any outfit or school uniform, still allowing any girly girls to wear dresses and skirts without the cold legs.
You can also wear tights underneath jeans, not giving a bulky look that thermal leggings may give, but keeping your little one equally as warm.
We love the tights we have from Pex, Mayoral and Name It, they are not only cute, but cosy too!
Stylish Jeans
Jeans are a great autumn/ winter staple that can dress up any outfit.
Opting for styles that are made from a heavy weight denim without holes or rips can provide good insulation.
Thermal leggings or tights can be worn underneath jeans to keep even warmer.
Brands such as Vero Moda Girl, and Levi's provide great denim options, allowing for some stylish winter outfits.
Heavy Coats
It is so important to make sure your little ones are wrapped up well, and a good coat that is waterproof as well as warm is perfect for them on colder, wetter days.
We also offer coats for good weather on dryer days, such as fleecy or teddy jackets, which also keep you warm.
A good coat with a hood is ideal to avoid getting soaked and sick.
Little Lighthouse, Guess, Columbia, and Hatley offer a great range of coats perfect for autumn/ winter for boys, girls and babies.
Cosy Fleeces
Kids' fleeces are versatile for this time of year, as well as comfortable for everyday wear.
Either dress them up with a pair of jeans or go casual with some leggings and Crocs.
We have a brilliant range of fleeces in-store, ones for everyone depending on their style and colour preferences, from patterned to full zip to half zips, the options are endless.
Boots and Wellies
We offer both wellies and fashionable boots for kids of all ages.
With plenty of colour options, there is a pair for everyone to completely lift any outfit.
Whether it is a day playing in the rain, school, or simply dressing for style, we have plenty of options in stock.
Why not layer thick tights or thicker socks underneath to keep them warm, while also keeping them dry?
At McElhinneys, we have a wide range of new Autumn/ Winter stock available for kids. Check out more kids clothing online here.
Until next time,
