How to dress your baby for the season without breaking the bank

Dressing baby: a seasonal challenge

Babies grow at an astonishing rate, especially during their first year. Investing in a complete wardrobe can quickly become expensive. Here are our tips for dressing your baby well according to the seasons, without spending a fortune. Discover our entire Baby Clothes & Bathrobes collection for all seasons.

☀️ Summer: lightness and protection

In summer, the priority is to keep baby cool while protecting them from the sun:

• 100% cotton short-sleeved or sleeveless bodysuits
• Light shorts or skirts
• Wide-brimmed hat — see our Baby Hats & Beanies
• Protective sunglasses — discover our Baby UV400 Sunglasses
• Avoid synthetics that make you sweat
• Bring a light cardigan for air-conditioned places

🍂 Autumn: layering up

The golden rule in autumn: layer up to easily adapt the outfit to temperature changes:

• Long-sleeved cotton bodysuit
• Light sweater or sweatshirt over it
• Cotton or velvet trousers
• Warm socks
• Jacket or cardigan for outings

❄️ Winter: warmth and safety

In winter, baby should be warm without being too covered (risk of overheating):

• Warm pajamas or thick sleeping bag for the night — see our Baby Sleep Accessories collection
• Thermal bodysuit as a first layer
• Warm sweater or sweatshirt
• Snowsuit or coat for outings
• Hat and mittens — see our Baby Hats & Beanies
• ⚠️ Warning: never a coat in the car seat!

🌱 Spring: preparing for transition

• Long and short-sleeved bodysuits to have both
• Leggings and light trousers
• Light jacket or cardigan for cool days
• Light raincoat for rainy days

💰 Tips to save money

• Buy a size up: baby will grow fast!
• Prioritize basics: plain bodysuits, pajamas, and leggings are more versatile
• Buy second-hand: baby clothes are often worn very little
• Take advantage of sales: buy for the next season in advance
• Choose quality materials: organic cotton lasts longer and is better for baby's skin
