Fashion can often get confusing once winter comes--which scarf goes with which dress?  Should I wear jeans, leggings, or tights with these boots?  Should I wear a cardigan or put a long-sleeved shirt under my blouse?  With more clothes comes more to consider!

That's why we are going to make things simple this winter--focus on the outerwear!  Let's face it, if your kids are going to be out and about in the cold weather, not only are your clothes going to be covered, but staying warm and toasty is a priority.  We aren't saying that they shouldn't dress appropriately underneath, but the outerwear is just as important.

First this season:  PUFFER COATS!  Everywhere in Hollywood, celebrities' little ones are rocking these little jackets!  Coming in an unlimited supply of fun colors and styles--long and fitted to short with hoodies--there are enough options for any child to find one that suits him or her perfectly!  Not only will they look stylish, but the weather-resistant fabric options will help keep them happy and healthy throughout the season!

However, jackets aren't the only way to stay cozy while making a statement!  Wool and knitted hats--especially those with pom poms--are very popular this season.  Moms like Naomi Watts and Camila Alves bundle up their sons with the addition of these cute caps in fun patterns, giving otherwise ordinary outfits some fun flare!  This trend does not only apply to little boys, however.  Hats, especially those meant for cold-weather, tend to be neutral and can be worn by those of all ages and genders!

Overall, remember that winter is a time full of not only fashion, but family and fun holidays.  If you keep your kids bundled up and looking their best in warm, weather-appropriate styles, you are sure to come back with lots of love, memories and a packed photo album!
