Snow crunches underfoot, cheeks are rosy from the crisp air, and little ones sip hot chocolate by the fire after a day of winter adventures. Whether you’re headed to the slopes, a countryside retreat, or a festive city break, dressing your kids for warmth and style is essential - and fun!

Here’s your ultimate packing guide and outfit inspo to keep little ones cosy, comfy, and looking oh-so-stylish - wherever your winter adventures take you!

Winter Packing Essentials for Kids

• Cosy Knits: Think classic fairisle jumpers and soft cardigans - perfect for layering up against the chill.
• Warm Coats: From faux fur to snug zip-throughs, a good coat is a must for outdoor exploring.
• Stylish Accessories: Hats, gloves, and earmuffs keep the cold at bay while adding a playful, wintry touch.
• Loungewear & PJs: Snug, soft PJs are ideal for those cosy evenings spent curled up by the fire.
• Versatile Layers: Dresses, tops, and trousers that transition effortlessly from day to night.
• Practical Footwear: Sturdy, insulated boots are essential for keeping little toes warm and ready for snowy adventures.

Winter Getaway Outfit Inspiration

1. Après Ski Ready

Whether you’re unwinding in the stunning chalets of Courchevel or exploring the snowy magic of a Swiss alpine village, Après Ski style is all about staying warm while looking effortlessly chic. Snug knits like our Jules Brown Borg Ski Beaver Knit for boys or the Aspen Blue Ski Jumper for girls are made for fireside hot chocolates or snowball fights. Just layer up with thermals, and they’re ready to take on the slopes - or the après!

2. Frosty Village Explorer

Perfect for countryside retreats or pottering around a snowy village, this look blends cosy comfort with winter style. For the girls, pair the Peggy Jumper with denim and boots for a chic yet practical outfit. For the boys, the Connor Grey Ombre Funnel Neck with smart jeans is an effortlessly cool choice for braving the chill.

3. Fireside Lounging

For those snug evenings by a roaring fire, nothing beats Angel & Rocket’s PJ sets! Think family board games, steaming mugs of hot cocoa, and lazy evenings after fun-filled holiday adventures. The Andreas Navy Winter Print Pyjama and Stella Grey Leopard Heart PJs make the perfect cosy duo, ready to snuggle up with a favourite book or a fiercely competitive game of Monopoly!

4. City Break Chic

Exploring festive markets and settling in for lunch at quaint cafés or tearooms calls for layers that combine warmth and charm. Girls can rock the Cecile Coat with the Lyra Dress and chunky tights for a practical yet chic outfit, while boys will look sharp and stay snug in our Kobe Navy Quilted Jersey Jacket.

Winter Packing Tips

Make packing for your winter getaway a breeze with these practical tips:

• Roll, Don’t Fold: Rolling clothes saves space and helps reduce creases - great for packing jumpers and trousers.
• Snow-Ready Essentials: Especially if you’re heading somewhere snowy, make sure waterproof boots and a coat are at the ready!
• Layering Basics: Pack lightweight layers for warmth without the bulk - think cotton tees and breathable jumpers.
• Accessories Matter: Gloves, hats, and ear muffs may be small, but they’re mighty when it comes to keeping kids snug.
• Mix-and-Match: Opt for versatile pieces that work across multiple outfits, like our stylish dresses or comfy trousers.
• Easy-On, Easy-Off: Choose clothes with zips, elastic waists, or simple fastenings to make layering (and de-layering) quick and fuss-free.
• Don’t Forget the Extras: Spare gloves, cosy socks, and a small backpack for essentials are lifesavers!
