The Art of layering

Now that the days are getting shorter, and the cool autumn breeze is setting in, it’s a good time to consider how the change to cold weather can present some unique challenges in your child’s wardrobe. As if getting the little ones groomed and ready weren’t difficult enough, now you have to figure out how to keep your child warm without making them feel like an overstuffed burrito. Too many layers can restrict your child’s movement, and stiff, stuffy clothing can leave children feeling uncomfortable and irritated.

The Art of Layering:

Children tend to be  more active than adults, and all that running around and playing leads to fluctuating temperatures. They quickly get hot when playing, but the minute the fun stops, they get cold again. Show your children how to add layers when they are cold and take off layers when they get too warm. Functional layering such as wearing a spaghetti, over a cotton t-shirt, can help your child decide which layer to remove before they get all hot and sweaty. Remember, dressing your child in too many layers can cause them to sweat excessively, causing them to feel cold regardless of how many layers they are wearing.
