Winter clothing for babies + children
In Switzerland, «Winterkleider» simply means clothing for the cold season. Here you will find around 270 pieces for autumn and winter: bodysuits, leggings, tights, jumpers, gilets, jackets, hats and sleepsuits from Engel, Silly Silas, snug, FRICKZACK, Búho, Claude + Co, Leevje, Hvid, organic zoo and BINIBAMBA.
Warm in three layers
Dressing warmly does not mean bundling up thickly. Several thin layers work best, as explained in our guide to layering your baby.
- First layer: close-fitting basics such as the Baby Body Langarm, Kinder Longsleeve or Kinder-Leggings, plus Silly Silas tights with braces.
- Second layer: warming pieces such as the Wollfleece Kapuzenjacke, the Baby Cardigan, the Sweater Waffel or gilets such as the Kids Vest Harvey and the Amos Folk Gilet.
- Third layer: an outdoor jacket such as the Timber 2-in-1 Jacke. You will find more jackets, overalls and boots under Outdoor.
Wool or cotton?
Merino wool still keeps you warm when it gets a little damp, and it rarely needs washing. Engel sometimes combines merino wool with silk, and Hvid works with merino knits. Cotton is easy to care for and suits indoor wear and children who sweat quickly. You will find a detailed comparison in our guide merino wool or cotton. For very cold days there is also thermal wear, and you will find hats, scarves and mittens under Gloves + scarves.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if my child is dressed too warmly? Feel the back of the neck: warm and dry is good, sweaty means one layer less. Cold hands alone do not tell you much.
Does my baby need more layers in the pram? Yes, because lying in the pram means hardly moving. A sleepsuit or an extra layer of wool will keep your baby warm.
How do I wash woollen winter clothes? On the wool cycle with wool detergent, then dry them flat. Often it is enough to air the pieces outside.
