Tot fashion is more important in the winter than at any other time of the year because it’s truly about function. You don’t want your little one’s nose to be as red as Rudolph’s, so bundling up is key! My favorite thing to do in tot winter wardrobes is combine classic pieces with fun little add-ons (like the bear mittens!). Tots don’t really care how they look – they just like to have fun! Here are the Snob Winter Essentials for little boys and girls:
Boys
Jacket: Add Down Toddler’s & Little Boy’s Hooded Down Jacket: Down jackets are an absolute must for tots who love to play in the snow. They keep you warm and also soften the blow of snowball fights!
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $203.
Boots: Armani Junior Toddler’s & Little Boy’s Leather Work Boots: These adorable leather boots will have your little guy looking all grown-up. Plus, his toes will stay toasty warm!
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $126.
Hat: Tane Organics Explorer Knit Hat: There are a lot of cute hats for tots, but if they don’t cover your ears, I don’t bother. No one wants numb ears!
At Barneys New York for $64.
Sweater: Baby CZ Crewneck Cashmere Sweater: Warm cashmere decorated with elbow patches for some more grown-up style!
At Barneys New York for $242.
Mittens: Portolano Kids Bear Mittens: I picked these because they’ll be fun for your tot, but I also chose them because with the string connecting them, he can’t lose them (or can he??).
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $36.
Girls
Jacket: Appaman Hooded Puffy Jacket : For a little princess, even a sensible down jacket needs some glam, so pink it is!
At Barneys New York for $118.
Boots: Pediped Flex Blaze Berry: We may suffer in painful footwear, but it’s much too soon for your tot to be doing that! These cute suede boots are made with the proper arch to help her feet keep developing on schedule (and with removable insoles, the fit can be loosened as she grows).
On Pediped for $69.
Hat: Neiman Marcus Cashmere Bow Hat: Yep, more pink – ask your daughter if she likes it, and she’ll tell you there’s never enough! I promise.
At Neiman Marcus for $50.
Sweater: Chloé Long Sleeve Button Cardigan: Sequins are another tot fave! This beige Chloé is pure collared sophistication (if only they made it for adults, too!).
At Barneys New York for $168.
Mittens: Neiman Marcus Cashmere Bow Gloves: These precious bow gloves will match the hat perfectly – until she loses one of them (no loss-prevention string here, so keep an eye on them!).
At Neiman Marcus for $48.
