As the nights draw in and leaves begin to fall, it’s time to get the kids kitted out in cosy clothes for the season ahead
Good news: the transition into autumn doesn’t require a big restock of our wardrobes like it used to. With a renewed spotlight on sustainability and saving in all respects, dressing children these days is about blending hand-me-downs, secondhand buys and investment pieces that will last with what still fits in their wardrobes. With its focus on quality tactile fabrics the new John Lewis & Partners’ kids’ range is a case in point: warm clothes like chunky-knit cardigans, padded gilets and cord dungarees that will work with a multitude of other pieces. ‘Emphasis this season is on warm autumnal colours, cosy layering, and soft knitwear,’ says Partner & Designer, Andrew Lambert. ‘The overall trend is about adventure and connecting with nature and the outdoors.’ Roll on those autumn walks in the park.
