Transition jackets + vests

Transitional jackets & vests for children: Light & protective

When temperatures fluctuate between seasons, transitional jackets and vests are the perfect choice. They are lightweight, block wind and light rain and slip on easily. Vests keep the torso warm without restricting arm movement – ideal for active children. Jackets made from softshell or fleece provide extra protection and may come with hoods.

Materials & care

Softshell materials are wind‑ and water‑repellent and well suited for spring or autumn. Fleece jackets keep children warm and wick moisture away. Wash jackets rarely and air them out instead to preserve the coating. Vests made from cotton blends are comfortable and suitable for mild temperatures. Wash them at low temperatures to protect the fibres.

Combinations & layering

On chilly mornings, layer a vest over a long‑sleeved shirt and add a jacket if needed. Pair transitional jackets with sandals on sunny days or with socks and shoes when it’s cooler. Children’s room lamps create a cosy atmosphere when getting changed. At night, opt for soft nightwear & pyjamas when you take off the jacket after a long day.

Gift ideas & trends

Transitional jackets and vests are practical gifts that get lots of use. Pastel colours, colour blocking and reflective details are currently popular. Look for adjustable hoods and elastic cuffs so the jacket fits perfectly. Complement your gift with a pair of fingerless gloves or a headband to keep ears warm. This way your child is well prepared for changeable weather and looks stylish too.
