From cosy knits to mini borg jackets, the best kids clothes for autumn
Treat your little ones to these fresh 'fits
It’s no secret that kids grow FAST, so you don't want to be spending a lot of clothes they'll be too big for in a few months. However, we sometimes can't resist adding adorable new buys to our basket.
As a parent of two, I’ve learnt first-hand that buying quality pieces in unisex shapes means they last longer, can be passed down to siblings, and often retain a fantastic re-sale value on sites such as Vinted. Stick to similar colour palettes and everything becomes mix-and-match and can be chucked in the same wash.
And, thankfully, with the new autumn ranges dropping in-store and online, there's a new excuse (not that I need one) to indulge.

Whether you’ve got a teeny tiny bundle of joy, a sassy seven-year-old who knows exactly what they want to wear, or a toddler who’s all fingers and thumbs but WILL do it by themselves, these are the best children's clothes to add to your basket now.
Organic Zoo's new Cosy & Wild collection is filled with designs that celebrate the wild outdoors and the warmth of home. Super cute and oh-so-cosy.
The brand has collaborated with two incredible artists for the range, including illustrator See You See Me, who specialises in playful hand-drawn designs in pastels and pencils, and wallpaper designer Abigail Edwards, who captures the movement and energy of stormy seas.
H&M's Adorables range is pretty hard to resist right now. These hard-wearing corduroy trousers come in olive green, navy and light pink, and there are super adorable dungarees for younger ones.
Don't overlook the supermarkets when shopping for your little ones. This jumper from the Sainsbury's clothing range, Tu, is an absolute steal (we just wish it came in our size!).
A pretty layering jacket from Boden for those "in-between" days when it's not quite cold enough for the full coat, gloves and scarf. It would look great teamed with these patch pocked jeans and suede ankle boots
British brand Happyology celebrates traditional craftsmanship, with a real attention to detail in its beautiful pieces for children.
From intricate hand embroidery to unique prints, we can't get enough of the new autumn/winter range. We'd style the knitted cotton-cashmere skirt – in this season's must-have chocolate shade – with this sweet hand embroidered strawberry cardigan for a special occasion.
For a tight edit of more sustainable kids clothes, look no further than All Things Dylan. Home to an array of independent makers, you won't find any fast fashion here. Instead, everything is high-quality and ethically sourced, with clothing for children aged 18 months to six-years-old.
We love the quality of its ultra-soft, organic tees, and this one has a bold message that we're totally on board with.
A collaboration between retailer Boots and singer Mollie King, the Maybe range is designed with affordability in mind (hurrah!).
The autumn collection includes this cotton stripe knit, as well as stylish gilets, and twill trousers. Great quality given the price, we'll definitely be adding a few bits to our basket next time we're shopping for toothpaste.
Get them excited about starting (or returning!) to school with these fun hair accessories from Rockahula.
M&S is nailing it this season, and its kidswear range is just as impressive as the womenswear. These comfy joggers in contrasting claret and pink are the perfect shade for autumn, and are so well-priced, you won't be too upset if they get them mucky.
JoJo Maman Bébé has recently introduced extended sizing in selected lines, so you can now shop up to age nine. This cardi is one of the super cute results, coming in this natural cream, dusky blue and rose pink.
Sezane's “petit” range caters for newborns through to 12 year olds, and it’s every bit as stylish as the adult selection. In fact, we’d like one of everything in our size please!
Favourites from the latest collection include the unisex Joey denim shirt, which we’d team with the houndstooth check trousers or tartan skirt.
No self-respecting kid should do winter without an Arket beanie. This style comes in an array of colours, but the bold orange hue looks great with khaki chinos.
As practical as they are stylish, these unisex khaki leopard print trouers will hide a multitude of sins, and the stretchy waist makes them super comfortable to play in.
Two of our favourite brands have collaborated to make these playful calfskin boots in Bobo Choses' signature shades. So cosy, we can't imagine they'll ever want to take them off.
For a super cool wardrobe update, we love this varsity style bomber jacket with contrast buttons and cuffs. It can also be personalised with their initials or name, to make it feel extra special.
PO.P's jackets are some of the most well made on the market. One kept our four-year-old bone dry during a torrential downpour, so while it may feel like an investment, the quality means you'll be able to pass this down to siblings or cousins. It can be worn layered over the coordinating windproof fleece jacket or on its own.
Everything from the new Claude & Co collection is dreamy (breakfast dungarees anyone?) but these super cool oversized jeans have gone straight to the top of our wish list.
