Rainy day outfits for kids and babies

Rainy forecast? No problem. It’s time to embrace wet-weather adventures with our latest edit of kids and baby rainwear. From puddle suits made for muddy exploring to lightweight raincoats, wellies and rainy-day accessories, our practical pieces help keep little ones warm, dry and ready for whatever the weather has planned. Better yet, playful prints, cheerful colours and matching styles mean dressing for drizzle can be just as fun.

Puddle perfect suits

For little explorers who simply can’t resist a puddle, a good rain suit is a must-have. Our kids and baby puddle suits are designed to offer extra coverage when the weather turns wet, making them ideal for outdoor play, nursery runs and muddy weekend adventures. Look out for useful details including zip guards, flap pockets, elasticated hems and cosy fleece linings that help little ones stay comfortable while they explore. Colour-block designs and muted tones give practical rainwear a stylish update, while playful prints and motifs add plenty of personality.

Complete their wet-weather wardrobe with matching hats, gloves and a trusty pair of wellies for a look that’s ready to take on everything from light showers to serious puddle jumping.

Dressing for the drizzle

Whether the forecast calls for a light sprinkle or a full-on downpour, a dependable raincoat makes getting out of the house a little bit easier. Hoods, secure fastenings and comfortable fits are especially useful for active little ones, helping them stay covered without getting in the way of playtime. Our girls and boys raincoats also come in plenty of playful colours, prints and easy-to-style designs. Pair their raincoat with jeans or joggers and wellies for trips to the park, school runs and family days out. When heavier rain is on the cards, matching waterproof trousers can offer extra protection.

Wet-weather twinning

Rainy days are also the perfect excuse for a little outfit coordination. Matching kids raincoats make sibling dressing easy, while similar styles across baby and older children’s ranges mean everyone can join in. Classic rainwear designs are particularly easy to mix and match with the rest of their wardrobe. A bright yellow raincoat, for example, can add a cheerful pop of colour to grey mornings while still working with everything from denim and leggings to school-day layers. Choose coordinating styles for brothers and sisters or look for matching rainwear options for grown-ups and little ones to make those rainy family walks even cuter.

Grey day essentials

When it comes to wet-weather dressing, the right accessories can make all the difference. Practicality may come first, but rainy-day essentials certainly don’t have to be boring. At the top of the checklist? Wellies. Kids rain boots help keep little feet protected while they splash through puddles, explore muddy paths or head out on rainy school runs. Add a pair of colourful or patterned socks underneath for an extra cosy layer and a fun flash of colour.

On colder days, hats and gloves can help keep little hands and heads warm, while waterproof trousers provide extra coverage for children who love spending time outdoors whatever the forecast. For little ones who want to take rainy-day dressing into their own hands, a colourful umbrella makes a fun finishing touch.

Kids & baby rainwear FAQs

Can babies wear raincoats?

• Yes, babies can wear raincoats when they need an extra protective layer outdoors. Look for lightweight, comfortable styles that allow plenty of movement and can be layered over their usual clothing. For colder or wetter weather, a puddle suit can also provide additional coverage across the body and legs.

What do toddlers wear in the rain?

• A toddler’s rainy-day outfit can include a waterproof raincoat or puddle suit, comfortable layers underneath and a pair of wellies to help keep their feet dry. Waterproof trousers can also be useful for particularly wet days or outdoor play, while hats and gloves add warmth when temperatures drop.

Can a baby wear a rain suit in a car seat?

• Bulky or heavily padded outerwear should generally be removed before fastening a baby into a car seat, as extra layers can affect how securely the harness fits. Dress your baby in thinner layers for the journey and add their rain suit once they are safely out of the car.

What makes a good toddler rain jacket?

• A good toddler rain jacket should help protect them from wet weather while still allowing them to move comfortably. Look for practical features such as a protective hood, secure zip fastenings, elasticated details and a comfortable lining. Easy-to-layer designs are also useful, as they can be worn over lighter clothing during transitional weather or warmer layers when it gets colder.
