hot weather outfits for the littles | no. 03

It might be nearing the end of summer, but here in PA the days are sweltering. It seems most of the U.S. is in the same boat. To help beat the heat, here are our hot-weather favorites for littles on those days when A/C is a bust, or you have to go out for fresh air and groceries.

Lightweight Linen Bonnet

While it might seem contradictory to wear a hat in the summertime, our linen lightweight lined bonnets are perfect for hot weather. The fabric is breathable to allow for airflow and the fabric protects against the sun.

This doesn’t guarantee no sunburn though. The sun can still burn skin through the fabric. The bonnet will help slow the process of sunburn, but still, give your baby breaks in the shade (and yourself too!).

Puddle Jumper

I don’t know if you’ve seen these around, but once we heard about them it’s been like they’re everywhere! Honestly, I was scared to let Elodie try this because I didn’t know how safe/effective it would be but once she got in the water, she was so confident and safe, I knew my husband was right and the puddle jumper was a win.

For those days when it’s too hot to do anything but cool off, this is great for letting kids swim freely and stay safe at the same time. THIS ONE is the fit that we have.

Girls Linen Pinafore

We love pinafores around here because of their ability to adapt to any season, allowing for extended use. In these summer months, pinafores are perfect on their own! In the fall you can layer these with sweaters and leggings, but in summer, a pinafore on its own gets the breeze to your body, without sacrificing style.

Our pinafores also have extendable straps to allow for years of use!

Linen Elastic Waist Shorts

Shorts are a go-to hot weather item for us. Our linen shorts are breathable, comfortable with an elastic waistband, and oh-so-stylish! These easy-on shorts are perfect for hot weather errands, a romp in the creek, or a day at the beach.

Hopefully, these hot weather pieces will keep your kids nice and cool this summer - or at least less hot than they would be without! Remember to drink lots of water, get some shade, and if you can, cool down with a swim or some A/C.

Before we know it, autumn will be upon us. Let’s soak in these hot days while they’re here!
