How to Style a Kids Sweater and Trousers for Cooler Days

Quick answer

Start with a thin base layer, add the Bojan Sweater as the warm middle layer, and finish with the Joek Trousers so the stretchy waistband sits over the base layer, not the sweater. Check the hood and knee embroidery before heading out.

Step-by-step styling routine

1. Start with a thin base layer: Put on a lightweight long-sleeve top and leggings or thin trousers first. Check that the base layer sits smoothly at the waist and wrists so it does not bunch under the sweater. If the base layer is thick, size up the sweater or skip it to avoid a tight fit.
2. Add the Bojan Sweater: Pull the sweater over the base layer and smooth the hood flat at the back of the neck. Make sure the kangaroo pocket sits at hip level and the cuffs reach the wrists without covering the hands. Check that the hood does not press on the back of the neck when your child sits down.
3. Put on the Joek Trousers: Pull the trousers up over the base layer, not over the sweater. The stretchy waistband should sit at the natural waist, and the embroidered knees should line up with your child's knees. If the waistband rolls down, the trousers are too small or the base layer is too bulky.
4. Check the fit at the waist and ankles: Have your child bend, squat, and reach overhead. The sweater should stay tucked or sit at the waist without riding up, and the trouser cuffs should not drag on the floor. A sweater that rides up over the waistband leaves a cold gap; choose a longer base layer or a different size.
5. Add outer layers only if needed: For windy or wet weather, add a waterproof jacket over the sweater and check that the hood lies flat under the collar. For mild days, the sweater and trousers alone are enough. Avoid adding a thick coat over the hood; it can push the hood into the neck.
