How to Transition Your Toddler's Wardrobe From Winter to Spring

How to Transition Your Toddler's Wardrobe From Winter to Spring

As the days warm up and the first signs of spring show, dressing your toddler becomes fun with brighter colours and versatile outfits. You can start to swap out the heavier winter clothes and shed woolly scarves and hats in favour of lighter fabrics. 

Transitioning your toddler's wardrobe from winter to spring can seem like a daunting and expensive task. However, preparing your little one for warmer temperatures does not need to break the bank, as there are many savvy and practical ways you can seamlessly shift their wardrobe so it's spring-ready. 

In this article, we guide you through some great ideas for dressing your toddler for spring weather while saving money and making use of those warm winter clothes. 

  1. Reuse winter pieces

Before you rush out to buy a whole new spring wardrobe take account of your toddler's winter wardrobe. Spring can still have cold temperatures so winter pieces can be repurposed. For instance, those cosy jumpers can still be worn over lighter T-shirts or paired with dresses instead of heavy trousers. 

  1. Layering is key

Layering is the ultimate solution for transitioning between seasons and is a great way to incorporate new pieces. Instead of bulky winter coats, opt for lighter jackets that can be easily added or removed as temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. A long-sleeved shirt under a sleeveless dress or a denim jacket over a t-shirt can adapt to changing weather conditions effortlessly.

  1. Embrace versatile clothing

Rent or buy versatile clothing items that can be worn across seasons. A floral long-sleeve dress can be paired with leggings and a cardigan during cooler days and worn on its own when the sun shines brightly. Look for clothing with classic designs and colours that will pair well with any winter clothing you already have and allow you to seamlessly transition from one season to another.

  1. Renting rather than buy

Instead of buying lots of new items of clothing for spring, consider renting clothing for your toddler. This works great as you rent the items you need for as long as you need them.

You can rent seasonal bundles from Borro that help you easily transition from winter to spring. Renting also allows you to be more playful with bright colours and bold spring patterns as you can try them out for a short period and easily return them if you change your mind. 

Items such as this cute reversible spring jacket are great for layering over t-shirts and this waterproof puddlesuit is perfect for Spring showers. These spring essentials can be matched with existing items in your toddler's wardrobe allowing you to save money on those Spring clothing essentials

  1. Keep essentials in mind:

Don't forget Spring essentials such as sun hats, sunglasses, and a waterproof jacket. Swap heavy winter boots for lighter footwear options like trainers, or Wellington boots. Ensure that clothing is comfortable, waterproof, and durable for all the outdoor adventures the beautiful (and often wet!) spring weather will bring. 

Transition from winter to spring with ease

Transitioning your toddler's wardrobe from winter to spring can be an enjoyable and cost-effective process. By reusing existing winter clothing, embracing layering techniques, and considering rental options you can create a stylish and practical spring wardrobe without buying numerous new items. Enjoy the process of dressing your little one for the lively adventures that await this spring!

Why Borro clothes?

Renting means less waste, more wardrobe flexibility and no more piles of outgrown clothes. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to dress your little ones.

With Borro, you get high-quality kidswear without the commitment, just what you need, when you need it. Helping you save time, save money, and save the planet.

What about stains?

Don't panic! Let us worry about the stains. Stain insurance is included. Obviously it's best to prevent stains if you can, or treat them as soon as possible. But we will never charge you.

If the garment can't be saved, it will be upcycled or recycled. Nothing ever goes to landfill, and we'll never charge you.

Subscription & exchanges

Subscription

All the clothes are individually priced and there's no minimum amount or set subscription - we're flexible!

Rent as many/few things as you like and you'll see at checkout what your monthly subscription will be. (If you want us to pick out a coordinated bundle of 10 items for you, it's £29/month).

Exchanges

We know little ones grow as fast as the weather changes! You don't need to return your previous order to order new clothes, so simply send back items whenever you no longer have a need for them, and add any new items to your subscription, by adding them to your basket and checking out.

Delivery & returns

Delivery

Your order will be packed and dispatched the next working day. Delivery takes 2-3 working days.

Returns

Pop them inside the bag/box they came in, attach the free pre-paid returns label, then drop off at your nearest Evri ParcelShop.

We only include one pre-paid returns label per order, so if you choose to send just some of an order back and the rest later, you will need to pay for the postage of the second return. 

Once we've received your items we will amend your subscription so you only pay for what you've got.

We recommend returning items 4-5 days before your subscription renews in order to allow enough time for delivery and processing to avoid your next monthly payment going out. If you're a few days late, you can always cancel online (use the link in the order confirmation email). As long as we receive the clothes within the next few days, that's fine.

Sustainability

At Borro we maximise the use of each item of clothing by providing a service that ensures it's well maintained, repaired and enjoyed by as many families as possible.

So if a garment is used by 6 different users, the global warming potential is 49% less, with a CO2e (kg) per user of 1.18, instead of 2.29.
