Organize Seasonal Baby Items
Depending on where you live, some babies will transition to spring clothing faster than others. When you feel the earth around you starting to thaw, begin placing some of the heavier winter items in a storage unit or seasonal closet. Since your baby will grow quickly, some families may even choose to donate them.
These garments include snowsuits and parkas. You can also put away winter boots and thick hats. Leave out thicker sweaters and jackets until temperatures become milder. Label winter outerwear and accessories so you can easily find them for giving away or saving as a hand-me-down or keepsake.
Switch to Warm Weather Fabrics
Some of the most popular baby boy clothes for winter are made with fabrics like fleece and wool. Baby girls are often dressed in corduroy or velour. When it gets warmer outside, swap these materials out for lighter choices like cotton and gauze.
Common fabrics for spring and summer infant clothing include linen and chambray. Some families will choose seersucker or denim material for their stylish outfits. Jersey knit and silk are also excellent choices for the warmer months of the year.
Shop for Short Sleeve Tops
Winter babies wear plenty of long sleeve tops and bodysuits. As it gets warmer outside, you can start shopping for springtime styles. While you should keep a few long sleeves in the closet, you can begin adding short sleeve cotton tees in neutral colors and vibrant hues. Shades like hot pink and natural make the perfect start to a seasonal outfit. Popular choices in baby girl clothes include gauze flutter sleeve tops and short sleeve gauze hoodies.
Baby boys always look cute in cotton graphic tees with fun sayings. Look for bright colors that help to signal the start of spring. Families with little guys love to buy short sleeve shirts and one-piece bodysuits in shades like heather grey and Kelly green.

Stock Up on Baby Shorts or Skirts
Now that you have plenty of short sleeve tops, you can begin to transition to warm weather bottoms. Swap out fleece-lined pants and dark denim baby jeans for cropped leggings and shorts. Skirts and skorts are popular for baby girls. Find everything from sleek wrap skirts for infant girls to tutu skirts for a special occasion. If you like the appeal of a one-piece, choose a baby girl dress with prints and colors appropriate for spring. Flowers and birds are fun and seasonal. Polka dots and hearts are other adorable choices.
If you are looking for something comfy and trend-forward, gauze shorts for baby girls and boys will match cute and lightweight hoodies and tops. Soft and pastel colors like blue and pink make these garments perfect for exploring this season. Drawstring shorts and pull-on shorts are fashionable and comfortable. They also make for simple diaper changes. Canvas shorts and light-colored denim shorts keep your baby comfortable and make a style statement.
Include Stylish Spring Layers and Accessories
During winter, layers of clothing are essential for keeping your baby warm. As the weather turns mild, you can change your approach to layering your baby garments without losing your approach to styling. Begin with a short sleeve top or a bodysuit in a lightweight, versatile material. Next, find a pair of springtime bottoms that match together with the top layer. Your clothing does not have to be the same color. Instead, put together the foundation of your outfit with prints and hues that complement each other.
If the temperatures dip in the afternoon or it is breezy outside, include a windbreaker or a cotton jacket. Other light layering options include vests and drape coats. Add additional layers and accessories like caps or soft snapback hats. Baby sunglasses can help to protect your child’s eyes while making them look cute and comfortable. Socks or booties help to protect the feet and add fashion to the ensemble. Mittens can keep hands warm and keep your baby safe during the newborn phase. Fun prints and colors make these a trend-forward accessory. Headbands and hair bows in bright colors and seasonal prints help to complete a cute outfit from head to toe.
