As the weather starts to warm up, it's time to start thinking about how to dress your little one for springtime. You want to keep them comfortable while also making sure they look stylish and put together. Luckily, there are plenty of options out there that are both classic and timeless, while still being on-trend. Here are a few tips for toddler boy and toddler girl Spring outfits.
This guide covers everyday spring layering and the dressier end of the season, so you can pull together a polished toddler Easter outfit without buying something your child wears once. Below you'll find inspiration for Easter looks for girls, boys, and babies, plus the accessories that finish them.
Girls' Easter Dresses
For an Easter Sunday girls' Easter dress, lean into soft pastels and classic silhouettes that photograph well and still hold up to an egg hunt.
Choose a dress that's easy to move in, so your toddler can comfortably play after the family photos are done. A lightweight cardigan is worth bringing along in case the weather changes, and coordinating colors with siblings creates a polished look without everyone needing to wear matching outfits.

Boys' Easter Outfits
A boy's Easter outfit doesn't need a full suit to look put together.
A coordinated short set, an Eton collar shirt, or a seersucker piece paired with tailored shorts strikes the right balance between dressy and toddler-friendly, giving your little one plenty of freedom to move throughout the day.
Since Easter often includes everything from church services to outdoor celebrations, breathable fabrics are a smart choice for changing spring temperatures. A lightweight sweater or cardigan can easily be added if the morning starts off cool. Our boys' Easter sets come ready to wear, making it easy to put together a polished outfit.
Baby's First Easter
For a baby Easter outfit, comfort comes first. Soft cotton bubbles, rompers and gowns let your little one nap, feed and be passed around the family without fuss, while still looking the part for photos. Many of our pieces can be monogrammed to make a keepsake to cherish long after the baby has grown up.
