With the arrival of autumn, children's wardrobes must adapt to changing temperatures and the vagaries of the weather. Cool mornings, sudden downpours, irresistible puddles... it's essential to have the right clothes and accessories so your little ones can enjoy the season in comfort.
At Billie le Kid , we've selected the essentials to help you face fall with style and practicality: from mid-season coats and jackets to rain boots, hats, and umbrellas. Take a closer look at these must-haves!
Mid-season coats and jackets : versatility and comfort 🧥
In autumn, it is often difficult to know how to dress children: too cool in the morning, too hot in the afternoon... Mid-season jackets and coats are therefore the ideal solution.
3 characteristics to prioritize:
- Lightness and breathability: a coat that keeps you warm without making you sweat.
- Practical fit: easy to put on and take off, especially for younger children.
- Weather resistance: waterproof or water-repellent fabrics to withstand light rain.

Our favorite brands like Patagonia , Petit Bateau , and Mini A ture offer coats that combine modern design and functionality. We particularly like the models lined with fleece or quilted cotton: perfect for playing outside, going to school, or going on family walks.
Baby one-piece suits (available from Patagonia , North Face and Mini A ture ) are also very practical for cooler days and stroller rides.
💡 Billie the kid tip: Go a size up slightly to slip a warmer Patagonia or North Face fleece underneath on cooler days.
2. Rain boots : allies for wet days 🌧️
It's impossible to talk about autumn without mentioning puddles! Kids love to jump in them, which is why a good pair of rain boots is essential.
What we look for in a good rain boots :
- Total waterproofness : to keep little feet dry.
- Non-slip soles : to prevent slipping.
- Comfort and flexibility : so children can run, walk and play without discomfort.
- Easy to put on : because busy mornings don't wait.

With us, you'll find colorful, durable, and stylish boots, suitable for both toddlers and older children. They'll accompany your children on all their explorations, whether it's raining, windy, or simply gray.
Native 's Kensington Chelsea boots are quickly becoming a must-have. Halfway between a boot and a shoe, they're versatile, durable, and easy to care for. Enhanced with an upper made from Susterra, a corn-based PU, these boots offer added durability and optimal protection thanks to their rubber mudguard (goodbye scuffs!). Elasticated side panels make them easy to put on, while the rubber sole ensures superior traction in all weather conditions.
A great alternative between days that are too wet for sneakers and not yet cold enough for winter boots!
A must-have classic that has been present in the store for 10 years remains the Hunter boots, which come in different colors with or without patterns. British brand Hunter is renowned for its original, handcrafted, waterproof rubber rain boots inspired by its rich heritage, designed to accompany your children on their daily adventures while protecting their feet from water.
💡 Tip: Consider thick socks or removable liners to extend the use of your boots into the first weeks of winter.
3. Accessories made for fall
The hats and collars from the Montreal brand Caribou are designed to warm the heads of our little explorers. Caribou is a Montreal-based design studio that creates and designs children's accessories. Their designs are based on strong principles regarding eco-responsibility, fair trade, functionality, and longevity of production. A very popular choice among our customers for several years! Patagonia , North Face , Kombi , Mini A ture , Herschel and Molo also offer a nice selection of hats and mittens to start the fall well dressed.
