How to Layer Your Little One for Winter the Country Way
If you've ever tried to dress your little ones for a cold country morning, you know the struggle — too many layers and they're sweating by 10am, too few and they're grumpy before brekkie's on the table. At Little Windmill Clothing Co, we believe dressing kids for Australian winter should be as simple as riding out to check the cattle. Here's our 5-step country layering guide to keep your little cowboy or cowgirl warm, stylish, and ready for anything the season throws at them.
Step 1: Start with the Perfect Base Layer
Nash & Luna Long Sleeve Tees — $34.99
Every great country outfit starts with a solid base. Our Nash & Luna Long Sleeve Tees are made from soft, breathable cotton that sits comfortably against little skin all day long. Available in earthy tones and classic country prints, these tees are the foundation your little one's winter wardrobe needs.
Pro tip: Grab two or three — they wash and wear beautifully, and kids in the country get through them fast.
Step 2: Add a Mid Layer with Personality
Jake & Sara Cotton Contrast Jerseys — $65
Next up, add some warmth and a whole lot of personality with the Jake & Sara Cotton Contrast Jerseys. These mid-layer jerseys feature classic contrast detailing that gives that unmistakable country-cool look. The cotton fabric is substantial enough to provide warmth without being too heavy, making them perfect for layering or wearing solo on a mild winter's day.

Once they're gone, they're gone. This is the one to grab first.
Step 4: Layer Up with the Classic Drill Jacket
Kids Cotton Drill Jacket — $129 | Adults — $179
No country winter wardrobe is complete without a quality drill jacket. Our Kids Cotton Drill Jacket in Chocolate Brown is built tough for outdoor adventures — whether that's feeding the chooks, racing around the property, or heading into town for the weekend. Available in kids sizing from $129, with adult sizing from $179 so the whole family can match.
These jackets are designed to last season after season, making them one of the best investments you'll make for your little one's wardrobe this winter. Pro tip: size UP for kids.
