With spring comes the daily decision of what coat to plop on your child when heading out the door. If you’re in a city with loads of transitional weather like Chicago, try one of these twelve versatile pullovers and coats for boys this year. Some of these are so cute, I want them in my size.
Pullovers
Glacial Printed Fleece Pullover
The super comfortable and stylish Printed Fleece by Columbia is the perfect tag-along. Throw on while heading out the door or keep it in the car for changes in weather. Image by Columbia
ThermaCheck Half Zip Pullover Fleece
This ThermaCheck Fleece by Lands’ End is amazing and light! It’s perfect as an extra layer inside or outdoors. I love that it’s not bulky, it’s super soft, and it rejects static and pilling. Easy for my boys to get in and out of, too! Image by Lands’ End
Hoodies
The Active Zip Front Hoodie (with zipper)
I love the versatility and ease of a zipper. This Old Navy Active Zip Front Hoodie is super comfy and easy to layer and will transition great for the fall as well—so buy it a little big. This is great performance gear delivering medium-weight fleece on the inside. Fantastic for in-between weather. Image by Old Navy
Boys Slub-Knit Logo Hoodie (without zipper)
I love the vintage flair of this Old Navy Slub-Knit Logo Hoodie with kangaroo front pocket. The built-in jersey-lined hood is great for warmth, and I love the soft, lightweight, versatile feel of the jersey fabric. Wear alone or layer up for that casual, little man-about-town look.

Versatile Jackets
Chambray Field Jacket
Gap’s Chambray Field Jacket is super chic and perfect for cool spring/summer weather. I love the look and feel of this, and so do my little men. They look dressed up and super cool in their matching jackets. The pockets and hood are great! Mommy needs a matching one, too! Image by Gap
Fleece Varsity Jacket
I adore the retro bad-boy, good-boy appeal of this functional Fleece Varsity Jacket by Gap. The soft fleece gives this traditional sporty look extra charm and durability. Image by Gap
Quilted Shirt Jacket
I love the man-feel of a shirt jacket, and this one is uber cute. Gap’s Quilted Shirt Jacket is fully lined with fun buttons that aren’t annoying for daily use. A perfect solution for fall, too! Image by Gap
Rain Coats
Foldable Infant-Toddler Rain Jacket
This brightly colored Discovery Rain Jacket by LLBean packs up easily in its own pocket for spur-of-the-moment needs. Happy colored in yellow or blue—this is great for staying completely dry from the waist up. Image by LLBean
Lightweight Rain Jacket
Columbia’s Sportswear Lightweight Rain Jacket is great for your bigger boy. This water-resistant design and lightweight polyester construction make this jacket the perfect choice for layered comfort in the rain. Image by Kohl’s
Outer Vest
Fleece-LIned Wool Vest
An outer vest is sometimes the best solution. This Fleece-Lined Wool Vest by LLBean is the perfect answer for those too hot/too cold moments. Protect your child’s chest, yet keep the rest of him cool with this winner. Image by LLBean
Windbreakers
The Big Boy Windbreaker
To me, nothing says spring quite like a windbreaker. This Boy’s Windbreaker Jacket by US Polo Assn. falls below the waist and is perfect for welcoming some fresh spring air—yet keeping warm on balmy days. Image by US Polo Assn.
The Little Boy Windbreaker
OshKosh B’Gosh Hooded Toddler Windbreaker Jacket is a great solution for your toddler, especially if he needs to keep warm from a seasonal cold (like mine often do). I love the ease and warmth of this jacket. Great quality! Image by Kohl’s
