Rain, snow and chilly weather won’t slow down kids — especially when they’re appropriately suited up. We’ve found the cutest coats and accessories for cool days, so your brood can enjoy the outdoors during the months to come.

She’ll look dressed up but feel as comfy as can be in this Bow Pocket Knit Coat ($49.99) from Janie and Jack. Sweet touches like a polka-dot lining, bows on the pockets and a pleated back elevate this machine-washable cotton coat to beyond a basic. See more at www.janieandjack.com.

Hanna Andersson calls this stylish coat Our Warmest Reversible Down Jacket (regularly $108, on sale now for $75), and the Swiss company isn’t joking around. Hanna Andersson, which has been keeping families cozy for almost 30 years, crafted this for functionality and maximum warmth (it’s 80 percent down and 20 percent feathers). The coat zips up the front and comes with a storm flap, hood, a water-resistant polyester shell and reflective piping for safety. See more at www.hannaandersson.com.

A Three-in-One Hooded Snow Jacket ($74.95) from Gymboree is as versatile as can be. The coat has a quilted outer layer and a removable polka-dot hoodie that can be worn underneath. Combine the two or wear them separately depending on the temp. Either way, this jacket looks and feels great! See them at http://www.gymboree.com.

This sporty and slightly retro cotton Diez Stripe Jacket ($28) from Tea Collection is ideal for cool fall days and looks hip enough to please older boys, too. See more at http://www.teacollection.com/.

A Carter’s Puffer-Style Vest ($28) is perfect for layering on those in-between weather days. Plus, it’s lightweight enough to cram into a backpack if your kid gets hot and needs to take the vest off midday. See more at http://www.carters.com/carters.

H&M’s glittery knit hat is adorned with a playful bow certain to charm your girl. At only $7.95, you can afford to get it in all four colors — and not flip out if she inevitably loses it. See more at http://www.hm.com/us/.

A mini Boden fleece-lined hat ($28) with those always-appreciated earflaps will make your boy look like a total all star. See more at http://www.bodenusa.com/.

Cold hands can ruin a fun outing faster than you can say “brrr.” But if the kids don a pair of toasty Patagonia Baby Puff Mitts ($35), they’ll be able to build snowmen all day long. See more at http://www.patagonia.com/us/home.

Picking things up is a whole lot easier when you wear J.Crew’s Glittens ($19.50). Honoring its name, this pair of gloves is a mitten-glove hybrid. Your son can flip ‘em open if he needs to use his fingers and then resecure them with just one simple button. See more at http://www.jcrew.com/index.jsp.

If your daughter insists on wearing skirts no matter what the thermometer says, buy a two-pack of Keds Striped and Solid Tights ($14) at Kohl’s, so she’ll stay warm and toasty all season long. See more at www.kohls.com.
