Whether you’re looking for toddler fall outfits for boys, baby fall outfits for girls, or anything in between, this fall style guide features a variety of options your little one will love.
Dusty Blue: The Perfect Fall Hue
One of the most refreshing trends this fall is the soft, muted shade of dusty blue. This calming color is perfect for creating cozy fall baby clothes that feel both stylish and serene.
Dusty blue works beautifully for both boys and girls, offering versatility for creating the sweetest casual and formal outfits. Think baby rompers, knitted cardigans, and everyday onesies that are both functional and fashionable.
This shade pairs effortlessly with other autumn colors like warm browns, deep oranges, and muted beige, making it a great choice for layering.
Here at bornbaby, dusty blue can be found in everything from matching sets for everyday wear to textured cardigans + floral dresses, giving you and your child options while still staying on trend. Whether you're picking out a soft sweater or a sweet pair of baby leggings, these pieces are sure to become fall favorites that can transition across seasons.
One of our favorite baby + toddler boy outfits for fall includes this tassel cardigan with the matching gable pant. Dress it up by adding a classic collared shirt under the cardigan and camel boots to finish the look.
For your little girl, this tulip cardigan in dusty blue is a must-have for fall. The bubble sleeves, knit detailing, and wooden buttons make it an extra special wardrobe essential that can easily pair with so many great fall + winter outfits.
We love layering this sweater on top of the softer blue tones of a floral baby romper or dress like the collared bubble romper or v-smocked dress.
Some of our favorite, classic gender neutral baby outfits include a matching top and pant set or onesie and legging. For fall, the dusty blue options do not disappoint. We love this colorblock top or bodysuit with drawstring pants for an everyday look.
This matching waffle top + pant set is another perfect example of a classic yet stylish way to incorporate dusty blue in your baby’s wardrobe.
Earth-Toned Sweaters: A Timeless Autumn Essential
When it comes to fall style, you can’t go wrong with a classic sweater in neutral, earthy tones.
This season, we’re seeing striped sweaters and solid cable knits in a variety of earthy colors like speckled natural, burnt orange, and cream. The beauty of sweaters is their versatility — they can easily add a finishing layer to dress up for a family gathering or dress down for a casual day at the park.
For baby + toddler fall outfits for girls, consider a cozy, oversized cable knit sweater paired with a cute skirt, tights, or leggings. Create a more polished look by adding matching bloomers or a bow. We especially love this cable knit sweater in natural speckle with coordinating knit bloomers.
Your 4 to 9 year-old girl will love a timeless cable knit sweater to pair with dresses, skirts, or jeans, making it a true fall wardrobe essential. We love the alice sweater’s feminine ruffle collar and neutral heathered sand color. Add a deep brown skirt or dark jeans for the perfect fall look your little girl will love.
For toddler fall outfits for boys, a striped sweater layered over a basic tee creates a cool, laid-back look or dress it up with matching corduroy pants + a classic pair of boots. We are loving the aspen sweater in saddle stripe for its versatility + stylish take on the classic, striped sweater.
The Leon sweater features a softer color palette that can transition seamlessly across seasons. Add brown pants or jeans to complete the look.
Baby Bonnets: Adorable and Practical Fall Accessory
Nothing says autumn like a chic, modern version of the timeless baby bonnet.
These cozy hats are not only incredibly adorable but also functional, keeping your baby’s head warm on chilly fall days. Baby bonnets come in a variety of materials — from soft cotton to cozy wool — ensuring that your little one stays snug and stylish all season long. The perfect finishing touch for any baby outfit.
For baby girls, a soft bonnet perfectly complements a variety of fall outfits. Pair it with a pretty romper or a cute onesie for an irresistibly charming look. One of our fall favorites is this plaid baby bonnet with matching romper, both in cinnamon plaid. The best option for fall family photos, this matching bonnet will keep your baby girl comfortable and cozy.
A neutral take on this fall bonnet trend is a matching ivory set with a delicate, knit organic cotton fabric. This bonnet, cardigan, and bloomer set will not disappoint.
For baby boys, opt for a neutral-toned bonnet in shades of beige or natural, which can easily be paired with any fall ensemble. We are loving this speckled natural bonnet paired with the matching cozy knit jumpsuit, booties, sweater + pant.
