A practical roundup of the specific pieces the Magpie editor has recently purchased or is considering for her children this fall, with brand notes, kid-tested favorites, and sale pointers.
Useful takeaways from this story.
Parent-approved staples: durable sneakers, warm layers, and performance polos that wear through a season.
Mix of retro and practical: corduroy and wide-leg denim for style, plus easy-to-wear basics like rugby polos and pullover sweaters.
# Quick overview
# What's on the list Jen numbers 15 highlighted items and groups additional styling finds by gender. Concrete favorites and notes include:
- Rugby polo: a preppy option she calls "the cutest" for her son, Hill.
- Classic flag sweater: a Ralph Lauren look for about $35 at time of writing.
- Cadets mesh shorts: a household favorite—her son loves them and they're used frequently.
- Puffer vest (polka dot): a playful fall outer layer she'd wear herself.
- Vintage ruby wide-leg jeans: a pick for her daughter, Emory, for a retro silhouette.
- Screwback earrings: recommended for little girls because they stay put and don't poke.
- Floral Crocs and corduroy pants (Duckwood): styling choices with retro or fun textures.
- Warm Scandinavian-brand layer: called out for high quality and warmth for chilly days.
- Classic pullover sweater in multiple colors: she bought two colors for her son.
