My son has never met a puddle he didn't want to stomp in. Fall gives us a lot of gray, drizzly mornings, and I got tired of peeling soaked jeans off him after a ten minute walk. So this outfit is built around pieces that either keep the rain out or dry fast when they don't. It still looks like a real outfit, which matters to me more than it probably should.

  1. Olive green toddler hooded rain jacket with a striped lining and flap pockets.

    Hiheart Hooded Rain Jacket, Olive Green

    A waterproof shell with a soft cotton lining, so it handles a chilly drizzle without a puffer underneath.

  2. Three toddler crewneck sweatshirts in black, heather gray, and navy.

    Cooraby 3 Pack Toddler Crewneck Sweatshirts

    Three plain crewnecks for under $20, and the navy one looks especially good under the olive jacket.

  3. Khaki toddler cargo joggers with a black drawstring and side pockets.

    Quick Dry Cargo Joggers, Khaki

    Lightweight hiking-style joggers that dry fast after a splash, with cargo pockets for the rocks he insists on bringing home.

  4. Pair of yellow toddler rain boots with pull-on loops.

    Lone Cone Premium Rain Boots, Sunshine Yellow

    The two pull-on loops at the top mean he can get these on by himself, and the yellow is the brightest thing on a gray morning.

Common questions

What should a toddler wear on a rainy fall day?
A waterproof hooded jacket over a warm layer, pants that dry quickly instead of jeans, and rubber rain boots. Jeans hold water and stay cold, so a quick dry jogger is the easy swap.
Are rain boots warm enough for fall?
Rubber boots keep feet dry but don't add much warmth. On colder mornings, pair them with thicker socks and check that there's still room to wiggle his toes.
How do I pick a rain boot size for a toddler?
Check the brand's size chart and leave a little room at the toe for socks. A lot of parents size up a half size so the boots last the whole season.

We still come home with wet socks some days, but at least the rest of him stays dry.
