It’s not uncommon to hear a child insist that they’re not cold—but parents know better: Cool fall temperatures and brisk breezes will make even the most stubborn kids feel the chill. Be prepared, and avoid a before-school showdown, by shopping Target’s kid- and parent-favorite brand, Cat & Jack, for playful, quality essentials your little ones will be excited to wear.

Whether it’s a layer your child can remove when the recess games get going, comfy pants they won’t grumble about pulling on after rolling out of bed, or graphic tees that show off their personality, Cat & Jack has the everyday essentials that will keep them feeling warm—and looking cool—this fall and well into winter.
