The Ultimate Summer Style Guide for Toddlers

A mom’s edit of everyday go-to’s — the pieces your kids will live in, from sunny mornings to sleepy evenings.
When it comes to dressing our littles during summer, it’s all about ease, softness, and pieces that work just as hard as we do. At Motette, we’ve created a small but mighty wardrobe of warm-weather essentials — styles that look adorable, feel amazing, and move effortlessly from morning play to afternoon naps and breezy evenings.
Here’s what’s on repeat in our house this season — and why your little one will live in these too:
1. The Bamboo Twirl Dress
Light, airy, and irresistibly soft — our bamboo twirl dress is a summer staple for girls who love to move. Made from our signature bamboo blend, it’s breathable for hot days, gentle on sensitive skin, and perfect for everything from playground adventures to dinner out with the family. Add sandals and a sunhat, and it’s an effortless outfit that still feels special.
2. The Toddler Sweatsuit
When the sun sets and the breeze picks up, our toddler sweatsuits are the perfect cozy layer. Parents love the elevated look; kids love the softness. Made from the same ultra-gentle bamboo fabric, they’re ideal for beach bonfires, post-bath cuddles, or evening strolls. Customer favorites this season? Pink Peony and Seaside Stripe — timeless, playful, and easy to mix and match.
3. The Everyday Pajama Set
We designed our PJs with sleep (and skin) in mind. They’re lightweight and breathable for hot summer nights, eczema-friendly for even the most sensitive skin, and come in prints that are as photo-worthy as they are practical. Our Spring Cascade, Coastal Check, and Petite Fleur are top picks this season — with hundreds of happy customers.
Whether you’re packing for a trip or simplifying the morning rush, these are the pieces you’ll be reaching for again and again. Because when you dress your little ones in styles that are functional, beautiful, and made to last — summer just feels a little lighter.
