Grab a cup of cocoa and cozy up, it's time to talk about the Winter Play Collection! This drop is designed to keep your littles comfy, warm, and stylish through the chilliest months of the year — and there's so much to love about it.
Inspired by everything we adore about the season, it boasts styles that capture everything from the playful energy of a snow day to the enchanting magic of going to see a ballet performance.
Every style was thoughtfully crafted to bring a little extra magic to your kiddo's world, while ensuring they stay as comfy as can be. In this blog, we'll pull back the curtain on this special drop and give you insights on the designs, inspiration, and eye-catching details.
So without further ado, here are five things Team LS adores about the Winter Play Collection!
1. The icy blue styles to bring on family ski trips!
"Our Winter Play Collection is one of my favorites yet! I'm especially excited to bring the Arctic Plaid Shacket and all those cool colorblocked pieces in shades of blue on this year's ski trip with my son, Parker. He loves how soft everything feels, which is a must for how dry his skin gets in the winter, and I love how easy it is to mix and match these pieces with the Signature styles we already own for a quick and simple packing for our trip to the mountains!"
—Lindsay M., Marketing
The Winter Play Collection is so versatile that not only does each style have a matching piece in the collection, they also coordinate perfectly with Signature Play styles already in your kiddo's wardrobe! Putting together easy outfits is a life-saver when it comes to getting your little one dressed in the morning or packing for a family trip to the slopes.
Create a cute layered look with the Arctic Plaid Shacket, Soft White Relaxed Pocket Tee, and Windy Sky Jogger. Then, swap out the Shacket for the Windy Sky Panel Crewneck for another comfy and cute outfit! For an effortless combo on a day cozied up at the ski lodge, mix & match the Yeti Snow Day Crewneck Sweatshirt with our Light Heather Gray Jogger. Whether you have tees, crewnecks, or joggers already in your closet, there's a Winter Play Collection style to mix & match with — the possibilities are endless!
2. The dreamy prints that bring *all* the feels.
"You know the feeling you get when you can hear the sound of snow falling... sometime around 4:30pm, as a kid, when you were done playing outside on a snow day? Well, Magical Meadow feels like that to me: nostalgic, dreamy, calming, and serene."
—Emily M., Ecommerce
With florals in calming shades of blue and white with pops of pink on a soft blue background, Magical Meadow is true to its name — magical. We love how this print feels like a winter wonderland, inspired by the joy that comes with the first snow day of the year. The flutter sleeve styles add the sweetest touch of whimsy, too!
After a full day of playing in the snow, your little one will be ready to snuggle up inside for some relaxation in the Magical Meadow Flutter Tee paired with their Light Heather Gray Peplum Hoodie and Prima Pink Legging. If you have our Soft White Puff Sleeve Tee, you can pair it with the Magical Meadow Legging and Light Iris Peplum Hoodie for another enchanting winter look.
3. The special little details that set these styles apart.
"What makes this Winter Play Collection truly special are the little details. The embroidered stars that add a touch of sparkle, the super-soft sherpa for extra coziness, the ballet-inspired tulle skirts... We've also added double peplum silhouettes in our ribbed fabric, which is a new style I absolutely adore."
—Theresa A., Design
Sometimes, it's the little things that are the most impactful! When designing our Winter Play Collection, we wanted to add special little details that elevated the collection in a meaningful way.
The Light Iris Peplum Hoodie features soft white stars on the interior lining of the hood, bringing a touch of wonder to the style. Embroidered details on the Prima Pink Sherpa Zip Jacket and Prima Pink Flutter Tee and Bodysuit bring the designs to life in a new way, while the chenille patch stars on the Light Heather Gray Drop Shoulder Crewneck add a soft and stylish accent to the look.
4. The nostalgic styles that remind us of childhood dreams!
"Swan Lake is among my favorite classical music and I love watching ballet because I'm fascinated by it. I have always wanted to be a ballerina in another life. I'm really excited for Twilight Ballet, Rosy Swan, and the new tutu styles because they are a beautiful reminder of those!"
—Anna VK., Ecommerce
Winter is the time of year for some of the most iconic ballets — Swan Lake being one of our favorites! Twilight Ballet features ballerinas twirling and jumping with stars and stardust sprinkled throughout. This print will inspire your little ballerina to dream big, and keep them cozy while they put on a dazzling show for the fam in the living room!
The Rosy Swan Crewneck Tutu Dress will be their new go-to for practicing pliés and pirouettes in cozy comfort. With white swans and pink stars on a ballet-pink background, they'll have perfected the Dance of the Little Swans before you know it!
5. How versatile it is — for all-day wear, anywhere!
"The Winter Play Collection offers such an amazing variety this year, and we're *so* excited to see how families style these pieces. From cozy winter prints to ballet-inspired tutu leggings and dresses, there's something for every child. The cool colorblocked pieces complement our Play basics beautifully, making it easy to mix, match, and layer for looks all winter — and they're timeless enough to carry into spring! We're also looking forward to the sleep crossover, with PJs featuring these adorable prints, so you can take the cuteness from day to night."
—Liz O., Design
When we say the possibilities are endless with the Winter Play Collection, we really mean it! With the Winter PJ Collection dropping on November 14th, your kiddos can be dressed in magical prints from naptime to playtime.
Your little snow monster can play the day away in Yeti Snow Day, then cozy up for bed in Arctic Plaid PJs. Future ballerinas will practice their pirouettes by day in the Prima Pink Flutter Tee and Tutu Legging, and dream of dancing en pointe at night in Twilight Ballet PJs. Having a snow day pajama party? Add a matching crewneck on top of their PJs for a warm daytime layer!
So as you bundle up for the season's adventures, the Winter Play Collection is here to make every moment more comfy, cute, and dreamy. From snow day-ready layers to lounging essentials, each piece is designed to inspire endless outfit combinations, taking the guesswork out of winter dressing!
Whether it's a day of family fun in the snow or a quiet evening on the couch, these thoughtfully designed pieces bring the magic of the season to life.
