There’s something rather lovely about the arrival of autumn... The mornings feel a little crisper, leaves begin to turn colours, and suddenly their wardrobe calls for cosy layers, warm shades, and clothes ready for a little more outdoor exploring.
And just in time for the new season, we're introducing two new pairs of dungarees!
Meet the Evergreen Chunky Cord Dungarees and the Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees, two rich, autumnal shades making up our Autumn/Winter 26 collection, made for conker hunts, muddy walks, cosy afternoons and all the little adventures that make this time of year so special.
Meet Evergreen Chunky Cord
Deep, earthy and woodland-inspired, our Evergreen Chunky Cord Dungarees bring a little bit of the great outdoors to your little one's wardrobe.
Think crunchy leaves under little boots, conkers collected in pockets, and afternoons spent exploring the park long after summer has disappeared. The rich green shade feels wonderfully at home among autumn's changing colours and pairs easily with their favourite cosy knits, striped tops and wellies.
Like our other dungarees, they are made for climbing, exploring, getting muddy and everything in between
Made from soft yet hard-wearing chunky cord, they're wonderfully suited to the cooler months, while our signature 100% cotton jersey lining keeps things soft and comfortable against little legs.
And we've also included all the Dotty details that make our dungarees so practical for growing children. Adjustable straps and turn-ups (complete with our clever double fasteners) help the dungarees grow with them, while bespoke buttons add that signature Dotty touch. For our littlest adventurers, zip access makes quick nappy changes easy up to 18–24 months, because we know the practical details matter too.
For a woodland-inspired look, pair the Evergreen Dungarees with our Mint or Green Breton Stripe Top, or keep things soft and simple with the White Maxi Top or Peter Pan Collar Top. Finish it off with their favourite pair of wellies for those crisp, leaf-pile days, and they're ready for whatever little adventure comes next!
Whether they're searching for the biggest trinket, racing through fallen leaves or simply enjoying a chilly afternoon in the garden, Evergreen Chunky Cord is ready to come along.
Say Hello to Elderberry
If Evergreen is inspired by the woodland, the Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees bring a little warmth and charm to the season. Deep, charming and perfect for autumn, these beautiful maroon red dungarees are made for crisp morning walks, cosy layers, and afternoons spent exploring.
Maroon red corduroy has something timeless about it. It feels nostalgic without feeling old-fashioned, the sort of colour that looks just as lovely in an autumn family photograph as it does splattered with a little bit of mud after a fun day at the park.
Our Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees are crafted from our super-soft needlepoint cord, made mostly from cotton with a touch of stretch. The result is a fabric that's soft and comfortable enough for all-day wear, while still durable enough to keep up with whatever your little one gets up to.
And we wouldn't make a pair of dungarees without all the little details that make them wonderfully practical. Adjustable straps and turn-ups help them grow alongside your little one, while our signature 100% cotton jersey lining keeps things soft against their skin. Bespoke buttons add a little Dotty charm, and for smaller sizes, zip access makes quick nappy changes easy up to 18–24 months.
Pair the Elderberry Dungarees with a striped tee like our Robin Red Breton Stripe Top for a classic autumn look, layer them over a cosy cream jumper for everyday adventures, or add a chunky knit and a pair of wellies for a day of autumn exploring. Whatever their day brings, the Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees are ready for it.
Made for Autumn Adventures
At Dotty, we've always believed that children's clothes should be made for real childhood.
The kind that involves muddy knees, pockets full of treasures and coming home with leaves stuck to their socks. We all know too well how autumn is particularly good at providing those moments.
There are conkers to collect, puddles to jump in, woodland paths to explore and fallen leaves to kick through. Trips to the park turn into adventures, and weekend walks run longer than planned because there's simply too much to investigate along the way.
That's exactly what our new corduroy dungarees are made for. The Evergreen Chunky Cord and Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees are comfortable enough for all-day play, practical enough for outdoor adventures and made with thoughtful details to help them last beyond the season
Cosy Layers for Little Explorers
One of the joys of autumn dressing is layering. A favourite striped top underneath. A soft jumper when the temperature drops. A cosy jacket for the walk home. Wellies by the door, just in case the day calls for a puddle jump.
Both the Evergreen and Elderberry make wonderful foundations for your little one's autumn wardrobe, bringing rich seasonal colour while leaving plenty of room for all those favourite layers.
And because they're dungarees, there's no need to overthink getting dressed. Pop them on over their favourite top, pull up the straps and off they go: to the garden, to the park, into the woods, and perhaps somewhere muddy, especially somewhere muddy!
Two New Shades for a New Season
Evergreen and Elderberry may be very different colours, but they share the same Dotty spirit. The Evergreen Chunky Cord Dungarees are deep, earthy and inspired by woodland adventures, while the Elderberry Corduroy Dungarees are charming, warm and full of autumnal charm. Both are made to be worn, loved and lived in.
