Quick answer
Choose the Waffle Knit Coverall for a sporty, textured look with easy snaps, or the Variegated Ribbed Coverall for a sleek, elegant style with a shell button closure. Both are soft, breathable organic cotton options.
Texture and style differences
The waffle knit coverall features a gentle textured waffle stitch with a sporty triangle insert detail and raglan sleeves. It has a casual, athletic vibe that's perfect for playdates and everyday wear.
The variegated ribbed coverall uses TANE's signature variegated rib construction, providing a modern, structured look that's buttery soft. It's an elegant staple that can be dressed up or down, especially when layered under a cardigan.
Closure and dressing ease
The waffle knit coverall has easy snaps at the center back, making diaper changes quick and simple.
The variegated ribbed coverall features a natural shell button closure at the shoulder, which adds a refined touch but may take slightly longer to fasten.
Warmth and versatility
Both coveralls are made from 100% certified organic cotton with low impact dye, and are machine washable cold. They are transitional weights, suitable for layering in cooler weather.
The waffle knit's textured fabric provides a bit more visual warmth, while the ribbed coverall's smooth, breathable knit is ideal for mild days or as a base layer.
How to choose
- For a sporty, casual look: Choose the Waffle Knit Coverall. Its textured waffle stitch and raglan sleeves give it an athletic feel, and the center back snaps make dressing easy.
- For an elegant, dressy option: Choose the Variegated Ribbed Coverall. The ribbed construction and shell button at the shoulder create a polished look that pairs well with cardigans.
- For quick diaper changes: The Waffle Knit Coverall's center back snaps are faster than the shoulder button on the ribbed coverall. If speed is a priority, go with the waffle knit.
