Children's raincoats

Clothing for children is the constant concern of parents who, of course, want their tomboys not to freeze, not to get wet, and also to wear clothes with pleasure and look stylish.

With the onset of cold weather, the question arises of how to shelter the kids from the weather, because little minxes and minxes can’t sit at home, and they should be ready to go out in the rain and wind. Special clothing designed to protect babies from bad weather comes to the rescue. A raincoat becomes such a life buoy for walking in bad weather.

Ideal protection against rain will provide a raincoat. This variety can be represented by several models of different cuts made of waterproof materials. The traditional model has a length of about knees, a free sleeve and a hood.

Poncho Cloak - This is a kind of sleeveless rain cape that can be worn over other outerwear. In some collections of children's clothing you can find such a model as a raincoat jacket. It has a straight, and not fitted, slightly elongated silhouette, suitable for both girls and boys.

You can protect your baby from wind and cold with the help of insulated demi-season raincoats. As a rule, these are products with a fleece or sintipon lining. Very functional raincoats with linings, which can be removed if necessary.

A raincoat can be an indispensable thing for dry but cool weather. Cloaks, similar in their cut to classic adult models (raincoat-coat or raincoat-trench) made of gabardine or cotton, are useful both for everyday wear and for “going out”: to visit, to the theater, to the children’s or school holiday.

Long raincoats are not suitable for children, as they interfere with their activity. Cloak models for girls are characterized by two lengths: just below and just above the knees. When choosing a length, it’s worth considering how a young fashionista is going to wear this piece of clothing.

If the raincoat is intended for going to school and will cover the school uniform with a skirt or sundress, then its length should be slightly below the knee. If the main function of the cloak is to serve as a faithful companion to jeans and trousers on active walks, then you can choose the length above the knees or a shortened version.

The shortened cloak option, which may also look like a cape or poncho, will suit both girls and boys. Such a cloak is also convenient for the smallest, as it will not constrain movements and will not interfere with an active knowledge of the world. The plus for parents is that this cloak is very easy to wear and can even be taken with you, folded in a backpack or bag in case the rain takes you on a walk by surprise.

The undoubted favorites among the raincoat fabrics are nylon and vinyl (polyvinyl chloride). The advantages of these materials are that they practically do not wrinkle, are easy to care for, durable and able to survive multiple washings. Often, for sewing raincoats, polyester, cotton, rubberized textiles are also used.

Nylon raincoats are thin, unlined or cotton lined raincoats. Such a raincoat, although it protects the child from wind and moisture, is not completely waterproof. By its properties, it is closer to the windbreaker. The undoubted advantages of this material is its lightness and practicality: it is easily erased and dries quickly.

Polyvinyl chloride is used primarily for raincoats, as it provides 100% “dryness”. Your baby will not get wet in such a raincoat even in heavy rain. This product is almost washable. It is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth, removing dirt. The comfort of wearing a vinyl raincoat is provided by a cotton or polyester lining.

Recently, the so-called membrane fabric has become widespread in children's clothing, from which a huge amount of outerwear for children is made.

The only drawback is that products made of this material cannot be called cheap. Perhaps a more practical solution would be to purchase a universal jumpsuit or demi-season kit from such material.

Not a single line of children's clothing is complete without bright colors. Raincoats are no exception. The abundance of saturated shades of yellow, pink, emerald corresponds to the latest trends in "adult fashion".

Any colorful girl will definitely like funny colorful models and your little princess will be happy to wear a cloak.

More practical colors of dark shades do not go out of fashion: dark blue, gray, burgundy, purple. Such a raincoat can be washed less often and worn every day. Well, if you buy a raincoat for an older child who smudges clothes less, you can give preference to light colors.

Cloaks of beige, white, pale pink, pale blue with decorative embroidery, ribbons, bows, ruffles will look elegant and cute on little fashionistas.

When choosing a children's raincoat, it is worth considering not only the material, style, color, functional purpose. It is important to pay attention to the details - how the seams are made, what the lining is made of, what hardware the product has.

Here are some universal recommendations:

• If you choose a raincoat from waterproof fabric, you should make sure that they are equipped with holes for air circulation, otherwise there is a risk that the child will sweat.
• Check the reliability of the seams, especially at the folds. They must be both strong and flexible so that creases do not form.
• The hood must be with an elastic band or ties, otherwise it can easily fly off the baby’s head.
• Zippers and buttons allow you to fasten the product more tightly, on the other hand, buttons are easier to replace in case of loss.
• Comfortable cut, not too stiff and dense fabric, suitable size (not “close to”) - the guarantee that the child will be comfortable.

In the case of small children, everything is decided simply - you can wear a raincoat with whatever is more convenient. This issue becomes more relevant for teenage fashion, when your child is already trying to form his own wardrobe and choose what and how to wear. Invite young fashionable women to combine practical raincoat models with fashionable trousers and leggings.

For more elegant options, try combining with skirts and dresses. In this case, you need to choose the optimal length of the cloak, slightly covering the clothes under it.

The perfect complement to the waterproof raincoat will be rubber boots, which today are represented by a huge variety of boring models. And of course, do not forget to pick up a stylish scarf that will become an indispensable accessory on gray autumn days.

As stylists note, the fashion trends of recent seasons are characterized by an attraction to the classics. You can trace this trend in children's clothes, where many models are borrowed from adult collections.

The transfer to the children's collection of elements of adult fashion is typical for such brands as ZARA, Burberry, Kenzo, Mayoral, Monsoon.

Incredible popularity this season received a trench coat. Recall that a trench coat of British origin is a double-breasted cloak of a straight or fitted silhouette with a belt, a turn-down collar, shoulder straps and a yoke. It is worth paying attention to the models of children's raincoats from famous brands. It is possible that in the process of searching for children's clothing, you will find something for yourself and be able to create an effective and unique family look.
