Summer semi-overalls are sewn from light, breathable fabrics (linen, cotton, flannelette or terry, denim).As a rule, it has a small length, comfortable for the baby who is messing around in the sandbox or riding a slide. Models for cool summers may have a knit or cotton lining.
Sports semi-overalls for the warm season are made of natural breathing fabrics so as not to cause discomfort during training. Sports semi-overalls for the winter are necessarily supplemented with insulation. Such models are ideal for outdoor games, as well as active sports, such as skiing. The materials used for sewing pass the air well: the young athlete will not sweat in such clothes, he will be quite comfortable and warm.
Winter semi-overalls are made of more dense fabrics using insulation. Most often it is fluff, tinsulate, synthetic winterizer and other natural or synthetic fillers.
Demi-season semi-overalls are intended for a warmer season. They should not only warm the child, but also be absolutely waterproof, because such clothes are worn in the rain and in wet snow. Demi-season models can have a warm lining.
Material for sewing waterproof overalls is treated with a special water-repellent composition, so that the child can safely stomp through puddles or walk in the rain. Sometimes waterproof models are made not only from impregnated polyester, but also from a membrane and rubber. Despite its fairly thin appearance, rubber has high strength and wear resistance.
And, of course, all materials for the manufacture of outerwear, especially demi-season, are treated with a special dirt-repellent compound. The semi-overalls with protection against dirt are very practical, it is easily erased and for a long time keeps an original form.
Knitted patterns are provided for the offseason. They will not save from the wind, but they will warm you on a cool day. Knitted patterns can be worn under outerwear. Warmer versions of such models are two-layer overalls with a lining of soft cotton, flannel or fleece.

Semi-overalls are most often worn in sets with a warm jacket. They can be purchased separately, but it is more convenient and cheaper to purchase the kit immediately. Such sets are sewn from different materials, for children of any age, they are designed for various weather conditions, etc.
Semi-overalls and sets with a jacket are ideal for toddlers and older children.

Warm semi-overalls are indispensable in the cold winter for a teenage girl. They can not only walk or play sports, they are often used to go to school. Changing clothes is not a big problem, but you can be firmly confident in the health and comfort of your child.
Material and insulation
Depending on the season, semi-overalls can be made of dense, warm or thin, lightweight fabric. As a heater, synthetic winterizer, fluff, isosoft and other fillers are most often used.
The synthetic winterizer is one of the most popular and inexpensive heaters. It is very lightweight and not designed for very low temperatures. In addition, after several washes, its heat-insulating qualities noticeably decrease.
Thinsulate is a synthetic analogue of natural fluff in terms of its heat-saving properties. This filler is used in the highest quality models. Its only disadvantage is its rather high cost.
Hollofiber is the most optimal option both in price and quality.Very light, warm, practical, holds its shape perfectly.
Among natural insulation in the first place - goose down. Semi-overalls with such a filler are ideal for very low temperatures. If the winter temperature does not fall below –15 ° C, then it makes no sense to get such a warm thing - it will be hot for the child. Goose down is very light, durable, but can cause an allergic reaction.
For sewing demi-season models, polyester or nylon is chosen. These are very lightweight, durable and practical materials. They have a high dirt-repellent ability and abrasion resistance. In addition, polyester prevents the penetration of wind and moisture under clothing. The material has hypoallergenic properties.
For lightweight models, finer materials are selected, for example, denim, wool, velveteen. Such models look great, they are quite practical, wear-resistant, quickly erased.
Knitted patterns are ideal for the beginning of autumn - the end of spring. This jumpsuit is not intended for rainy days, but rather to warm in cool weather.
As materials for the lining, light, hygroscopic fabrics are selected: cotton, knitwear or fleece.
Color and print
When it comes to outerwear for children, one of the main requirements for it is practicality. That is why, demi-season and winter overalls are most often performed in dark, non-marking colors - blue, black, gray, brown. At the same time, overalls do not look dull or dull, because the material used has a beautiful glossy shine, and the clothes themselves are often decorated with an interesting print or other decor.
There are several varieties of prints that are always popular. These are flowers, geometry, abstraction, hearts, funny animals, stars, toys, etc.
Over the past few years, one of the fashion trends has been the combination of several colors. Such fashion and children's clothes did not go around. Semi-overalls and sets of outerwear are often performed in two or three shades contrasting to each other. Most often, these are lilac, pink, light green, golden, blue, red and other colors.
Embroidery or applique with beads, rhinestones, shiny ribbon, braid, leather, fur, etc. is used as decor.
