- It is still warm; most people are now busy getting back on track after vacations. But young mothers are already trying to solve a crucial issue for themselves. What outerwear to buy for the winter? Apparently, the question really deserves attention.
What Outerwear to Buy For The Winter?
First of all, because outerwear is quite expensive so, in case of a mistake, buying other winter clothes for a newborn or an older child will be a costly pleasure! Therefore, before you buy a winter overall or jacket, you should understand the differences between these types of children's clothing. Luckily, there is no need to sacrifice the appearance of outfits. Finding cute clothes for baby boys and girls is possible.
Useful Tips to Consider
First, before you buy children's winter clothes, pay attention to the materials. As a rule, synthetic fabrics are used for outerwear because they are more durable and better resistant to cold. Among such fabrics, the most common are polyester and nylon:
- Polyester possesses only insufficient waterproof properties and eventually gets wet, so outerwear from polyester will not pass the water test.
- Nylon is also not blown by the wind and possesses great waterproof qualities.
Secondly, pay attention to the filler, for example, holofiber or synthetic heat retainer. As a rule, all fillers are made of polyester. Although there are overalls with natural filler, care for which is much more difficult. And such winter overalls are perfect for a newborn baby lying in a stroller, but for children who walk, often fall and get their overalls dirty, this option is unlikely to work. Since you have to wash it often, and it dries for too long!
Third, it is worth evaluating the substrate. Usually, it can be a cold, smooth substrate of polyester or cotton or something warmer, such as microfleece or fur. Here it is better to draw conclusions based on the heat provided by the filler. If the filler is warm, the substrate may be cold, and vice versa.
Additionally, you can select options for autumn-winter jackets for children, the warm lining of which can be unfastened. And thus, the jacket can be worn at warmer temperatures and in severe frosts. Another advantage may be the detachable hood, which can be unfastened when there is no need to put it on the head of a baby.
Overall or Winter Jacket — What to Buy?
It is worth noting that the children's winter overalls will be much more practical and warmer than a children's winter jacket and pants. But as an option, today, there is an optimal solution. It is jumpsuit pants complete with a warm winter jacket. Thus, the jumpsuit will cover the waist and torso, just like an overall, but is more practical. Similarly, with such a version, you can get a pair of extra pants and change them when your baby gets dirty. Therefore, the choice will always depend on the wishes of parents and the preferences of the child, as well as specifics of weather in the region where you live.
