The changeability of spring weather makes parents find new solutions to protect their children from the piercing wind, the last snow and the first slush. Outerwear for the off-season combines comfort, practicality and bright colors. Children also want to look fashionable, smart and stylish. For these purposes, children's clothing sets for spring are intended, helping mothers and comfortable for children. Children's stores offer a wide variety of sets in different combinations and from materials of different textures, intended for wearing at temperatures from -5 to +10 degrees.
Requirements
To the styles
The set includes a jacket and trousers or semi-overalls (trousers with adjustable straps). Some models include a knitted jumper. Children's spring clothes are comfortable in most options, largely due to the successful selection of a suitable style of jacket and trousers. Things should not restrict the movements of active children. The size should not exceed the actual height, so that the child is not bothered by the extra length and bulk of the set.
The jacket in the set is straight cut or slightly flared at the bottom, selected according to the child's height. Some reserve is possible for a fast-growing baby, but the length itself is to the hip or slightly lower. Many manufacturers provide reserve for growth in the style of the jacket. Turn-ups at the bottom of the sleeves allow even a grown child to wear the product, i.e. the reserve of "plus 6 cm" increases the life of the set. The main characteristics of the jacket from the children's clothing set for spring:
- waterproof material for protection from rain;
- good breathability of the material so that the child does not sweat in outerwear;
- Front bar with wind protection function;
- stand-up collar to protect the neck and chin;
- the presence of elastic bands on the sides or back of the jacket to tighten it around the baby’s waist;
- an elastic band or drawstring along the bottom of the jacket to tighten the garment in cold weather.
The jacket can be supplemented with a hood with buttons or a zipper. The presence of a hood allows you to wear a knitted hat in the spring, if necessary, warming the baby's head with a comfortable hood. The volume of the hood is adjusted with a special drawstring, inside which there is a hat elastic. In addition to functional details, the children's jacket is equipped with reflective elements that ensure safety in the dark.
Straight-cut trousers or overalls also fit the child's height. Trousers usually have cuffs of several centimeters - a reserve for growth. A tight fit to the legs is ensured by such a detail as gaiters inside the bottom of the leg. Some models of trousers are equipped with reinforcement in the knee area.
The strapless trousers have an elastic waistband that should sit comfortably on the baby's waist without squeezing. The overalls have adjustable straps. Additional insulated parts can be inserted along the back and front of the overalls.
To the materials
Spring clothes for babies are made from modern high-quality fabrics. The characteristics of the materials differ in the degree of wear resistance and water resistance. Children like to spend time actively on walks, which means that the fabric should have the property of repelling dirt, which will avoid unnecessary washing. Children's clothing sets for spring are sewn from such raincoat and jacket fabrics as:
- taslan is a synthetic material with rep weaving. The inner impregnation consists of water-resistant agents. The rough fabric perfectly retains its shape;
- Duspo is a soft material based on interlacing polyamide threads. The fabric's resistance to bending and its high water resistance are ideal for sewing children's products;
- pronto – the structure, in addition to modern multifilament threads, includes a special impregnation. It gives the outer surface of the fabric a pearly sheen;
- Oxford - the interweaving of fibers prevents contamination. It contains synthetic fibers, and the top coating contains polyurethane;
- Jordan is a material created using the latest technology. As a result, the top layer is combined with a knitted doubler layer;
- Teflon, Alova - membrane fabrics, the main property of which is repelling water drops. The membrane is considered a breathable material, which is important for outerwear.
The inner layer of the jacket for cool weather consists of fleece. This material protects the baby's skin when sweating. Fleece lining is used for thin summer windbreakers. The combination of durable modern fabric with high-quality lining is suitable for primary school age and especially for children up to one year old in the spring.
To the insulation
Modern insulation materials used in sewing jackets, trousers and overalls in children's sets help to keep warm in cool weather of the off-season. In addition to traditional synthetic padding and holofiber, lightweight wear-resistant materials, artificial fluff or bio-fluff (thinsulate), plastic polymer material (isosoft), lightweight microfiber material for keeping warm in the wettest weather (shelter) are used as insulation materials for outerwear.
The main requirements for the quality of insulation:
- trapping air molecules between the fabric and the baby's body;
- hypoallergenic;
- Insulation materials should not absorb moisture;
- Multiple washings should not affect the characteristics of thermal materials; the insulation should not roll up or be subject to tears.
Children's clothing for spring is made using single-layer materials. Thin layers of high-quality insulation make the jacket and trousers light and comfortable to wear for active children.
