Clothes for newborns - for the little ones there is such a type of winter clothes as an envelope. People are used to considering an envelope as a product for discharge from the maternity hospital in winter. Envelopes for discharge also come in different types. In winter, you can use a blanket envelope. Or you can buy a full-fledged jumpsuit, made in the form of an envelope. Its main advantage is the transformation into a jumpsuit with legs.

Clothes with a reserve will create discomfort during active activities. If they are too small, they will restrict the child's movements. Trousers should have a thick layer of padding, but not be bulky. It is better to choose loose-fitting overalls with an average amount of padding; in such clothes, outdoor activities will only be a pleasure.

The jacket should also not be long or very voluminous. It is worth giving preference to medium length. It is recommended to choose models with a membrane. Such jackets are thin, but have excellent technical characteristics. The membrane is a material that retains the heat of the human body. Due to its wind permeability and waterproofness, this heat is retained and warms the child. Thin membrane suits have a temperature range from -15 to -40C. The choice of temperature mode should be made depending on the climatic conditions of the area.

What winter clothes to choose for a child, each parent decides for themselves, based on their requests for the product. It also depends on the purposes for which it is purchased: for cycling in winter or short walks. The best manufacturers offering excellent options are Norway and Canada. It is these manufacturing countries that are worth paying attention to when choosing a winter set for a baby.

Outerwear

The warmest clothing for winter is rightfully considered to be a natural fur coat. However, this opinion is controversial. Modern technologies and materials, even of artificial origin, can compete for the right to be the warmest clothing for the winter period. Most often in winter they choose:

• Jackets;
• Coat;
• Fur coats;
• Sheepskin coats.

Each of these species has several more subspecies.

Jackets

Jackets include parkas, down jackets, quilted coats, etc. These winter wardrobe items are mainly used as clothing for traveling, active recreation, and long walks. Jackets are for women, men, children, and teenagers. They can be of different lengths and styles. The average temperature is up to -25C.

Coat

Winter coats can also be women's, men's and children's. Various materials are used for coats - natural and synthetic fabrics. The difference between winter and demi-season options is in the lining. Insulated lining with synthetic fiber padding warms even more. Average temperature range up to -20C.

 

Fur coats

The winter collection of fur clothing amazes with its diversity. Now designers do not limit themselves to 2-3 types of fur. Various types are used in the development of models. Also, the choice of models is very wide from autolady fur coats to transformer fur coats. A fur coat is still considered purely women's clothing, but fashion designers break the boundaries and offer a wide selection of men's and children's styles.

 

Sheepskin coats

Sheepskin coats are considered the most comfortable and warm item of winter wardrobe. Fashion catwalks offer a variety of models for men, women and children. The main difference of sheepskin coats is their high wear resistance with proper care.

Fabrics and fillers

Fabrics for winter clothing are different. For coats, the following are mainly used:

• Cashmere is wear-resistant, durable, and pleasant to the touch;
• Tweed is a warm material with excellent technical qualities;
• Cloth is a woolen or semi-woolen fabric, practical and durable;
• Suede is fastidious, beautiful, requires special care, and retains heat well.

The following furs are mainly used for fur coats:

• Mink - wear-resistant, for medium temperatures;
• Rabbit - lightweight, for medium to high temperatures;
• Sable – high wear resistance, medium temperature conditions;
• Arctic fox – very warm, low wear resistance.

Jackets are mainly made from the following materials:

• Duspo is windproof, waterproof and has excellent air permeability;
• Taslan is waterproof, resistant to organic contaminants, and has no “greenhouse effect”;
• Oxford - windproof, waterproof, protects from wind;
• Taffeta is practical, resistant to chemical elements, and has low hygroscopicity.

Manufacturers often use down and synthetic fibers as fillers. Down has excellent thermal properties, especially goose and swan. But duck and chicken can also be used. It is better to give preference to the filler that is warmer, because winter can be harsh.

Synthetic fillers: sintepon and holofiber. The first is cheaper and less durable. The second is more expensive, but has better technical characteristics and retains heat well.

The winter clothing collection is very extensive and it is quite difficult to choose from the variety. However, those walking along the evening streets in the winter season sometimes have no time for fashion, since clothes are not able to warm them when the temperature drops. In order not to freeze and maintain your health, it is better to choose practical options.
