In winter, children need high-quality and warm winter clothes most of all. Children have very fragile health, so it is so important to take care of it. Moreover, most often they lead an active lifestyle, an integral element of which is properly selected clothing.
Varieties
The most popular models of winter outerwear for children are probably overalls and insulated pants. They are similar to those that adults use for skiing and snowboarding. They are also called semi-overalls and are often worn with jackets. What kind of clothing is right for your child depends on their preferences. For example, below is a picture of a girl in winter clothing, namely in a membrane-insulated overall used for snowboarding.
Under a winter jacket or overalls, you must definitely wear one of the following items: sweaters, turtlenecks, turtlenecks. They are suitable even for babies from one to two years old. The more layers of clothing a person has, the better the heat is retained. Some insulation materials work according to this principle, the production technology of which consists of layering of synthesized layers of material.
Attention should also be paid to accessories. Children who like to play in the snow must wear mittens or gloves. Fabric accessories protect the skin only from the cold. For playing in the snow, rubberized fabric items are needed so that children can easily complete tasks and do not get wet. A hat and scarf are essential items of clothing for any child in the winter, they will not allow the ears and throat to catch a cold in strong winds and cold. Beautiful sets for children in winter clothes can be seen in their photos.
Winter clothes for girls must include warm, preferably woolen tights under any clothes. For kindergarten, it is worth taking a change of (summer) clothes with you so that the children do not get too hot. But children are often embarrassed to change clothes, so you can choose a set that can be worn under a winter coat, for example, a turtleneck, a sundress and warm tights. Winter children's clothes for boys can similarly include leggings or long johns.
Instead of regular underwear or over it, you should wear thermal underwear. It does not allow the heat produced by the body to escape. In addition, thermal underwear keeps the body dry. Due to movement, heat is generated and, accordingly, sweat, the fabric immediately absorbs it without getting wet. Thanks to this, the possibility of catching a cold is reduced to zero. Because of this, the unpleasant feeling of a wet and sticky body goes away.
Children's winter clothing does not necessarily have to include only down jackets and overalls, because sometimes it can be quite warm in winter. A light jacket with a medium lining is perfect for a warm winter, but of course, it should not be a summer jacket, otherwise the baby will freeze. Autumn jackets or coats will help create an optimal microclimate so that the child is not too hot in winter "uniform". Coats have always been considered an indicator of style. Photo cards from the end of the previous century and fashion magazines of the 21st century often depict children dressed in classic sets of a fitted or straight woolen coat and a beret with a scarf.
For the autumn-winter period up to a year, envelopes are best suited. They are very warm and, thanks to the large volume of fabric and insulation, will ideally protect the baby from the cold and wind. But of course, the fabric should be of high quality and, preferably, natural, since the child is still very small and requires special protection and care.
What types of fabrics and insulation are there?
Many parents are concerned about such an important topic of the question as what insulation for children's clothing is better to choose. The most famous insulation and the warmest fabric is, of course, wool. It is important to note that it often has a natural composition, absolutely harmless for small children. Wool sweaters and socks are ideal for winter. In principle, it is better to choose fabrics with wool in the composition. There are many models in stores from thermal underwear to home pants.
When choosing a fabric, it is important to consider not only the thickness of the fabric or its heat-saving functions, but also its ability to pass air and ensure its circulation under the clothing. Non-breathable materials are harmful even for adults: heat accumulates in them, the body sweats, the thermoregulation of the whole organism is disrupted and the body ends up like in an aquarium. Basically, fabrics synthesized artificially have a non-breathable structure.
The most common material on the Russian market is synthetic winterizer, it has an acceptable price and low-cost production. Technologies are developing, today the protection from cold and moisture in synthetic winterizer is at an average level, however, it is inferior to many insulation materials. In addition, this is a completely synthesized material and it is difficult to talk about environmental friendliness here.
Down, on the contrary, is the most natural material, because it is obtained naturally. Down is the best option, especially for children. It does not deteriorate over time, does not become thinner and still perfectly protects from frost. The heat-saving properties of this insulation are at a fairly high level, with its use most often made children's overalls, winter jackets. It is believed that the warmest winter clothes are made precisely on down.
There are several more advanced materials, among which the membrane should be mentioned. It is often used by professional tourists and climbers. It does not take up much space, the outerwear is not bulky, which makes it comfortable to move in. Despite the apparent thinness of the products, the membrane forms a protective layer that perfectly protects against frost.
The membrane has a structure that protects against water and cold, but when internally overheated, it starts a kind of ventilation. When a person in a jacket with a membrane base gets hot, the jacket itself lets cool air in. This system does not allow the body to overheat or become overcooled.
What to wear depending on weather conditions
Basically, the choice of clothing depends on the temperature outside, when the degree drops below 0, it is already worth taking care of the selection of warm clothes. The ideal option would be a set of winter children's clothes, worn over a warm turtleneck or a light sweater. After all, it is worth remembering that it is important not to overheat. On the contrary, you can choose a warm sweater, worn under a coat for the fall-winter season. In colder weather, it is recommended to put on thermal underwear, which is intended for sports (especially winter sports), sweaters and other warm clothes.
Shoes
In cold winter weather, while there is ice outside, it is recommended to wear winter boots or special shoes. High-quality shoes should have a flexible sole with well-designed protectors. The top should be high to cover the ankle. This will help reduce the possibility of a fracture or dislocation in the event of a fall, and will also protect against snow getting in, so that your feet do not get wet. The fabric should be moisture-resistant, designed for low temperatures.
In rainy, wet weather without much frost, it is better to wear regular rubber boots. They protect more from moisture, which will help the child not to catch a cold.
Selection rules
Of course, the main factors when choosing children's clothing are comfort of wearing, quality of fabrics, including their hypoallergenicity. It is better to choose natural fabrics or fabrics made from natural animal and plant components.
To choose quality winter children's clothing, it is worth paying attention to well-known manufacturers who have already earned recognition. It is important that the brands specialize in the production of children's clothing, as there are many nuances. Children's physiology is very different from that of adults, clothing must be made by people who specialize in this so that the child feels comfortable.
For children over 10 years old, it becomes important that their clothes are stylish and fashionable even in winter. Therefore, winter overalls with small pictures or one large drawing with a favorite character are a great option.
Clothes from Sweden (HemiTec, Hanna Andersson, Shampoodle) and Finland (Kerry) are highly valued due to their high quality. The Canadian company Jupa is distinguished by the fact that it respects the microclimate of the child's body under the clothes. Canada has a climate very similar to Russia, its manufacturers produce stylish winter clothes from high-quality materials. The best and most famous manufacturers of children's winter clothes: Deux Par Deux, Nano, Premont. The latest winter collection of children's clothes Deux Par Deux is especially noteworthy; in addition to heat-saving properties, it has a stunning design.
