Shopping tips
• Before heading to the mall, here’s how to ensure you buy the best jacket for your kid. • Have them try the zippers first before purchasing the jacket. Remember: you won’t always be there to help them zip or unzip the jacket. • Regarding length, boys tend to wear jackets no longer than their waist as they are more active. Girls can wear something a little longer. • Lastly, also avoid buying sizes that are too big for them hoping they’ll wear it for years to come. Kids grow fast and bigger clothing might make them uncomfortable. • Found something cute? Pick one or two of these jackets and get kids ready for the cold weather ahead.
