How to choose
- Material. Drap is a great, but not the only solution for making coats. Therefore, it is worth carefully studying all the strengths and weaknesses of the materials, making the final decision. For rainy weather, it is worth giving preference to moisture-proof materials, and in winter - insulated models.
- Style. A versatile option is a classic coat. It goes well with any elements of the wardrobe. If possible, buy 2-3 coats. One classic and 1-2 purely children's, bright and original. Let them be in harmony with the limited number of your daughter's clothes, but from 3-4 years old, turning a baby into an adult lady is also not worth it.
- Quality. Buying a coat for 1 season is not reasonable. Therefore, give preference to more expensive, but high-quality products. A good coat lasts at least 3 seasons.
- The size. Immediately buy a coat 1-2 sizes larger, as the girl will grow rapidly. Some models can be embroidered a little, which is a good solution for practical parents.
Popular styles and beautiful models
It's no secret that a girl's age is one of the main factors based on which clothes and coats in particular should be chosen.
The variety of drape coats for girls is impressive, which allows you to find the perfect solution for a baby of any age, character and with her own exquisite or original tastes.
- 4 years. This is the age when parents make all the decisions. But the girl can already express her displeasure. Therefore, it is worth making a choice in advance, and not measuring 20 coats a day. For girls 4 years old, it is recommended to choose fashionable straight, trapezoidal or flared models. Nothing should hamper movement;
- 7 years. The baby is already going to school, because her outfits are paid increased attention. Hyperactivity of children 7 years old makes parents focus on practicality and convenience. Plus, don't forget about comfort and warmth. Flared and semi-fitted styles are perfect for seven-year-old princesses. They give her the necessary notes of femininity and make her feel very comfortable;

That's why you have to give up a lot here.But you can’t go on about the child as yet. At this age, the girl strives with might and main to demonstrate how mature, independent and attractive she is. It is impossible to choose coat models that are too short and without collars, which practically do not protect against wind and cold. Offer semi-fitted and fitted styles. They look feminine and very beautiful on young ladies. But at the same time they perform the main functions of the coat.
Fashion trends
The following models are in particular demand:
- With stand-up collar. Looks original and stylish. The high collar adds an extra touch of elegance. This collar allows you to abandon the traditional scarf. Don't worry, your baby's neck will be well protected. But if you want, the scarf will not be an extra element of the image;
