While your mini-me may deem everything an ‘essential’ for their first day back at school, we’d have to agree with them when it comes to our kids school coats and jackets. From lightweight layers to thicker coats and gilets, which style will they be sporting for their school uniform?

Kids Hooded Coats & Gilets

Parka, girls and boys puffer coat or padded coat? Let your little one decide which school coat gets their gold star for the first day back! From our kids shower-resistant and fleece-lined padded jacket made using a minimum of 50% recycled polyester, to our parka coats with their cosy faux fur hoods, keeping your tiniest tots shielded from the wind and rain is our top priority!

For the breaktime ball of energy who never stops running around we’d opt for one of our kids gilets. The perfect option for wearing over the top of school shirts and school jumpers as their core is kept warm while their arms are free to fend off those playground opponents!

Kids Jackets & Shackets

Warmer walks to school require a lightweight kids jacket and of course, we’ve got fashion-forward options to help spruce up their school uniform. Varsity jackets aren’t just reserved for the sporty students in their class, no, no! Their colour block design and tri-colour striped cuff and collar details add a cute collegiate vibe to their weekday wardrobe, that (dare we say) foreshadows their back to college outfit roster?

Styling our kids shackets for school is simple. Team with their school pinafore dresses, jumpers and trousers or layer over the top of our girls and boys t shirts, boys hoodies and girls hoodies for ALL of their after school club activities!
