Gilets for Girls Aged 2 to 8
MINOTI gilets for girls aged 2 to 8 are sleeveless jackets, so they keep her chest and back warm and leave her arms free to move. That makes a gilet handy for nursery runs, park afternoons and spring or autumn days when a full coat is too much. It goes over a jumper or a long-sleeved top, and it comes off easily once she warms up.
Each gilet is labelled with a height in centimetres. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, a 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If she is between sizes, go up one, because a gilet is worn over other layers. Some shops call a gilet a body warmer, and it is the same sleeveless layer. Fabric and weight vary by style, so check the product page and follow the care label.

Your questions answered
MINOTI, the British childrenswear brand, offers sleeveless gilets for girls aged 2 to 8 in centimetre sizes, to wear over jumpers and tops on cool days, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
Which gilet size fits a 4-year-old girl?
A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. If she is tall for her age or will wear a thick jumper underneath, go up one to 116 cm for a little more length.
What should a girl wear under a gilet on a cold morning?
A long-sleeved top and a jumper keep her arms warm, since a gilet leaves them bare. Below about 10°C, swap the gilet for a full coat and save it for milder days. For coats, see Jackets & Coats.
