Girls' Jackets, Ages 2 to 8
Girls' jackets for ages 2 to 8 are the pieces she puts on over a jumper or top for the walk to nursery, school or the park. A jacket is shorter than a coat, so it suits the days when she needs a layer but a full coat would be too much. Styles change through the year, so check each product page for the fabric and how to wash it.
Her height is the surest guide. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If she is between sizes, go up one so there is room for a jumper underneath. If you choose a padded style, the filling takes up some space inside, so check the fit with the layers she will actually wear. For longer coats and heavier styles, see Jackets & Coats.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's jackets for girls aged 2 to 8 are shorter layers to wear over jumpers and tops, in centimetre sizes chosen by the child's height, with a 4-year-old usually in 110 cm.
What size jacket should I buy for a 5-year-old girl?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If she is tall for her age or you want room for a thick jumper underneath, 122 cm gives a little more space. Measure her height without shoes before you order.
Can a 3-year-old wear a jacket instead of a coat in autumn?
Yes, on milder days a jacket over a jumper is usually enough. At around 12 to 15°C, a jacket and a long-sleeved top work well. On colder, wetter days a coat from Jackets & Coats gives her more cover.
