What do first-graders wear in winter?

I mean outerwear. Those. the jacket is warm, but what about on the legs? Slim pants? Even if you put on some underpants (are there any for boys?), then it will be cold outside, and hot at school ...
We are in school next year. And the question arose in connection with the fact that I was going to buy winter clothes for my son. I always bought separate overalls for 2 winters, but now I'm thinking. Well, warm pants, I think, are definitely no longer needed, but after all, you can’t just go to school and just slightly insulated ... What do you advise?

I took my separate thermal jumpsuit
jacket of course, and we will put on school pants, and at school we will take them off and hang them in the closet and in a warm class we will wear school trousers and socks and a shift ...

Junior School
uniform trousers, pantyhose under them, until the boy doesn’t mind, then you can wear underpants (but my elder just threw out the pantyhose nafik at one moment and walks in socks and trousers).
a jacket on a jacket (it should not be on an elastic band at the bottom, a parka so that the jacket does not constrain)
In general, the fears of the cold are greatly exaggerated, IMHO. uniform trousers are woolen, they are quite warm and dense. ok, don't freeze. Moreover, it’s not a walk for 2-3 hours, but to school, from school, plus a walk near it, no problem, IMHO.

  1 my boy walked the same way
  while small - in pantyhose, and then just in trousers
  school is 5 minutes walk from us

  we tried to dress the child like this, it's VERY hot in the room...
  Here you still need to look at how long it takes to get to school.
  we are going, i.e. you have to get to the transport, wait for it, get to the school. these are short periods of time, but in the morning in the frost it’s very fresh in some corduroys ... if it were nearby, they would probably just try to run in pants.

    Don't know. in my mind
    semi-overalls - walking with a sled, skiing, wallowing in the snow, etc.
    but certainly not the movement around the city, including transport, going to the store or to school. and semi-overalls for trousers - that’s okay in some northern regions .. but it’s not so cold here!
    at school - I don’t know, it’s not very hot here. they heat well, but not a steam room. besides, the last time of winter - well, a week or two can still happen cold, like -20 or lower. and typical for winter -5..-9 - generally IMHO are not critical.
    my eldest from the 4th grade (9 years old) flatly refused tights and underpants, he just walks in trousers and socks, and he himself goes home from school - by transport, and walks around the city ... I also bought winter ones for a year or two, woolen ones, so you see they bite him! :)) last year I spent the whole year in school Georges, who knows - they are generally cotton + polyester coated for durability. I already rolled up with these underpants, and that way - I sent it. and nothing, quite a healthy boy :)
    I'm really a supporter of under-dressing than overdoing ... maybe that's why.

      in the morning, at -10 and the wind to stand at the bus stop and wait for the bus, in fact, cool. The child decides for himself when to put on the jumpsuit. rheims have thin overalls + a membrane, so they don’t sweat. in principle, we don’t buy pants on syntapon or fleece, in them we
      the classroom is VERY warm + plastic windows.
      By the way, wallowing in the snow after school also has a place to be. whoever wears trousers is just watching, the rest are playing :).
      - lara75 09/19/2009 at 00:45:09
        Yes, I have seen more than once how they watch. They roll like everyone else with the corresponding result.
        On the subject: I can’t imagine how to stand on top without a coat or pants, walk in the winter. It all depends on the health, temperament of the child.

my son walked (and will walk this year) in a Reymatek jacket and semi-overalls.

under it - velveteen and raglan.
came - undressed (we have a locker room in the classroom, no problems).
I can’t wear warmer clothes (underpants), because cook in class. and it's freezing outside. and so warm and comfortable. anyway, you need to change shoes, so putting on a semi-suit is not a problem.

newmama 09/17/2009 at 10:54:34 PM
instead of steaming in trousers and semi-overalls ??
And how does he get on his pants?
- lara75 09/19/2009 at 00:41:22
  I'm sorry, but I smiled: have you been wearing winter overalls-semi-combeses for so many years?
  Are they wearing naked bodies? And were tight? This I mean that the trousers are no thicker than tights, which, I think, you put on the child under the top pants.
  If on topic, then in winter I also decided to put on our cotton school corduroys on bare legs, and winter pants on top. They came and took everything. But my son has a school-garden and it's hot there. And it's cold outside. Therefore, under the pants, you will also need to wear underpants (tights will laugh) to wear. But even so, I'm sure the top pants will fit :)
  A friend and her son NEVER wear anything under jeans. There are some :)

    I’m at least more comfortable and drier in this than jumping in slush in jeans or pulling tights under them in severe frost (brrrrr). Jackets are light and short. let those, whose tender feelings I offend by this, forgive me, but it’s more convenient for me this way. especially since running after children is also a very active sport :).
    the only thing is that my husband and I often unfasten the straps and wear only trousers.
    when a child is not at school, wears a jumpsuit on his naked body - with active walks, he does not need anything else. and when she goes to school, she puts on velvets because of banal laziness - it takes less time to change clothes.
    - lara75 09/24/2009 at 10:35:36 PM
      And nothing at all that I wrote newmama? Honestly, I didn't know
      technologically it is possible to wear a reimu on a naked body. Are layers needed?

        you did not offend:) Agree, my question newmama has a right to exist.
        But you didn't answer. I have read that Reimu should be worn in layers. 2 or 3 (in the freezer) layers, not h.b. etc. I didn't know you could have bare feet. let's try :)

        ANSWER: I and my son (7 years old) are worn on a naked body, my daughter (2 years old) - on tights. in our winters, it’s hot to put something under a semi-overall (this is about Reimu).
        the exception is the school, but, I repeat, solely for the sake of keeping the child from spending half an hour changing clothes. at first they wore trousers with them, but he asked to put them on from home so that in the morning there would be time to run with friends in the classroom ...
        husband wears carbon, also on his naked body. when he goes on a business trip to Siberia, from -15-20 he can put on underpants.

One of the most important questions that parents of all children, without exception, are puzzled: “What to dress the child in school?”. But if the dress code is determined by the school, then things are easier here, but if not, you will have to think about what to dress your child in. The question is also complicated by the time of year: for warm weather, everything is extremely simple, but what will warm your boy in winter? It is very important that children's winter clothes for a boy be warm, but do not allow him to sweat a lot, because it is known that boys cannot sit still.

Consider the mandatory components of winter school clothes for a boy.

Clothes for boys 1 - 5 classes

The most important thing in choosing the necessary clothes is to still adhere to the dress code dictated by the educational institution: since it’s already established, you shouldn’t fight, because this is the face and prestige of the school, especially since here you need to differ not in the presence of a huge amount and quality of clothes but with their knowledge and performance. So, it is best to dress the boys in this way: underwear, if the frost is strong - tights or underpants, a shirt or golf, a classic trouser suit or a school uniform, and as for outerwear, a winter trouser suit that will not freeze while moving from home to school and returning back is the best option. But during the lessons, the child will take off the top suit and feel comfortable during the lessons.

If you are not inclined to buy such a winter outer suit, then purchasing thermal underwear, which is popular today not only among adults, would be a great way out. Such underwear is the key to the normal body temperature of your child, the impossibility of overheating and hypothermia. It removes excess moisture, which is formed as a result of sweating.

Clothing for high school boys

A suit for a high school boy in winter should consist of insulated trousers with fleece, be sure to choose a woolen jacket. In winter, it is better to replace a shirt with a golf, turtleneck or sweater. A wool suit with a vest will look great in cold weather.

The vest is indispensable in the wardrobe. He will turn even the simplest turtleneck and trousers into a stylish look.

If the school is loyal to the clothes of the students, the trousers can be replaced with classic jeans, but without any special “decorations”: the school is not a place for a fashion show, but, first of all, an educational institution.

During severe frosts, it is worth prying thermal underwear or underpants under clothes.

The only taboo for schoolchildren in terms of clothing: you can’t go to school in a tracksuit, even the most fashionable and expensive! The only exception is the physical education lesson.

Your child went to school? One of the pressing issues for parents of first-graders is the choice of comfortable and convenient clothes. School "equipment" should not distract the child from the educational process, and also turn the road from home to "bright knowledge" into a real test.

Outerwear - practical, comfortable, light!

When collecting your beloved child to school in winter, make sure that the road does not tire the child, and the mood for study does not disappear even at the door of the educational institution. To do this, choose comfortable children's outerwear. Here are some tips to help you get the job done:

The most popular option is down jacket. Here the choice of parents is limited only by their imagination.
For boys and girls, we choose not easily soiled colors - blue, gray, green, brown, black and their shades. As you know, children after school can spend time playing outdoor games. Accordingly, the question of practicality and convenience comes first. But if you want to see your child in bright colors, be prepared for frequent washes.
Choose a down jacket with a hood. Russian winters are quite severe. One hat, even the warmest, is not always enough to hide from the annoying wind. It is desirable if the hood is framed with natural fur (arctic fox, fox). This will provide the baby's skin with more gentle protection.
Get a baby in winter two hats- one knitted, the other on synthetic winterizer or natural fur. Thus, you will take care of the comfortable stay of a small student on the street, both on a cold winter day and during a thaw.
Concerning gloves or mittens, ensure that there are at least two pairs in the student's wardrobe. It is desirable if one pair is on a synthetic winterizer, and the other is knitted (wool mixture). For your information, downy mittens can become a hindrance for a child if he constantly touches his face and eyes.
Pants or overalls? If we are talking about a girl, then it is definitely more convenient to take pants. Why? Little ladies wear sundresses or skirts to school. To prevent clothes from turning into a crumpled paper sheet, give preference to pants. Let the skirt out on top, and when you come to school, leave your pants in the wardrobe. For boys, wearing underpants or thermal underwear under school clothes is not the best option! As a rule, in winter the classrooms are well heated and the discomfort caused by layered robes will distract the young student from serious studies.
It is quite a reasonable option to put on warm trousers on a padding polyester over school trousers, which will be waiting in the wardrobe during the lessons. Thus, do not wet the uniform, and the child will be dressed easily and comfortably.

School uniform - winter dress code rules

Many parents ask the question - how to dress a student so that he fully complies with the rules of appearance adopted in an educational institution and at the same time feels comfortable? Choose comfortable school clothes made from natural fabrics.

It is much easier if school uniforms are approved by regulatory documents. In this case, parents of primary school students simply have to comply with the prescribed rules. What if the school has not approved such a form? There is a lot of room for activity here!

Go to school with a great mood!
Most importantly, when sending a child to school, give him only positive emotions. Prepare clothes in the evening, do not rush the student and do not raise your voice at him, collecting for classes. A positive attitude is very important in successful learning!

Of course, a child from the first grade should be accustomed to a “special” style and stick to it. Classic shirts made of cotton, white or pastel colors are perfect for both girls and boys. If the shirt is long-sleeved, you can limit yourself to a knitted vest over it. Under a jacket or cardigan, it is better to wear a short-sleeved shirt. So nothing will hamper the movements of a little schoolboy.

Also, a light school turtleneck for a girl would be a good option. It will serve as a great shirt replacement. Choose only cotton fabric. Such a thing will not hamper the movements of the child. A turtleneck for a boy has the same properties. It looks great with a jacket or sweater. The tight fit of the fabric to the body eliminates annoying folds, giving freedom to every movement.

For young fashionistas, you should not choose tight knee-length skirts that are popular today. Children at recess zealously release their energy. Uncomfortable clothing will be a serious hindrance in active games.

Traditionally, before the start of the school year, parents update their child's wardrobe. Most schools do not have a uniform, they just ask you to stick to a certain style, to look neat.

School clothes for boys do not have many variations: a jacket, a pullover or a cardigan, a set of shirts, light trousers and insulated for winter, a vest - these are all the elements of the wardrobe for the school year.

The main rule when choosing things for school is that the child must like them and be comfortable enough.

If the school does not have a strict dress code, then it will be useful for you to read our article and get acquainted with the advice of fashion experts.

How to dress a boy for school

1. It is better to refuse to purchase a black suit for school days, because in an ensemble with a light shirt, it looks too solemn.

2. A jacket is a must in a student's wardrobe; it looks elegant and gives confidence. It is more convenient for a student of elementary grades to use a jacket as a solemn option. For ordinary days, more comfortable clothing is preferable.

3. Opt for muted dark colors. Variations of gray, brown, blue look good. For variety, choose a stripe that is not too pronounced, or a strict check.

4. White or light blue shirts are suitable for school. The shirt may have colored cuffs, an interesting insert or stripes on the collar. Such nuances give individuality to the student.

5. A formal suit with a plain turtleneck looks great.

6. A large selection of school trousers allows you to purchase a fashionable model for a boy. Pants must be combined with a shirt or turtleneck.

7. Jeans are clothing designed for everyday wear outside of school. However, there are educational institutions where the administration allows jeans, but this is contrary to business etiquette.

8. Buy a student trousers and a shirt, and replace the jacket with a cardigan. This is an intermediate option between a strict dress code and an informal denim look.

9. It's good to buy a vest and wear it over your shirt. The vest helps to achieve an official look, combined with a tie or bow tie, which you can buy on the website.

10. For cool days, you can pick up a sweater with a V-neck, complement the set with a tie.

11. Colorful and bright loose-style clothes are not allowed in the school wardrobe.

12. Sneakers and sneakers are comfortable, practical, so teenagers love to wear such shoes. However, they are designed for outdoor activities, training, their place in the gym. Form a taste in your son, explain to him that sports shoes look ridiculous with classic-cut trousers. Only closed shoes are suitable for school, perforation is acceptable for the warm season.

Observing the simple rules of stylists, it will not be difficult to dress a boy for school. Choosing the right elements of the wardrobe, you contribute to the formation of a taste in the selection of clothes for a growing man, prepare him for adulthood.

Prepared by Maryana Chornovil

We recently reminded students may not attend educational institutions. However, many children go to school, even if the thermometer shrinks to a point: high school students are afraid that skipping will have a bad effect on exam preparation, and there is simply no one to leave the kids at home with. What can be done to ensure that children get to school safely and return home?

Layering

Dressing warmly is no easy task. But your child will have to spend the whole day in a heated school, which means that our motto is layering. Think about how easy it is to take off extra clothes, how and where to pack them, what kind of clothes the child can put on if it is cool in the classroom. A woolen vest + jacket in this regard is a much more promising combination than a thick warm sweater, and trousers + ski pants are better than trousers + underpants.

Compatibility with school uniform

In cold weather, many schools give indulgence to students who come not in standard uniforms, but in pullovers and warm woolen trousers (especially for girls). If such concessions are not provided, then you have to break your head. You may have to buy woolen leggings for your daughter, leaving the semi-overalls on the synthetic winterizer for walking, and for the boy, pick up a pullover that can be worn under a jacket. If you plan to buy something warm immediately - go to the store, taking the form. Otherwise, it will be a shame to find out at home that the purchase does not fit on / under it

Hands and feet are the area of special attention

Even a warmly dressed child can get frostbite on the feet and hands. This is physiological, because our limbs have a relatively small volume compared to the surface area, there are no large blood vessels. When hypothermia, the body first of all turns off the blood supply in the small capillaries of the extremities; nature thinks that it is better to sacrifice a few fingers than a heart or a brain. If you value a complete set of your child's toes, then the shoes should be…

Spacious. Squeezing the leg means further complicating the blood supply, which is not all good in cold weather. Let it be half a size more than necessary.
On a thick non-slip sole. The farther from the cold ground, the better.
With a warm insole. The insoles wrinkle, wear out and wear out faster than the shoes themselves! With the onset of frost, do not forget to check if the insole has shrunk to the bald patches.
Dry! Even in the most nasty frost, the leg can sweat, and this happens especially often with children. And they can also climb into a snowdrift along the way to check its depth. So the shoe dryer is your best friend.

With hands, everything is simple - no gloves, this is an axiom. Only mittens - waterproof leggings are warmer, but two pairs of woolen downy mittens, dressed one on top of the other, are also suitable. Pay attention to how high and tight the elastic of the mittens fits: it should not be tight, but you need the mitten to go deep under / on the sleeve of the down jacket.

thermal underwear

” We are cold because we are… hot. The coldest thing is not in insufficiently warm clothes, but in damp clothes, in linen that has absorbed sweat.

In this regard, thermal underwear, which retains warm air near the body and removes moisture, is, of course, a godsend. What do you need to pay attention to?

Is the child comfortable in such underwear at school. Perhaps he is hot, cramped, stuffy?
How does the child go to school? Quick step on a snow-covered path? In a long wait for a bus at a bus stop, thermal underwear is not an assistant, rather, on the contrary, confident in its wonderful properties, parents run the risk of underdressing their child.
Most of these underwear is made from modern synthetic materials. Make sure they do not cause allergic skin reactions in the child.

The head of everything is the head

The ideal winter hat is two hats: a woolen knitted helmet that covers the forehead, ears and neck all the way to the chest, and a warm hat or hood on top. Actually, this is how parents dress most kindergarteners, but this trick does not work with middle school students, and even more so with high school students. So make sure your ears and neck are covered. Knitwear (even the warmest) is the worst protection against frost than fur, so either a knitted woolen hat + hood, or a classic hat with earflaps.

” But you can't cover your nose with a scarf!

The moisture of the breath instantly condenses on the scarf, as a result, the child breathes not just cold air, but cold and very damp air, and on his face he has not just a woolen cloth, but a wet woolen rag. You need to inhale and exhale freely, and it is better to cover cold cheeks with mittens.

Naked in the cold

We all go naked in the cold, at least partially. While we carefully pack our arms, legs, stomach, face with its thin delicate skin, we boldly expose it to low temperatures. Don't forget to take care of it!

In the cold, it is better to refuse to wear earrings, especially massive metal ones. It would seem a trifle, but in the cold, touching the metal is a cold burn.

A separate paragraph should be devoted to cosmetics, and this should be reminded not only to children, but also to yourself. Wet skin is a guarantee of frostbite! Therefore, as a day cream, you need to choose a rich cream, and not a water-based cream. Our mothers had a rule in winter to swap day and night cream - and when it's -25 overboard, it's quite possible to follow it. You need to apply the cream on your face at least an hour before leaving the house, and for kids, buy a greasy baby cream (there are special winter brands) and lubricate both your face and hands with it.

Thick and greasy hygienic lipstick in cold weather is also an essential item, both for girls and boys (it remains only to convince them of this).

If the child is still frostbitten ...

Whitened cheeks, nose and fingers are the first sign of frostbite. The child may not even experience discomfort, because the cold is an anesthetic in itself. But you need to restore normal blood supply as soon as possible! However, it must be done correctly.

What Not to Do

Rubbing damaged skin with snow, mittens, alcohol ... in general, rubbing is undesirable. This can lead to traumatization of the skin, an infection will get into small abrasions, then it will have to be treated for a long and unpleasant time.
Seat the child in a hot bath, apply a heating pad, generally forced to warm. The skin is not injured, but the blood vessels are completely.

What needs to be done

Soft heat (bath or foot bath with initial water temperature of about 20 degrees).
Warm drink (such as hot tea).
Wrap (blanket, blanket, warm socks).
On the street, you can put (without rubbing!) your palms on your frozen face, and after unbuttoning your jacket, put your frozen hands under your armpits for a while.

” Attention! If, with frostbite (even, in your opinion, light), the skin did not start to turn pink after the first aid measures taken, if you notice the formation of blisters, and finally, if the general well-being of the child inspires you with concern, consult a doctor immediately!

Brace yourself people, summer is coming!
