9 best girls’ coats to buy in 2021: duffle coats, faux fur coats, parkas and more
THE best girls' coats combine style with substance: they're warm and cosy, durable and easy to fasten.
Since a coat is something your child will wear everyday during the colder months, you want to make sure you're investing in one that ticks every box.
Girls' coats come in much the same styles, prints and colours as their adult counterparts, from smart button-downs to roomy duffles to on-trend faux fur coats.
When it comes to finding the best girls' coats, we recommend buying a size or two up to get your value for money.
This way, you'll find your child's coat can last for season after season - and the best-quality designs (we're looking at you, Boden), can be passed down to other siblings.
In addition to woolen coats for winter, you may want to think about hooded parka or puffer styles.
These are ideal for protecting kids in wet weather and snow.
