Buying jackets for kids can be fraught with obstacles. You want to buy something practical that will withstand wear and tear, but the kids don’t like anything you pick out or find it too hot or scratchy or uncomfortable.

If you’re searching for something that pops and makes your kid more visible on dark evenings, there are plenty of colorful jackets your kid will actually want to wear.

Types of jackets for kids

If you’re not sure what type of jacket to buy for your child, these are some of your options:

Colors and prints

If you’re specifically looking for a colorful jacket, you’ll have fewer choices than if you’re open to any color palette, but there are still plenty to pick from. You can find jackets in all kinds of bright colors, including red, neon yellow, turquoise blue and hot pink. It’s not just solid-colored jackets you can choose from, plenty come in brightly colored prints. Common colorful prints include tie-dye, galaxy print, color block designs and florals.
