Boys Toggle Coat
From LoveToKnow Childrens Clothing
A boys toggle coat is a good item for all ages. Whether your son is two or 12, a toggle coat may be the perfect option for a next winter jacket, or a light spring and fall coat to layer over an outfit. Toggle coats often are made of wool; however, there are some other types of toggle coats, for example khaki ones, that make for a nice twist on the classic wool toggle coat.
Choosing a Coat
Depending on your son's age, you may want to let him choose his next jacket all by himself. Have him check out a bunch of pictures of winter coats, or ask him to point out styles he likes the next time you're in a store together. Wherever he finds his inspiration while shopping, it's bound to be closely linked to what his friends and classmates are wearing once he has reached a certain age. If he's still young, you'll probably be most interested in cost and functionality, but as he gets older, his opinion of style will likely become the biggest factor in the decision-making process.
Before looking at some toggle coat options, remember that all the ones that are made of wool are bad options to double as a rain jacket. Wool becomes heavy when wet, and also can be a bit smelly, so if you live in a rainy climate, keep this in mind when shopping for a boys toggle coat. Most toggle coats are woolen, but not all, so if this is a factor for you, you may have to look a bit harder than most when purchasing a toggle coat.
Sample Boys Toggle Coats
Most toggle coats being made of wool, they are most often winter jackets. However, sometimes toggle coats are made as spring and fall coats to simply layer over one's clothing on the cooler days or during the coolest parts of the day. In this instance, the spring and fall coats mentioned below are possibilities. As for winter coats, there are plenty of options in the toggle style.
Spring and Fall Coats
Boys (or parents of boys) who like a classic style may find this Gap khaki toggle coat to be an attractive option. The perfect weight for layering, this jacket is not the warmest, but will be more than adequate in certain regions and certain seasons. Another good option for coats beyond the winter season is fleece. While not many fleece toggle coats exist, this navy blue fleece toggle coat is super cute.
Winter Coats
In winter jackets, there are even more options for toggle coats. This black wool coat is a nice option for boys, or this Ralph Lauren navy blue toggle coat is a beautifully classic jacket (with an admittedly impressive price tag).
Toggle coats can be very expensive, but they don't have to be, so if you like the style, try one of these less expensive woolen toggle coats:
- Trilogi wool coat: comes in navy blue or gray
- Children's Place: comes in classic black
- Nolan Glove Co: comes in bright blue, a nice change from all the navy blue toggle coats
Toggle coats are a style popular for all ages of children, as well as adults. You might like your son's new jacket so much that you end up finding a toggle coat for yourself as well!
