Lightweight Zip-Up Jacket with Hood and Pocket, Ages 1 to 7 Years
This garden critters hooded jacket swaps the usual florals and cartoon animals for something a little different: cheerful illustrated birds, ladybirds, beetles and butterflies scattered across a soft pink background. It is light enough for a mild morning, has a hood for a sudden shower, and gives your daughter a print that is genuinely fun to look at rather than just pretty.

Why Girls Love It (and Parents Do Too)
Most kids’ jackets pick one theme and stick to it, a single animal, a single flower, one cartoon character. This one goes for a whole miniature garden scene instead, with smiling blue and coral birds, spotty ladybirds, striped beetles and green butterflies all mixed in with small flowers and leafy sprigs. There is a genuinely different detail to spot every time you look at it, which tends to hold a younger child’s attention longer than a single repeating motif. It fits well within the wider range of trendy girls clothing that favours characterful, story-led prints over plain block colours.
For parents, it does the job of an everyday spring and autumn jacket without the price tag of the bigger brands, and the busy print is forgiving of the odd grass stain or scuffed sleeve from playground use.
Colours and Print Detail
The jacket has a soft pink base covered in a mix of characters: a smiling blue bird, coral and mint green birds, red and teal ladybirds and beetles, and green butterflies with pink spotted wings, all mixed in with small blue and pink flowers and navy leaf sprigs. Inside the hood, near the neck, there is even a tiny mushroom illustration tucked into the print, a small detail that rewards a closer look. The zip pull is a simple silver tone, and the hood lining continues in the same soft pink as the jacket for a coordinated finish.

Use your daughter’s height and chest measurement below rather than age alone to choose the best fit, since children of the same age can vary quite a bit in build. For sizing across the rest of our girls’ range, our full girls size guide has more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages does this jacket fit?
It is designed for girls aged 1 to 7 years. Use the height and chest measurements in the size chart above rather than age alone, since children of the same age can vary in build.
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is a lightweight, showerproof jacket suited to mild weather, wind and light rain, rather than a fully waterproof raincoat for heavy downpours. For everyday school runs, nursery drop-offs and light showers it does the job well.
What is the jacket made from?
The outer is polyester with a soft polyester lining inside, making it lightweight enough to wear on its own in mild weather or layered over a jumper when it is cooler.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, there is a front pocket with a flap detail, useful for keeping small hands warm or storing little treasures found on a walk.
How do I wash it?
It is machine washable with similar colours. Do not use bleach, hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, and use a cool iron only if needed.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, so there is nothing extra to lose or reattach.
