The best scarves for children to buy in 2020
KIDS love being outside, but when it starts to get colder, the only way to keep them comfortable is by layering up.
Ensure you’ve got one of the best scarves for children that they’ll love to put on each morning – the latest styles are fuzzy, soft and even come with attached hats and pockets for hands.
From chunky knit scarves to cute faux fur designs, there’s a style to appeal to every child, in every age group.
The most popular scarves for children have a range of fastenings, like Velcro or intersecting straps, to make them easier to keep on.
You’ll find some cute hats with neck warmers attached – and some extra long scarves with pockets at the ends to warm little hands.
Snoods are popular for younger kids and those who want to keep their necks warm while doing sport.
If you’re struggling to find a scarf your older child will like, you can’t go wrong with Harry Potter. Works every time.
