Fed up of back-to-school mania already?
Us too – it feels like the kids have been going back for months and yet somehow they still haven’t gone yet.
We’re still getting on top of everything like buying and covering books, picking up supplies for the classroom and the lunchbox and easing the little ones into routines.
You probably have the uniform sorted at this stage but that’s not all they’ll need.
With the weather looking very changeable at the moment – windy and showery one minute, humid and sunny the next – we’ve been hunting for a light coat that they can throw on each morning until the weather gets properly chilly.
Here are five we’ve found for both boys and girls that are perfect for this time of year.
They’re all waterproof but not too heavy – and all under €40 so they won’t hit you hard in the pocket.
Waxed parka – Zara, €25.95
Fleece-lined jacket – H&M, €34.99
Also available in yellow.
Karrimor waterproof jacket – Sports Direct, €31.19
Regatta Betulia jacket – Go Outdoors, €24.20
Fleece-lined jacket – V by Very at Littlewoods, €35 – €38
