Children's clothing to give for Christmas

Selection or club shirt: the perfect gift for a young supporter

For a child who loves football, the shirt of their favourite team is the most awaited gift. National team shirts, such as those from Argentina, Portugal, Spain or Morocco, come in home or away versions, sometimes bearing the name of a star like Messi or Ronaldo. The prematch shirt, worn by players during warm-up, offers a more unique alternative. For clubs, Bayern's third shirt Munich will appeal to Bundesliga fans. Designed for supporters, these shirts are easy to wash and can stand up to playtime.

Other ideas

The selection for kids also includes:

• Shoes, sneakers and sports shoes.
• Accessories, beanies, caps, gloves and bags.
• Budget gift ideas.
• Medium budget gift ideas.
• Larger budget gift ideas.

All the selection is gathered on the kids' page.

Reima, Regatta, Uhlsport: the waterproof jacket for kids

For playing outside in winter, the waterproof jacket is the essential piece of clothing. Reima, a Finnish brand founded in 1944 in Kankaanpää, specializes in outdoor clothing for children, like the Lampi or Vaanila hooded styles, designed for play in any weather. The 3-in-1 jacket Regatta Trekktain combines a waterproof shell with a removable fleece, to be worn together or separately depending on the weather. For the young footballer, the Uhlsport Essential or adidas Entrada rain jacket keeps them protected on the sidelines during training.

Tracksuit, fleece and sweatshirt: everyday wear for all

The tracksuit Joma Lion, with matching jacket and trousers, is perfect for kids during training or school outings, and the Nike Tech jacket, made from fine technical fleece, provides light warmth without bulk. The fleeces Peak Mountain, zippered, can be layered under a waterproof jacket or worn alone in mid-season. For a more laid-back style, hoodies Guess, in fleece, or Desigual, known for their colourful graphics, appeal to kids who love branded clothing. The Hummel t-shirt, featuring graphic prints, completes the look.

Frequently asked questions

What size football shirt for a child?

Children's shirts are chosen by age or by size in centimetres, for example, ten years or one hundred and forty centimetres. If the child is tall for their age, go for the next size up so they can wear it longer.

How to dress a child for playing outside in winter?

Layer a breathable t-shirt, a fleece and a waterproof jacket: the child can remove a layer if they get hot and won't stay damp from sweat. Cotton, which retains moisture, should be avoided as the first layer for sports.

How to tell if a child's jacket is truly waterproof?

Check the water column rating, expressed in millimetres, and look for sealed seams. A jacket that is only water-repellent will shed light rain but will eventually let water through during a long time playing outside in the rain.

How to wash a child's sports clothes?

They can be machine washed at thirty degrees, turned inside out to protect logos and numbers. Fabric softener should be avoided: it leaves a film on synthetic fibres, which makes it harder for them to wick away sweat.

What clothing to give a child who doesn't play football?

A branded hoodie, fleece or tracksuit is suitable for all kids, whether sporty or not. They can be worn to school just as easily as on the weekend and raise fewer questions of taste than a team shirt.
