Statement hat and gloves for 4 year old girl

[Tootired1]

I bought my 4 yr old daughter a navy coat from John Lewis for school. It’s a nice, warm, practical coat but tbh a bit boring. I’d love to get her a nice hat and gloves set to wear with it but I just haven’t found anything that I like. Please tell me if you’ve seen any great hats and gloves for a 4 yr old to wear with a navy coat, TIA

LOL at statement

[CherryPavlova]

Do you mean nice cosy hats and gloves?

OP, if you have a son, does he also have a “statement” outfit for school?
Or does he have a practical weatherproof coat and gloves so he can play in the mud and snow and have fun without worrying? And shouldn’t your DD have that same freedom instead of being dressed as a fashion model and groomed for a lifetime of sexist crap?

OP, you're getting a hard time here! I like my kids to look stylish too.

[FindaPenny]

Maybe op just meant a fun looking style, that her daughter will like.

[RaymondStopThat]

I don't know why but this feels all wrong, 4 year old "statement" in style and beauty. I don't know why, if it was posted in the parenting section with "looking for a nice hat and gloves for a navy coat" it would be fine, but this seems so OTT, like the poor girl has got a lifelong expectation of her appearance speaking for her.

This, in spades.

[Ninkaninus]

Ew.

[EmmiJay]

Grief. I think by 'statement' she meant something 'bright' to go against the navy. Anyway I'm guessing something like this uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_5,acc_5.29/5911496000?skipRedirection=true&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0IDtBRC6ARIsAIA5gWtSpiVFtO5XIKaMyFmFzryDTaAf9o8h2Gx7owPWsmnb4sB7WFIpgxkaAqXZEALw_wcB with a red scarf and gloves would look adorable.

If that was the question why wouldn't she ask her daughter, it comes across as the OK wanting to style a small child, each to their own I guess.

Perhaps she wondered if anyone had seen any fun styles. I often will look online and pick a few styles and let my daughter choose between them.
Maybe the op did mean she wanted something very flash... I don't imagine she will come back and let us know🤣

[DriftingLeaves]

She's 4 years old. Don't be ridiculous.

Statement hat and gloves ?

Who is going to be impressed? Her classmates?

[Irisloulou]

My DD, always loved a bit of glamour at four, so I think people are being harsh.
She still loves glamorous things at 10!

Primark have lots of cute knitted hats with huge glittery Pom poms and matching gloves.

Don’t spend much they do get lost at school.

[Tvstar]

If she has a personality that will make the statement, not her clothes!

[cultkid]

@QuaterMiss 😳 why are you grumpy? Is the "statement" you wanted to make that kids shouldn't be dressed up? The poster clearly means she's looking for some snazzy gloves hat scarf whatever to go with the jacket.

Dressing nicely doesn't mean you can't be a good person/ a clever person...

Anyway .. what's the "statement" that you came onto the style board to make?

[cultkid]

Wow I'm really shocked with the amount of people objecting to the word statement?
Kids love snazzy clothes and that's what this op must be asking about

[Ninkaninus]

I’d look at M&S, Boden or Accessorize/Monsoon.

I’d go for something in a berry/olive/cream/navy mix. It’ll tie in nicely with the navy. Failing that, a nice dark red. Or a sparkly navy or grey.

[Ninkaninus]

On the objection to ‘statement’ there’s just no need to apply adult terms with all their connotations to children’s things. Particularly not when it’s a very young girl. No need to start playing into all the beauty/appearance rubbish right from that very young age.

[DialsMavis]

I'm sure "statement" is lighthearted.

Whenever DD has had Monsoon or M & S they get lost. If we stick with H & M or Primark it's fine.

Saying that she did have a wicked bowler hat with hot pink poms from M & S.

I always sew her gloves onto elastic and put through her coat to try and avoid loss or theft

[Ninkaninus]

I expect it was used without thinking. But it’s worth thinking about.

Agree that it’s a universal truth of childhood that the risk of loss is directly proportionate to how much you spend, so don’t go too crazy on cost unless you’re happy to buy another set fairly soon!

These are my favourites from M&S:

maybe you could get a statement hat made with "I am not a dress up doll" on it.

How rude.
