As the mother of boys, I know that kids sometimes don’t really care how they look.

But then again, they do. And when it comes to skiing and riding, we all want to look cool.

This season, look for bright colors and creative styling, especially for juniors, with lots of diagonal highlights and fun prints.

Also look for features that maximize your value. Most Spyder, Obermeyer, Burton, Sunice, and 686 jackets offer a feature that extends the jacket sleeves out an extra 1.5”-2”. This means that the jackets can grow with your child and be worn an extra season or two!

Thanks so much to WinterKids.com for providing these highlights from their little kids and junior lines for Winter 2013-2014.

You can find these styles, and many more, at WinterKids.com.

And moms? Don’t feel left out. Go here for a ski fashion preview and giveaway  featuring the best styles from Spyder, Obermeyer, Burton L.A.M.B. and more!
