Someone gave Miki some clothes. There are a lot of vests in here. Like zippered vests that are thick like coats with no sleeves.
WTH are they for? When do kids wear them.
No offense to those who have kids that wear them but I have NO IDEA the point of them. Thats like saying, its cold outside but its hot outside. Its like saying I'm hot, but its cold outside so I'm just going to leave my arms out. I dont get it. Do she wear in the summer or winter? When its hot or cold? Spring or fall? Can some please enlighten me?
Looks similar to this:

hahahahaha I say the SAME things to my mom who loves to wear these types of vests. I think you wear them in the Spring/Fall when it's just a tad chilly outside.

I wear them alot outside. If you wear a turtle neck or long sleeve tee under them you stay quite warm. Keeping your core temperature up keeps your limbs warm because the blood flowing to them is warm. So those vests are actually very comfy for like 40-55*F weather! I use them for running when it's really cold outside too. HTH!

Thanks yall because I was sooo confused, I still dont fully understand the concept though. I just packed them up ot give to the salvation army b/c it didnt make any sense. I'll leave out one or 2 of them to see if I like her wearing them in the spring or fall.

It's different when you live in a colder climate Chelle, hahaha. Those vests are GREAT for a crisp fall day when it is too warm for a full jacket but not cold enough for a sweater. You can wear a long sleeve shirt underneath and have the vest on. I love them, but mine are fleece not down or anything like that.

I agree with heather! In oregon alot of the times is too humid for a jacket, but too cold for just a long sleeve shirt. Vest come in mighty handy for fall-spring!

They are worn lots here (depending on what's in style)! Great for playing at the park and active little ones. Not as restricting as a big winter jacket but still warm when worn with a sweater/turtle neck. Usually worn on cool spring/falll days.

i LOVE those vests, i only have one but i love it. i like to wear it with a hoodie underneath to take my dog for walks in spring/fall. maybe it is more of a colder climate thing. like during spring/fall sometimes its cold when u first go out but once u get moving u warm up a lot, so u can unzip the vest and its not like u have to cary around a huge parka......kwim? i guess they are most useful for layering is why u probably see skiers wearing them, layering is key on the mountain!
