Ralph Lauren Glossy Hooded Down Bomber Jacket Navy

A hooded down jacket for girls from Ralph Lauren in navy, cut as a bomber: a short jacket that ends around the waist, a shape that comes from the jackets of early pilots. The glossy finish gives it a chic shine, and the embroidered Pony, the polo player on horseback, is the brand's logo.

Down is the soft under-plumage of water birds. It traps warm air in tiny pockets, so the jacket is warm yet light. The hood keeps out wind and drizzle on the way to school.

Choose the usual age size; the bomber cut leaves room for a sweater underneath, such as the Cricket V-Neck Sweater. Navy goes with jeans, tights and a pleated skort.
