Spring clothes and rain jackets are marked down in May and June, as summer stock takes over the racks.
Spring is the shortest selling season, so the markdowns come quickly. By late May most light jackets, rain gear and long-sleeved layers are on clearance.
A rain jacket bought in May will next be worn from about March to May, so it needs to fit 12 months from now.
This table is for a kid of average height. It shows the size that fits on clearance day and the size to buy for 12 months later.
