Girls' Leggings, Ages 2 to 8
Girls' leggings for ages 2 to 8 take her from nursery through the first years of primary school. Leggings stretch, so they move with a girl who spends the day climbing, crouching and sitting on the floor. They sit under dresses, tunics and longer tops, and work on their own with a T-shirt or jumper. Each product page gives the fabric of that pair.
A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. If she is between sizes, go up one: the stretch keeps the fit close, and you get more wear before the ankle starts to show. In colder months, put them under a pinafore or dress with a long-sleeved top and socks pulled over the hem. Follow the care label on each pair when washing. For older sizes, see Teens.
Your questions answered
MINOTI leggings for girls aged 2 to 8 are made to wear under dresses and tunics or with a T-shirt or jumper, in centimetre sizes such as 116 cm for a typical 5-year-old.
What size leggings does a 5-year-old need?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If she is tall for her age or between sizes, 122 cm gives a little more length in the leg, and the stretch keeps the fit close.
How do I layer leggings for a 3-year-old in winter?
Put them under a dress or pinafore with a long-sleeved top and a jumper, then add a coat to go outside. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, or 110 cm if she is tall for her age.
