Girls' Long Skirts, Ages 2 to 8
These long skirts for girls aged 2 to 8 fall to the lower leg, so they are easy to wear all year. In winter they go over tights with a jumper or cardigan on top. In summer they pair with a T-shirt and sandals and keep the sun off her legs. A longer hem also gives more cover when she sits cross-legged at nursery or on a picnic rug, which makes a long skirt as good for a birthday party as for a weekend at the park.
Choose by her height rather than her age. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. With a long skirt the length matters as much as the waist. If she is between sizes, check the product details before going up, because a hem that is too long can catch on stairs and scooters. Wash each skirt as its care label says. For shorter styles, see Skirts.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's long skirts for girls aged 2 to 8 are longer-length skirts for everyday wear and parties, sized by height in centimetres, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
What size long skirt should I buy for a 5-year-old girl?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm; go up one if she is tall for her age. The hem should sit clear of the ankle so she does not trip on stairs or catch it on a scooter.
What should my daughter wear under a long skirt in winter?
Thick tights or leggings under the skirt keep her legs warm on days below 10°C. Add a jumper or cardigan on top. Ankle boots or trainers sit neatly under a longer hem and keep feet dry on wet school runs.
