Leggings! There are few women nor little girls in the world that argue against the absolute awesomeness that is leggings.
Activewear has become the everyday wear of America, and little girls and women alike are taking the trend seriously.
That is why I created My Petite & Me, and why I knew that mommy and me matching activewear, especially leggings, would be so much fun.
In this article, learn about what makes the best leggings, check out some good brands, and learn what kind of leggings NOT to buy!
The Best Leggings for Girls
The best leggings for girls are leggings that meet a few of our top requirements here at My Petite & Me.
Quality
Leggings for girls need to be made of a quality material. That means they stretch, move, and breathe while not being see-through. Plus, here we believe that clothes should last, even when kids are rough on them. So, we make sure that the fabric will hold up in the washing machine and for lots of hard wears out of the field, and in the yard.
Fit
Leggings for girls need to fit correctly. My Petite & Me tried many different prototypes to get it right, and one of the biggest problems we found with fit was the waistband. If they are too tight, little girls will not wear them. If they are too loose, then they don’t stay up. No mama wants her girl out there looking like a plumber!
Many cheap brands don’t worry with fit, but this is what sets My Petite & Me a part. I looked at all the most popular brands on the market (you can see this list below) and had many little girls from all our offered sizes, (2T -7y) not just try them on, but wear them, move in them, and play hard in them.
Length
Leggings for girls need to be the right length. Capri leggings for girls are a great start for length. My Petite & Me loved the look of capris but opted for a bit more length so that girls’ leggings stay looking long, and a bit trendier and more fashionable. We also wanted this longer look for moms in our women’s and maternity pants. The longer look gives us the opportunity to make mommy and me activewear trendy and fashionable.
Wearability
Finally, the best leggings for girls must be leggings that little girls will love to wear. That means that they are full of fun, bright colors, and in interesting and trendy prints that make them cool to wear. If there is one thing that we know for a fact at My Petite & Me, it is that little girls will not wear what they don’t love. So, we set out to find prints and colors, plus comfortability that little girls will be excited about.
Girls Athletic Leggings
There are so many benefits to little girls wearing athletic leggings.
First, they are a super cute and fun. When leggings and clothes are exciting wear then it makes getting dressed a lot easier!
Second, we strived for comfortability. Little girls will fight any outfit that doesn’t “feel good” on. We wanted these girls’ leggings to be a no fight leggings!
Most importantly, we looked for the ability to play and be active. Little girls want to be able to run, jump, kick, cartwheel, hit, twirl… you name it just like the boys do, but often their athleticwear consists of short shorts, skirts, and other clothes that make it harder for girls to feel confident and able to play like they want to. Girls’ athletic pants are made for girls to be able to be active, without having to worry about their clothes.
At My Petite & Me, we want to encourage little girls to be bold, powerful, and to not feel held back, especially by their outside appearance. We decided starting with good, comfortable, and reliable activewear is what we believe can help little girls achieve their dreams.
Good Leggings Brands
The Most Popular Questions
The most popular question we hear at My petite & Me is “What are good legging brands that are cheap?”.
We have already laid out the best leggings for girls, but let’s talk about pricing.
Price of Leggings
There is a fine line between made cheap and being affordable. We took that seriously here. We wanted girls’ active leggings to be affordable. They are made for toddlers. Toddler leggings size 2T, toddler leggings size 3T, toddler leggings size 4T, toddler leggings size 5T, and girls leggings size 6 and 7. We want the price to match the kid’s clothing. In our research, many of these large companies sell their kids clothing so cheap but they are made with poor quality fabrics, poor quality workmanship, and are more worried about bulk sales and less about the individual little girl that wears them.
That is the opposite of what My Petite & Me is founded on.
Good Products for our Girls
No mom wants to pull her kid’s athletic leggings out the wash to have them faded, coming a part, or shrunken. Buying super cheap probably means the time, effort, and thought put into making the clothing was slim, and the quality of legging or athletic wear is not to the standards of most moms.
Clothes Your Girl Loves
Plus, My Petite & Me is focused on YOUR little girl. We care about every individual young girl that wears our clothing. We want her to be inspired to be healthy, active, empowered, and happy while wearing our activewear. And we really care about helping create more meaningful and healthy relationships with mommy and their girls. That is what the Mommy & Me athletic pant line is all about. A way to stand together, learn from one another, and support one another.
The second most popular question we get here is “What are some good quality leggings?”.
Good quality leggings for little girls and toddlers are from companies that took time to research and play around with the fit. Brands that choose fabric that is not only comfortable but quality. Brands that had real toddlers play in the clothing to see how they worked and make adjustments. And made sure that moms and little girls a like would love wearing the leggings. If you want some good quality leggings, then look no further than our girls activewear line and our mommy and me activewear line.
Other brands. There are other popular brands that you may have heard of, and while we want you to shop small and get the most quality, we always want to give you all your options, and let you make the choice that fits you best.
