They're comfy, I'm not a big fan of joggers, he would wear them with T-shirts. Is he going to look ridiculous?

My gs has got some and they look cute!

No I don't think so! I've bought my 2yr old DS some fir when it's a bit warmer. I'm not keen on jogging bottoms either!

My ds is 22 months and wears leggings almost every day

Leggings are fine, but don't take her on a plane

My ds(2) wears lots of leggings, Blade and rose do some really cute boyish style ones, so comfy and great especially at soft plays x

My 2.5 yr DS old lives in leggings!

My 18 month Ds wears them I think they are comfy and look nicer than joggers. There are lots with "boy" designs. He has long hair and gorgeous eyes and gets mistaken for a girl lots. I don't care.

My 2yr old boy loves his leggings. Also, he finds them easier to pull up and down (we've just potty trained).

TJDetweiler · 27/03/2017 20:27

They've been ordered, just went for plain black ones from the girls section so he can wear jazzy tops with them.

Thanks everyone.

My nearly 4 yr old son wears them - there're comfy and I don't like jogging bottoms either. He's very tall so they are easier too as trousers to fit his height are too big around the waist. His sister is short and five yrs older but they are similar heights so he will wear hers too. Go for it! I second Blade and Rose they are lovely!

jazzy tops Grin

3 year old son is often in leggings. Easy for pottytraining and I hate tracksuit bottoms.

Booksandmags79 · 27/03/2017 20:32

Also Zara do lovely very slim fit joggers which are similar to leggings and great designs. My son wears them a lot as I agree that most joggers aren't always the nicest!

A lot of leggings related threads on here tonight!

ligersaremyfavouriteanimal · 27/03/2017 20:33

Of course!! I don't like jogging bottoms but leggings are so comfy and look great. Be bold and get some bright colours/prints! Smile My DS only wears leggings.

savagehk · 27/03/2017 20:35

4yo son prefers them too. Only issue as I just discovered is that once you buy the bigger sizes they are tighter and more transparent. He's just got a yellow pair which are indecently tight and you can see his underwear through them Blush
Until now they have been a bit thicker and baggier!

MrsDarkDestroyer · 27/03/2017 20:37

Fred and Noah do some lovely boys leggings.

ThePiglet59 · 27/03/2017 20:37

Are two year old clothes gender specific?

Fl0ellafunbags · 27/03/2017 20:38

We did the type with stripy legs and a bumble bee on the arse. DS couldn't keep trousers on but the leggings stayed put brilliantly and were fully cute.

My 4yo DS loves his leggings, I've found h&m are fab quality.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 27/03/2017 20:45

Just interested in what people don't like about jogging bottoms, but they like leggings.
Joggers are looser like trousers but still soft and comfy. Surely leggings look like they are in underwear or pyjamas, ok for babies but a bit strange for older children.

My 6 yo wears sports leggings for gymnastics. He very, very rarely wears any other trousers- probably about 5 times a year. The rest of the time he wears shorts as he likes his knees to air and the leggings don't bother him like trousers/ tracksuit bottoms do.

amusedbush · 27/03/2017 20:51

My friend dresses her DTS's in brightly coloured leggings and tops and they look adorable.

TJDetweiler · 27/03/2017 21:05

I'm loving the Fred and Noah ones!
