To put a boy in leggings?

I recently bought some leggings for my 15month old boy just plain navy, white and some black ones. I thought they looked fine and he was comfy and happy. However DH isn't happy as they were from the girls section in next. Does it really matter? He thinks leggings are for girls only, he's not the only one most of the family are saying I'm wrong for putting him in leggings. Surely I'm not the only one to put a boy in leggings!

Sainsburys have some fab 'girls' Christmas leggings, which my 3.6 year old ds has asked for!!!

Polarn O Pyret do great unisex clothing if that makes your DH feel any better. They're not cheap though, so ask him if he'd rather pay £14 for a pair from POP with cars on, or £10 for 3 plain ones from the girl's section in Sainsbury's Wink

I know a 10 year old boy that wears leggings - he likes them. It doesn't make him a girl.

They are just soft trousers - a different form of track pants. They aren't a home castration device, and your DH is being ridiculous.

And your baby is 15 months! Posh boys used to wear big frilly dresses and long curls until they were about four years old, and it didn't make them girls, either.

Ahem. Slugs and snails tights.

Is it just the leggings and the shoes that make him say you're trying to turn your son into a girl or are there other things you are apparently doing? What were the shoes like?

I haven’t got baby but I saw those Blade and Rose ones today when out shopping with teen DD (in a dept store) and we were saying how cute they were. Def unisex!!!

My friend makes leggings for babies and young children in a range of funky prints and definitely suitable for boys and girls. She also custom makes orders as well. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/VioletandTedShop/items?section_id=21333490

My 7 yo ds has a pair of black leggings. He loves them as they aren't as restrictive as jeans and trousers.
