Can't find them
Don't want them from next with diggers on
Have exhausted H&M

My son is 3 but big and needs to wear age 4-5
I used to be able to get him lovely leggings but as hes gotten older I can't find them

Where do you get them?

He's 3 and needs them because when he wears stiff trousers he wets himself

I'm drained

I actually make these. Plus Harems etc...
I would say go on etsy, there are some amazing sellers (including me, lol) on there, most you can choose your fabric.
Can't beat handmade for well made.

Fred and Noah or Sainsbury's I always find some 👍🏻

phenomenalcat · 24/01/2020 23:17

Piccalilly and Toby Tiger do them too.

LetUsBeElegantOrDie · 24/01/2020 23:36

I used to get stuff from here www.tinyvikings.co.uk great quality

1stTimeMama · 24/01/2020 23:40

Maxomorra have fab prints for boys.

There’s a lovely woman who makes lovely soft boys’ legging style joggers in gorgeous patterns near me. She has a FB page called Do, Make & Mend.

H&M gage leggings. I don’t know if you mention ‘ boys’ because you want blue s? I bought daughter’s there and there were lots of neutrals .

DorothyWasRightTho · 25/01/2020 04:12

Lindex are great for this kind of thing and a lot of their stuff is neutral whilst still being interesting bright prints!

Ribrabrob · 25/01/2020 05:47

You’re drained from looking for some leggings? Really? Confused

myself2020 · 25/01/2020 06:07

Maxomorra softpants and Little Green Radicals star joggers are pretty much leggings, but not as flimsy as regular leggings

FagAsh · 25/01/2020 06:10

M&S do them in pyjama sets?

cultkid · 25/01/2020 06:54

Some really good tips here

Maybe I'll practise sewing I've not done in since secondary school!

I'm not going to put him in pyjamas
Will look at the other suggests on here incl very which one poster said did slim fit joggers which would be nicer then the baggy elasticated ones and warmer then the thin ones!

If you're inspired, look at SewCanShe's website where she has a tutorial on basic leggings showing how to sew them on an ordinary machine, with pictures. There's a free downloadable pattern, too.

For a boy you might want to use cuffs rather than just a hem at the bottom. This pattern would work well with a heavier sweatshirting fabric, though you might want to cut a little more generously on the width.

Once you've made a pair, you'll make half a dozen! My top is to sew a bright thread cross into the back inside centre because there will be no label to help him out them on right way round.

Have fun!

Another one for Zara

Kanga83 · 25/01/2020 14:03

Look at M&Co. the boys joggers are very soft and slim fitting. My boy lives in them. Also three but in 4-5 5-6 clothes.

neddle · 25/01/2020 14:08

Definitely go with the handmade clothing shops.
I use StarryNightSewing.com as they’re local and they have quite a few non girly prints.

Yorkshirelass1997 · 19/09/2020 13:15

Another for Zara and Bullabaloo.

yellowmaoampinball · 19/09/2020 13:20

It's been 8 months, I expect she's found some trousers by now...

aussiechick01 · 19/09/2020 15:37

Blade and Rose do older boys leggings

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 19/09/2020 15:40

My 6 year old boy likes the sports leggings

DipSwimSwoosh · 19/09/2020 15:49

Do boys have different legs to girls? I bought my 6 year old son some leggings from Primark, Tesco and H&M. I don't think they were made specifically for boys. They are just navy or grey with stars on or whatever.
