Can anyone recommend some nice tracksuit bottoms for a 9 year old?

She finds restrictive clothing unbearable, so won't wear leggings, jeans or any kind of tight trousers: she pretty much lives in loose dresses, and occasionally shorts. But the weather is getting colder and I need to find some trousers she can wear! She has a school tracksuit, which is perfect: it's a kind of rip-stop fabric on top but partially lined so nice and warm. It also has a drawstring waist so she can make it tight enough (she's slim). But it has the school name on it. I've been letting her wear it, but it isn't ideal.

She isn't yet old enough to have her own fashion ideas, but too old for John Lewis plain jersey practical ones. I'm looking for something both warm and fashionable - and which she'll wear! - but have no idea (I live in jeans).

Can anyone suggest any shops or labels?
Many thanks.

Not sure if it hits the fashionable mark as teen fashion seems to vary from school to school but this under armour tracksuit sounds like the kind of thing you are looking for

I know they're boys trousers, my daughter used to wear her brothers hand me downs at that age, she loved them so much p, I bought some more for her.

Thank you both!

@whatisthisinhere - she's OK with very light (ie not warm!) cargo pants, but padded ones are too restrictive. But thanks for the suggestion

@MavisMonkey - that looks absolutely perfect! More age-appropriate than basic jersey tracksuit (fashionable was the wrong word - she isn't worried about labels, just want her to feel good in what she's wearing) and looks super-soft and comfortable. Thank you!!
