I blame Kylie.

carriedababi · 11/12/2009 16:37

yeah thats what i though too

kylie and those bloody gold hotpants!

you can't even watch mtv with kids these days as it almost pornographic, girls acting as if they are having sex and men always clothed inbaggy stuff

I saw them in Next yesterday too and stopped in my tracks. They're awful. Even if they were worn over tights they'd still be awful on a three year old.

sherby · 11/12/2009 16:39

are they actually hotpants or are they sequin shorts?

carriedababi · 11/12/2009 16:42

the same people that buy leather jackets for 2 year olds (zara) or sequin boob tubes for a child of any age!

choppychopster · 11/12/2009 16:44

I reckon my 3yo DD would love sequinned gold hotpants. Not a chance of me buying them though!

sherby · 11/12/2009 16:45

so if you put them on a 3 year old they would be skin tight hot pants?

I would be very surprised if that were the case tbh

Amandoh · 11/12/2009 16:46

I'm sure Next would tell us they're shorts but they're very short shorts.

Can't find them on the website or I'd show you.

Lulumama · 11/12/2009 16:57

DD has them.....and she has lelli kellys

She wears hers with plain thick black tights, black boots , nothing odd about them IMO

they are not skin tight, they are not like wearing knickers , just short shorts

carriedababi · 11/12/2009 17:47

isn't your dd alot older though?

OP posts:
Lulumama · 11/12/2009 17:52

no, she is 4.5

she had cord short shorts from gap last year

i can assure you that she is not sexualised, just by wearing short shorts with thick wooly tights

i have far more objection ot playboy clothes and strappy clothes, heels for young girls, than short shorts

wordsonascreen · 11/12/2009 17:54

dd(5) wears short shorts with leggings underneath for gym

She looks very retro

Am tempted to add leg warmers

Sequin/mequins

Depends how you wear them

wordsonascreen · 11/12/2009 17:56

Mind you all the bloody girls in her gym class are now wearing them

[curse of the fashionista]

carriedababi · 11/12/2009 18:19

suppose 4.5 is still nearly double the age of my dd, shes nearly 2.5 but tall, thats why i look at 3 year old clothes.

give it another couple of years and i might be eatting my words!

i thikn tere are ways of wearing clothes that could look inappropriate, but in a way that is appropriate.. If that makes sense!

choppychopster · 11/12/2009 20:58

DD wears denim shorts over some patterned wooly tights with either boots or pumps. It looks cool. Fed up of all the sequinned stuff that's around at the moment though as it would probably only get worn a couple of times
