I miss Gymboree. Where can I get clothes that are similar?

Gymboree is back. They've been bombarding me with emails. Go to their website and sign up for the mailing list.

How do you have a child that fits in both Primary and Hanna Andersson leggings? Primary is perfect for my tall skinny DD, but HA leggings are made for kids much shorter and wider than her!

I agree - my kids get tiny holes in the other brands you mentioned. Her Children's Place athletic pants and joggers have held up great (in fact, some of the best quality pants I've bought her), but their leggings are very thin.

Praise you. I'm not OP, but all these people kept telling me Primary was amazing, but DD hated the leggings. She is shorter and "wider" and didn't care for Primary at all. Going to take her to the mall to try HA!! Thank you, thank you!

PP here, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone with the term "wider" - I honestly just couldn't think of a better word! I, personally, am short and wide myself, and my DD takes after her tall, thin father

oh my gosh I had the same experience. I ordered a yellow pair and first of all they were see through and you could see my son's diaper right through, so thin and were such a poor fit on my son who is shorter and wider -- I figured they weren't the best fit for his body type but was also just surprised to hear so many raves since the material didn't feel that great to me. Maybe the material was just too stretched on my son's body type.

I also really like June and January leggings - they have held up really well but can be annoying to buy because they do small batches so I feel like colors are constantly out. I want to email them and be like no working parents have time to follow your batches coming out at 10pmest and selling out so quickly. I just want to be able to order pants when I have 5 minutes at work! sorry that was quite the sidebar...

That's possible, or maybe the toddler leggings are a stretchier material. My DD was already in size 5 when we started buying them - the leggings I've bought her are thick and not super stretchy. Because she's so skinny, they fit more like ponte pants than leggings, which I LOVE. You should try their yoga pants if the legs are too slim, though. They're straight leg, not bootcut and would definitely work for boys.

Yes these are great. But my main concern is they never have fun patterns. My DD loves a crazy legging covered in unicorns. So I buy the basic solid ones from LE, but she doesn't prefer those, so we still churn through the crazy unicorn ones from Carters that get holes immediately.

Op here. My daughter’s favorite current pants are unicorn pants from carters. Someone gave them to her. They are not warm at all. That is what sparked this post in the first place. I wanted warm pants for her.

I’m so glad Gymboree is coming back.

I will check out lands end and Hanna Andersson. HA has never been my style but I will check them out for solids. DD is tall and slim.

The mailing list is full... but they do have a few “shop-in-shops” at Children’s Place Springfield and Potomac Mills.
The site says February 2020, so I’ll keep an eye out...

The bummer about the Gymboree relaunch is that it only goes through size 8. I have tall kids who are bigger than that while still young enough to love the Gymboree style.

We've filled in with a mish-mash of Cat & Jack, Lands End, and a tiny bit of Hanna, but it's not the same at all. I also do some used Gymboree via eBay.

So is the plan to sell Gymboree clothing at children’s place? Or are they opening new stores? I feel like they just closed the stores like a year ago. Maybe less in those locations? I don’t see Gymboree in the directory. If they were opening in February, they would normally have Gymboree (coming soon).

Why don’t they sell the clothes online? They should!

I believe it will also be online, once it launches.

They won't be opening new stores; it's a fully TCP-run thing now.

Ahh ok so they will sell Gymboree items at children’s place.

My 5-year-old has a pair of Cat and Jack (Target) fleece-lined leggings. They fit her well--she's slim, with a pretty small waist.

As for Gymboree, all I want is for them to bring back the pajamas with no changes to fit or fabric.

i don't know! She's tall and thin, but both fit her well. HA sells slim leggings, but those are a little too tight on her.

I love HA but I don’t think they sell fleece leggings. Theirs are high quality but not fleece. Cat and Jack’s leggings are not long lasting. It’s good for one season at most.

I now you all are holding out hope for Gymboree, but I don't think the quality is going to be the same. They'll do what Hanna did - similar aesthetic, but cheaper quality.
