| My dd wears them under her uniform every day. We have some from HA that are on their 3rd yr. in my experience, much better than Boden, gap, lands end. Just have to buy them in bulk on sale |

colors that are not pink, purple, sparkly or have anything on the tushy. Thank you. and pants for girls. Is that possible? I am keeping all of my son's pants for my daughter b/c I don't totally love the dress/legging thing for a busy girl. Not practicle. and my girl gets pissed when the dress gets in her way. Then wants to be naked. Maybe she'll outgrow that. She's not even 2 yet. |

This is exactly the direction we are headed. Less pink and sturdy since girls have a lot of do and a lot more interests past what the traditional marketplace offers. Thanks for your input!! I have a super short survey if anyone has a girl between 5 and 11 about what they need to feel confident wearing everyday. You can email me at containthis@yahoo.com! |

| Crazy enough, the Target and Carters/OshKosh leggings seem to last the longest for us. |

We've always had great luck with Boden! |

I like the ones that aren't terribly snug. One pair from Target was disgustingly tight for a three year old (and my kid's on the slender side!) |

I really hate Gymboree's basic leggings. They get droopy after a few hours and fade in the wash. The hand me down Gymboree leggings from my 13yr old look better than the brand new ones I get for my 5yr old. I don't recommend the new ones in the store.
That said, in the winter they have ponte pants that are REALLY nice, thick and sturdy. Much like jeggings. My daughter loves them. She hates all things jeans/khaki but loves those. I do love leggings from Lands End, Hanna and LL Bean. |

| My daughter is 3 and fairly rough on her leggings. She normally gets them horribly stained before they ever wear out, so we go with Children's Place since I end up getting them for around $4 a pair. Once we get to the point of less stains, we may go for a longer lasting brand. |

Colors that do not fade. Nothing with sparkle. Good elastic band at waist and bottoms that the hems don't start to pull. Knees that stay fit after play. It would be nice to have winter versions with light fleece inside and summer ones that are on the thinner side. I find that many tomboys don't like to wear short shorts and that is what most places offer. And for t-shirts nothing with fitted shape, no huge openings in the collar and no v-necks. It is very very hard to find basic t-shirts for girls that don't look trashy, right or see-thru. |

Hanna leggings are sturdy but they tend to be a little baggy and fade.
Boden leggings fade in the knee right away and are too tight at the ankle opening. J.Crew leggings nice but get holes in the knee quickly. Polarn O Pyret leggings are the best I've found. |

+1 for Naartjie and Gymboree. Never bought Gap. |

This was my thought with the PP who said her DD just wears the leggings with holes. I have two DDs and I just sew up the holes. It takes all of 2 minutes. For OP -- they all seem to get holes in the knees, so I opt for cheap leggings from Old Navy or Target. |

Not sure where the line is between legging and fitted pant. We have a pairs of thin "leggings" that all seem to wear out fast, no matter the brand. And then we have much thicker "pants" that have lasted fine. (Gap and Tea, mostly)
They were all sold as leggings. |
