Girls' Leggings & Tights

When putting together a wardrobe for your little girl, it's important to consider various factors such as comfort, versatility and durability. Our range of leggings and tights tick all these boxes. Made using fabrics such as cotton, our girls' leggings are breathable yet warm. You may be wondering whether girls' leggings are suitable for colder weather—the quality of the fabric in our range makes them suitable for wear in nearly every season. The elasticated waistband and hint of stretch in the fabrication make them durable and long-lasting for growing girls, as well as being comfortable for active days or simply relaxing. They are available in plain colours or patterned options, with animal prints, geometric patterns, polka dots in various colours and floral designs depending on the season. Many of the playful prints are designed by our in-house team and are exclusive to Country Road. For easy days at home to casual outings, our girls' leggings are extremely versatile. They can be worn instead of pants with a sweatshirt or t-shirt and sneakers, or your little girl can wear the leggings layered under skirts or dresses in the cooler weather for added warmth and to add interest to an outfit. Different textural finishes such as ribbing add another element to some of our legging designs, creating even more variety in the range. Have fun mixing and matching prints and colours with your little girl to create all kinds of looks. Similar to leggings, tights are great for layering to create extra warmth on cooler days. However, tights and leggings are not the same—girls' tights are not designed to be worn on their own but rather as a base layer over which other garments can be added. Tights are not as thick as leggings, and they have feet attached. They're best for wearing under dresses and skirts, but if your little girl feels the cold, she may even want to wear them under pants, jeans and sweats in the winter. She could also try styling them under denim shorts, adding a pair of socks in another colour and boots or sneakers for a fun yet warm and practical cool-weather outfit. Girls' black tights are a wardrobe standard, as they instantly add a smart touch to dresses and skirts, so it's a good idea to have a pair or two on hand. In terms of care, leggings and tights are some of the easiest items to look after in a girl's wardrobe. You can care for and wash girl's leggings and tights by following the care instructions on each garment. Simply wash them with other similarly coloured items at the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric—a cool setting is probably best. Air dry them or follow instructions if you need to use a tumble drier. As they are made from fabric that contains a hint of stretch, they generally do not need ironing, so they're a sensible choice both for your little girl and you.
