Kids' Bottoms

How do I choose the right size for kids bottoms?

Most children's bottoms are sized by age and height rather than a fixed waist number, so the smartest first step is to measure your child. Take their height and waist, then compare both against the size chart on each product page. If your child sits between two sizes, we usually suggest going up so the pants last through a growth spurt. Adjustable waistbands and elastic help you get a comfortable fit without constant fussing.

Which fabrics work best for everyday wear?

Children move fast, so give them fabrics that move too. Soft cotton and cotton blends breathe well for school and play, while knit joggers and leggings add stretch for climbing, running and playing. For warmer months, lightweight woven shorts and skirts keep little legs cool. Most of our bottoms are made to go straight into the wash, which matters when grass stains and snack spills are part of the day.

What to wear for school, play and parties

• School days: joggers and leggings that stay put and layer easily under a uniform.
• Active play: stretchy shorts and jersey pants that let them run, jump and tumble.
• Dressier moments: a twirl friendly skirt or a smart pair of trousers for birthdays and family gatherings.
• Holidays and travel: soft, packable bottoms that fold small and pair with almost any top.

Because kids grow quickly, we like pieces that mix and match with the rest of their wardrobe. Stick to a few core colors and add a print or two, and you can build a week of outfits from a small stack of bottoms. Start with the styles they reach for most, then fill in the gaps for the seasons ahead.
