does your LO wear jeans to the park, softplay etc?

[AngelofTroy]

I much prefer dungarees on Micah to any other style as they look very cute and are also loose and practical. I may have a slight dungaree habit... Almost all second hand!

I LOVE all of his dungarees! I wanted to get some of the star patch ones in the sale but they didn't have rio's size he would really like those with the cars on, where are they from? (If you don't mind sharing of course) x

The car ones I think were 'Ladybird' which I think was Woolworths!? They were an eBay bargain!

My sons only ever had one pair of sweat pants that were actually bought for him and he hardly wore them. He hates being restricted, so much so that he wears shorts to school all year round and only puts on any form of trousers, including sweats, under sufferance. He is mush more comfortable in shorts.
My daughter wears a mix of things: leggings, jeans, shorts, dresses, skirts. She doesn't seem to be any more restricted in jeans as opposed to leggings.
At soft play she'll wear whatever I've put her in that day. At the park though I would tend to put her in jeans as they are harder wearing.

Eta: I love dungerees too. Both of mine wore them a lot.

I love all Micha's dungarees! He is so stylish!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Oh i love dungarees. All Js come from the 'boys' section.

 

[jd83]

My boys wear both. Depends on what we are doing that day, but I have no problem with soft cotton pants. They are comfy and easy to play in. I'm not a huge fan of the ones with the elastic band at the bottom. I prefer the ones that are just hemmed like regular pants, just a soft material.

I LOVE dungarees too, but they are too much of a pain once they are working on potty training/already potty trained.

Joggers are for chilling at home, I'd never take him out in them. We don't wear joggers out the house so neither does he. If I had a girl if have her in leggings, tights and dresses mainly just coz little girls look adorable in them. I don't even think id get a girl joggers for at home, I'd just keep her in leggings

 

[AngelUK]

jd83 the ones with the elastic band is what I imagine when I read sweat pants. My boys were in soft cotton ones without gathered bands for their first year plus. And I avoided the grey ones as they were too sweater pantlike again. but the ones that are without and not too baggy I have no problem with even now.

 

[catty]

He has a few pairs that are skinnier fit than the rest and I wouldnt put him in these to softplay but his regular jeans I would put him in.
he doesnt own any joggers mainly because they dont really suit him I think they make him look chavvy

I dont think they make other childen look that way only my son as he is quite short legs and on the chubbier side

my daughter doesnt own any jeans at all as she has the tiniest waist that even 0-3 doesnt fit (7 months) so she mainly wears, jeggings, leggings and denim dresses

That's what I envisioned too for sweat pants, but didn't know if this was one of those words that is used differently for clothing over there than it is over here

 

[jd83]

Funny story about sweats:
My 4 yr old the other day told me that people wear sweat shirts on days that they need to sweat....

Yeah, I also had no good comment to give to that aside from giggling.

 

[Sarah125]

I wouldn't put Sophie in proper jeans at this point in time as it just don't think they are that comfy for her running, climbing about etc.

She does own jeans but they aren't proper jeans, just trousers that look like jeans if that makes any sense. She just wears whatever she picks out but they are all comfy. She has leggings, cords, joggers, trousers.

As long as she is comfy and clean I don't worry about it

I never notice what other kids are wearing but I have seen kids dressed in very nice clothes to the park etc and the mums keep yelling at them to stay out mud or not to do this and that as they will make their clothes dirty and I feel quite sorry for the kids! It's all fun at the end of the day and clothes can be replaced or washed!

This is what DS wears, I don't buy with elastic at the bottom. I had no idea there were haters until I found out on BnB! And for the record, if it was socially acceptable, I would wear the same. But what is acceptable for a toddler and adult are two different things here.

 

[JessyG]

LOL, if it weren't for B&B, I would have had no idea that sweatpant/trackpant haters existed.

My LOs wear whatever is appropriate and comfortable. Shorts in summer. Sweatpants, leggings or playpants in spring/autumn. Jeans, chinos and cords in winter. Light dresses in summer and thick leggings with a dress over in winter for my daughter.

I don't know what they are but I want some playpants!!

I always found leggings made my arse look a bit saggy but I love them for my daughter. That or dresses and tights. She has the odd pair of trousers but only one pair of proper jeans. They look so cute but I cant imagine they are very comfy so she has only worn them once so far.

One pair of gap joggers but not been worn yet (they were a gift)

 

[felix555]

Ok I've been out today looking for a toddler girl wearing leggings (not specifically, I was out anyways)

I see now they're not like adult leggings. They do look quite cute.

 

[sue_88]

^^ I would post a picture of my LO who's in matching top and leggings today if it wasnt for the enchilada she's just smushed all in her hair we went to soft play today and she did great, climbed areas she's never climbed before so must be ok for that.

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Yep toddler girl leggings are fantastic for play!

 

[Scout]

Ah, if you're talking sweats with the elastic at the bottom around the leg, then uggg I can't stand them for little one or myself. Just never liked them. (we do both wear straight leg sweats that look a lot like regular pants) Actually went to soft play today (not planned) and lo had on jeans and she did just fine. Of course her jeans are stretchy and soft with an elastic waist. I, otoh, was in sweats LOL

Whatever Micah is wearing he is allowed to get muddy so long as he's not uncomfortably wet and I'm unable to change him.

 

[MommyJogger]

Wow, some of you guys would be so incredibly bothered seeing me in public. I don't like things around my ankles, but I also hate women's capri exercise pants (because I don't particularly like that all women's pants are made to mold against the body). I wear men's sweat pants, with the elastic ankles, but I pull the elastics up to my knees to make it capri-length. With flip-flops or my very old original five-finger soft-sole yoga shoes (they're like toddler rubberoos if those were toe socks) whenever the weather lets me get away with it.
I also just realized that a lot of DS1's sweat pants have metal buttons at the waist. Because I guess that's supposed to make them more chic? There's zero function to them.
