girls and dresses...what does your 12 year old put on her legs?


Recommended Posts

My daughter is 12 and when she wears dresses to church, she doesn't like wearing "little girl" tights...nor does she like the look of leggings...skin colored hose makes her look to old...so what should we do? Any thoughts??? Oh, she gets really cold in the winter, so something must go on her legs...What do your daughters do??

Maybe tights like the ones from Lands' End or Hanna Andersson? Or is that what she's referring to as little girl tights? Point out to her that the Hanna tights come in women's sizes too. Also maybe just cable knit tights?

 

There are also colored tights for women that are a little thicker than hose. Get one good pair in navy, white, ivory and black and she should be good to go. They're not as warm as tights, but it might be a good compromise.

Buy ladies' tights in a small size--they're smoother and more comfortable than girls' tights. Target carries tights in Small and Junior sizes--in myriad colors and designs. The Assets brand is particularly comfortable and durable. Take her with you and let her pick out the ones she wants--she might be more likely to wear them if she picks them out.

 

There aren't that many choices for warm leg wear: it's tights, leggings, hosiery or pants. :tongue_smilie: (Pantyhose really aren't that warm.) My daughters wear tights or leggings with nearly everything when it's cold. They also often wear leggings and a pair of socks with boots rather than tights--the leggings are thicker and therefore a lot warmer.
