Youth leggings fit guide

Youth leggings size guide

Use this guide to choose the right youth leggings size before ordering. Measure a pair of leggings that already fits well, then compare those measurements with the chart below.

Measure flat Lay a well-fitting pair of leggings on a flat surface. Do not stretch the fabric while measuring.
Compare garment to garment These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Compare them with leggings your child already wears.
Between sizes? Choose the larger size if your child is growing quickly or prefers a little more room.

Youth leggings size chart - inches

Use the inch chart if you are measuring with a tape measure marked in inches. Small differences are normal because fabric has stretch.

Fit note: Youth leggings are designed to sit close to the body with a flexible stretch fit. For comfort, movement, and easier dressing, size up if your child is between two sizes.

How to measure before ordering

Half waist Measure straight across the waistband from one side seam to the other while the leggings are lying flat.
Inseam length Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the ankle opening.
Front rise Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband.

Choosing the right fit

Youth wrestling-inspired leggings should feel secure without feeling restrictive. They need enough stretch for movement, play, practice, parties, and costume wear.

Choose the smaller size if

Your child is at the lower end of the size range, already wears close-fitting sportswear, or prefers leggings to feel snug and secure.

Choose the larger size if

Your child is between sizes, growing quickly, dislikes tight waistbands, or will wear the leggings for long periods at events or parties.
