How to measure before ordering
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.
