Girls Capri Leggings
From LoveToKnow Childrens Clothing
Girls' capri leggings offer girls and parents additional clothing accessory options. These cute and functional items can be worn a variety of ways, giving girls a choice in how to sport the latest fashions.
Ways to Wear Girls' Capri Leggings
Capri leggings lend themselves well to different styles. They can be worn with dresses, tunics and by girls in skirts. Imaginative girls can even wear these girls leggings with shorts or pants. What makes girls' capri leggings so versatile is the length; instead of coming all the way down the leg, these stop mid-calf. Sometimes, they'll feature a ruffled or lacy cuff. You can find them in a wide range of colors and patterns, or you can buy them plain.
Try these different options when dressing a little one or giving an older girl the opportunity to put her own outfit together:
- With a dress: This is an easy way to add some flair to a dress. Capri leggings work with dresses in virtually any season, but are particularly useful during spring and fall, when temperature variations make extra layers necessary. Unlike winter, when girls tights or full-length leggings are more appropriate, capri leggings offer a little more coverage.
- With a skirt: Leggings worn with a skirt can match either the skirt or the top. This is a look that older girls look good in, and as with many fashion trends, trickles down to the younger set.
- Pair with tunics: Tunics can be problematic for parents in that once a girl gets too tall for one, it looks like a long shirt, but isn't long enough to wear without something on the bottom. Leggings can solve this problem easily.
Leggings offer a good amount of coverage for dresses that are on the short side. As many parents know, some girls get attached to an item of clothing, even when it gets too small or short for them. If she has a dress she loves, but it is reaching her thighs instead of her knees (but fits everywhere else—common during growth spurts when the legs lengthen dramatically), let her wear a pair of leggings underneath.
Matching Leggings
There are so many ways to accessorize an outfit with leggings. You can always go for a full match and pair leggings in the same color to a dress or tunic, or you can opt for a bright and high-contrast look by pairing complementary colors together.
A girl can wear a dark blue dress with leggings in colors like:
- Gray
- White
- Black
- Polka dot
- Bright pink
Each of these legging options give her a different look, from classic and subdued to funky and cheerful.
If you can find two-piece outfits that feature a top and matching leggings, you can often pair the leggings with other garments, making them multi-functional, something budget-conscious parents will appreciate.

Being able to wear them with a variety of outfits makes these clothing accessories the perfect blend of fashion and function.
