Baggy’s Back: Why We’re Loving the Return of Loose-Fit Trousers for Kids
October 10 2025 – Lottie & Lysh
If you’ve been around Lottie & Lysh for a while, you’ll know we have a soft spot for leggings. They’ve been a favourite for years – comfy, stretchy, easy to wear, and pretty much indestructible. But lately, we’ve noticed something changing.
Leggings, while still loved, aren’t quite the obsession they used to be. Parents are starting to look for something different. Something with the same comfort and grow room, but with a little extra style and attitude. So, we got to work.
And we couldn’t be happier to say that the surfer and skater vibe is back.
Which feels right at home for us here in Newquay.
Meet Our Baggy Trousers
Our new baggy trousers bring all the things you loved about leggings, just in a totally different silhouette. They’re roomy, relaxed, and ridiculously cool. Designed to last through growth spurts, adventures, and everything in between.
We make them from soft, stretchy jersey fabric – the kind that moves with your little one, not against them. Each pair has a relaxed, drop-crotch fit, an elasticated waistband, and that extra bit of length you can roll up or down as they grow. So, just like our classic leggings, these will last for ages.
The difference? They’ve got a whole new energy.
Why Baggy Trousers Just Work
Comfort first, always. But then there’s practicality. The oversized cut gives children total freedom to move, run, climb, and play without restriction. No tugging or adjusting, just pure comfort and flow.
They’re brilliant value too. The stretch in the fabric and the generous cut mean they’ll fit far longer than standard trousers. If you’ve ever sighed at how quickly your little one grows out of something, you’ll appreciate how long these last.
Some of our styles even have pockets – perfect for little treasures, snacks, or just somewhere to keep tiny hands cosy.

Mix, Match, and Make It Easy
We’ve also designed a range of tops that pair perfectly with these prints. Think easy mix-and-match outfits that make getting dressed simple, comfortable, and stylish – no matter what combination you grab in the morning.
Everything works together, which means more wear from every piece and less time spent rummaging through drawers. We’re big believers in making wardrobes that work hard, not pile up.
The New Everyday Essential
These baggy trousers are already becoming a new staple for our customers, and it’s easy to see why. They tick every box – comfort, durability, style, and a little nod to the skater spirit that fits so naturally into our world here by the sea.
They’re playful yet practical. Distinctive but timeless. And most importantly, they’re made to move with your child, not against them.
We’ve loved watching this trend grow, and it feels like such a natural next step for Lottie & Lysh. A bit freer, a bit bolder, and still made with love.

Yes to the return of this style! It reminds me of my youth growing up in the 90s, and I’m loving my kids rocking the styles I used to wear. About to stick an order through for basically every pair haha
