Ribbed Cashmere Winter Leggings

Ribbed Cashmere Blend Leggings with Velvet Lining, in 4 Colours, for Girls Ages 1-8

Most of our winter leggings lean towards jersey knit and a printed or embroidered detail. This one takes a different route entirely, a vertical rib knit in a cashmere, cotton and spandex blend, with nothing printed or embroidered on it at all. The texture does the work instead.

Available in Grey, Beige, Pink and Black, it sits closer to a knitwear piece than a typical legging, something that would look equally at home under a smart tunic as it does under everyday play clothes.

What Makes These Leggings Special

The rib runs the length of the leg rather than sitting only at the cuff or waistband, giving the whole piece a knitted look rather than the smooth jersey finish most leggings have. Inside, the lining is velvet rather than the brushed fleece used across most of our other winter styles, a noticeably different hand feel against the skin.

A cashmere blend at this price point won’t be pure cashmere, it’s mixed with cotton and spandex for durability and stretch, but the cashmere content is what gives the surface its slightly plush finish compared with a plain acrylic or polyester rib knit. Our guide to cashmere has more on how this fibre behaves in a blend.

Available Colours

All four colours share the same ribbed texture and velvet lining, only the shade changes.

Grey and Beige both read as neutral knitwear tones rather than typical kidswear colours, closer to what you’d expect from an adult jumper than a legging aimed at young children, which is part of what gives this style its slightly more grown-up look. Pink is soft rather than bright, in keeping with the muted palette of the other three. Black is the most practical of the four for daily wear, though it shows the rib texture with slightly less contrast than the lighter shades.

Fabric and Quality

The rib knit construction means the fabric has natural stretch built into the weave itself, on top of whatever give the spandex content adds, which is part of why ribbed knitwear tends to hold its shape well over repeated wear. Our guide to caring for cashmere covers washing and storage in more detail, since a cashmere blend needs slightly gentler handling than a plain polyester legging.

Choosing the Right Fit and Style

This range runs from 1 year up to 8, so measuring rather than guessing by age matters more at the younger end, where sizing tends to vary the most between children of a similar age. Our girls size guide has more detail on how sizing generally runs.

Size Guide

Six sizes are available, from 1-2 years up to 8 years. Compare your daughter’s current length and waist measurements against the table below rather than relying on age alone.

Perfect for These Occasions

The muted colour palette and knitted texture make this a pair that works for more than just nursery and school runs, it holds up well under a smart dress for a family gathering or a winter photo, somewhere a bold printed legging might look too casual. It still washes and wears like an everyday piece day to day.

Comfort and Fit

The mid-rise waistband sits between the high-waisted cut used on most of our range and a low-rise fit, comfortable to sit and move in without feeling restrictive at the tummy. The rib knit stretches with movement rather than resisting it, and the velvet lining stays soft against the skin rather than feeling scratchy the way some knitwear can.

Complete the Look

Because there’s no print or embroidery to work around, this pairs easily with anything already patterned, a striped jumper, a floral tunic or a plain cardigan all sit well on top. The knitted texture reads as a little more considered than a plain jersey legging, so it holds its own even under a dressier top for a family occasion.
