Notes From the Design Studio: The Legging

by leigh

As Lyn prepares for the arrival of Baby Grant, we decided to focus in on the story behind one of our favorite garments (for newborns and beyond) - the legging. When we first developed the Original Legging, Lyn had not yet had Malia, and she coudn’t quite understand why I loved leggings so much, and how I wanted to tweak and perfect them for NFB. Cut to 2 years later, and they’re a staple in Malia’s wardrobe. Why so great? They’re easy to pull up and down (no snaps, buttons, etc.), they’re soft, and if made right, they fit all different types of babies and kids.

What makes our Original Legging unique? This was our first pant, and it was where we created New For Baby’s signature low-rise. Just below the healing belly button, but also covering the diaper. Slim, tapered fit to hug tiny legs that like to tuck up, and long enough to fit tall babies and cuff for petites. Lyn loves the elastic waist and how it fits all sizes. When we held up the first sample, the shape looked a bit odd. But that was key - it was shaped perfectly for newborns, and like nothing that was on the market.

We’ve sized it up so you can enjoy for the first year - perfect for all those diaper changes, and for sitting correctly on baby (no grandpa pants effect here!).
