The temps may be lowering and the daylight may be dwindling, but you know those won't stand in the way between your girl and her outdoor play time. By arming her with the cold-weather essentials that will allow her to power through every outdoor scenario, not only will she be happy to continue the fun through fall and winter, but you'll also have the peace of mind that she's staying comfortable and cozy.
With girls' activewear designed specifically for outdoor play, including the cold-weather leggings and joggers that serve as the ideal base layer, Athleta Girl has all the pieces your daughter will need for protection, coverage, and warmth this season. Whether she's playing fall sports or just enjoy hanging out in the backyard, these must-have layers will help her seize the day(light).
Building a Snow Fort
Chilly weather won't stand a chance against the Polartec® Tight. Made from fabric that's sleek on the outside and soft on the inside, along with a comfortable waistband (that's adjustable!), these leggings will be cozy through every winter activity, from playing in the snow to ice skating. Bonus: the bright red hue will contrast against winter white surroundings, making her stand out. For a pretty and playful color combination, combine the leggings with pale pink pieces up top, like a half-zip sweatshirt and down jacket.
Playground Playdate
Parenting hack: when your girl has a standing date with the playground, relying on an unofficial playground uniform is a pretty genius way to keep things easy for you both. And this fall and winter, the Chase the Chill Jogger will become an instant favorite. The pants are lightweight and breathable, allow for stretch and mobility, and are wrinkle-and-abrasion resistant, meaning the fabric will stay smooth and resist snags and tears no matter what she gets up to on the jungle gym. It's also UPF 50+-rated for protection against the sun. Finish her outfit off with a stretchy top and lived-in hoodie for ultimate comfort until the last light.
After School Practice
For your mini athlete, it's important that what she wears not only helps fight the chill through practice, but also moves with her through drills. The Snow Problem Tight will keep up and keep her warm. The sustainable, high-performance fabric features all-around stretch for the ultimate mobility — and it also happens to be extremely cozy. Plus, the side zip pockets will come in handy to store her extra hair ties or lip balm. Combine the leggings with fuss-free layers she can peel off as she warms up. Even better? This is a look that works for school too, so there's no need to change before practice.
Backyard Hangs
Make the transition from inside to outside play seamless for her with super soft and warm pieces. Thanks to the relaxed silhouette that leaves room to move or layer and the plush fleece fabric on interior, the RetroActive Jogger is the ultimate play pant. Paired with an equally plush sherpa sweatshirt, it's an outfit she'll be just as comfortable lounging around on the sofa in as she'll be hanging out back — just add a jacket!
