Little Titans – tights for boys

Dear Mothers of Boys (MOB) – I have the answer to all your prayers. Tights, for boys.

Is there a little tiny whirlwind in your life that flings socks, whizzing past your ear, from the backseat of your car? Do they turn up in your pocket in the middle of very important business meetings? And do you wish his little ice-blocks of feet could be toasty warm like his female playmates all tucked up in cosy candy-cane striped tights… or is it just me and my little sock-a-phobe, 15month old chap?

Apparently not. The brilliant mother (who else?) behind South London based brand, Little Titans had such an offspring, too. Unlike her daughter, she found a real gap in the sartorial wardrobe of the male under 5s that was comfy, warm, practical and importantly, covered the extremities.

Non-parents will shrug bemused at the ‘light bulb moment’ these man tights represent but but oh readers, IT IS a big deal.

You see, I am swiftly realising that toddlers are really designed to be naked (if you ignore the incontinence issues). All the walking, climbing, bending, rolling… clothes are simply a hindrance (hence the constant desire to remove them) but, until the summer at least, they are a must.

Hence the geniusness that is Little Titans. From the non-slip soles (another hazard of socks) to the cute knee patches and the ‘just like Daddy’ branded waistband, they are comfy, warm and beautifully made. Here is my somewhat unhelpful model, wearing his new grey striped pair on Sunday with a sloppy knit and a post-nap bedhead (another great plus, they are comfy enough to sleep in for naps).

Country Bebe is the talk of his peers, with lots of ‘what a great idea!’ and ‘they look so comfy!’ – quite the trailblazer my son.

Little Titans tights for boys are £14.99 per pair here – our next purchase will be these, quite frankly, brilliant ones.
