Under the new rules, members will be able to wear a top from the new range with their own trousers.

Girlguiding has unveiled the first major redesign of its uniform in more than 30 years, with the aim of allowing its members the "freedom to express themselves". Under the new, pared-back approach, members will only be required to wear a top from the new range to be considered "in uniform". The new range has been inspired by feedback from thousands of Guides, Rainbows, Brownies and Rangers which suggested they valued choice and the ability to express their own style. Girlguiding chief executive Felicity Oswald said "practicality, comfort and sustainability" were at the centre of the redesign, which updates the 1990 version of the uniform. The organisation said the uniform combines the charity's heritage with modern colours and prints. The range is made up of 30 items of clothing, 15 accessories and neckerchiefs - with prices starting at £12, for a T-shirt. Design features include hidden pockets in waist bands, thumb holes, and badge sashes which double as cross-body bags. This is the first time in 30 years Girlguiding has updated its entire range at the same time.
