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.
