Jean/Trouser recommendations for teenage boy

Stretchy skinny Levi’s fit we here

I need to place mark. Sorry, I know that’s not any help OP

That’s ok - glad i’m Not the only parent with this problem!

definitely switch to adult sizing. they are not as skinny I don't think.
ds (16) likes H&M mens skinny jeans.

They are still quite slim though.

I'd say H&M as well, my 16yo ds who runs a lot so has muscular legs gets his there.

Next are pretty good as they are pretty stretchy too and do a big range of fits - the slim fits DS2 well and he is quite chunky of thigh. I've heard Asda ones can be good but i haven't tried. he aslo has Timberland ones (Squam lake?) which he really likes

DS1 is slimmer of leg and doesn't like too tight - he's more a straight fit rather than slim/skinny but he has hollister ones which he likes and also some Volcom.

At that age he'll be changing shape and size in all directions for a couple more years - my advice is take him to Matalan (decent unbranded ten quid jeans) and just try a load of stuff on. Their sections are kids (up to about 13) then "Mens" which might make him feel good...

Also, maybe try to talk him into suggest Chinos and / or combats instead of jeans - MUCH looser in the thigh.

Combats sound good. Many of these stores are in the local mall - looks like a trip there is in order!

I think this problem will only get worse if he continues to row - I just noticed the thighs of the boys in the Champion 8 boat!
