Does anyone know where to get skinny leg school trousers for 13 yr old boy? M&S don't do them anymore and the BHS slim leg are Charlie Chaplin style?

Zombieeeeeeee. I reckon the one who woke it up is the shop owner. Am I right?

Primark actually do really nice slim trousers for skinny adolescents. My Ds has worn them for years and they last for ages.

Topman not Topshop...

busymummy3 · 11/12/2014 22:24

BHS do a skinny fit as well as a slim fit . My DS ( and I agree ) likes these better than M &S . He is in Y11.

We bought Debenhams ones - they are are good.

john lewis ha good "slim leg"(?) ones in sept

basildonbond · 09/12/2014 20:40

sadly they only do short length in 26" - ds needs long length but they only start at 30" :(

Bought my tall (and incredibly fussy) DS 2 pairs of skinny fit trousers at Next for Men - they start at 26" waist and have so far lasted the whole of this year - he and I are both very happy - highly recommend them for teenage boys who don't want to walk around looking like Charlie Chaplin....

www.4directuniforms offer a slim fit slim leg trousers for school or formal

SarahBarge · 12/06/2014 09:42

I always just LIM www.lim-clothing.co.uk they have a nice (if a little small) range of slim fit school trousers, but then again I am from Cardiff where the shop is located. (I am personally not a fan of next)

Burtons for DS (16).

MortifiedAdams · 21/03/2013 21:21

New Look also avail in grey

Bunbaker · 21/03/2013 21:14

Before you buy some perhaps you ought to check the school's uniform policy. Skinny leg trousers are banned at DD's school.

Katryn · 20/03/2013 13:18

The best I've ever bought for my small and skinny DS are from Next and I bought them last September - slim-fit. Excellent quality.

AgentProvocateur · 19/03/2013 07:48

Burton do a 28" waist with various lengths of black skinny trousers, and they are the best. The only ones I've bought that last the year. Can't recommend them enough.

homebythesea · 19/03/2013 07:42

Totally agree- if it was up to me I'd buy the flappy legged trews from the uniform shop which would survive a nuclear winter but that would be social death appaz Shock

Isthiscorrect · 18/03/2013 17:33

Trust me homebythesea, Topman are sh!te. Ds had 5 pairs hoping they would do 2 years of 6th form and they look like dishrags and he has only had them since September. Not very happy I can tell you, all bobbly and limp looking,mbut apart from that the style is fine.

homebythesea · 18/03/2013 15:19

Topman is the place all the cool chaps go apparently. They are very thin material and £25 so not thinking they are very robust! Smallest waist size is 28".

Thanks Katy, the slim fit are ok but out of stock and I didn't realise what modern fit was. He likes them skinny and they did do M&S skinny legs until recently.

We found slim fit school trousers in M&S recently but they are now called 'modern fit ' for age 13 years but you should be able to order them online. Agree its really hard to find slim fit trousers for school. I may still have the tag at home so let me know if you want the item number.

Isthiscorrect · 17/03/2013 13:31

Wouldnt recomend the ones Ds had from Topman. Thought they would be great but theyve gone all bobbley.

Ihatemytoes · 17/03/2013 13:06

Next do them.

The link to the George ones looks ok, thanks, he is a skinny boy and the slim legs I ordered from BHS really did fall in folds around his legs. I will give those george ones a try, thanks. We are fostering this boy and it is hugely important to him to feel like he looks good at school, though I suppose all of them care at this age.
