Jeans for skinny boys!

12 replies

Where can I find jeans for a very slim 13 year old boy?! My son is VERY slim around his waist and hips (lucky thing!) but finding jeans to fit is impossible - even ones which have the adjustable waist are still way too huge to wear. We have tried Boden, Gap, John Lewis, Next, M&S, Sainsburys, Tesco and I'm running out of ideas! Even 'skinny jeans' are still too big around the waist and hips.

Any suggestions very welcome as his current jeans are too short and look silly now!

I used to buy next extra skinny fit for my slim teenager and river island

Thank you. He's a bit fussy about jeans that are too tight on his legs, but I'll give them a go!

Primark are a good fit
Skinny son wears the regular straight leg and they hang nicely

Was just coming on to say Primark, but knackered beat me to it. They’re great for skinny kids.

H&M are good too - made for Scandanavians! Although DS1 my skinny one won't wear jeans. It has to be joggers and they are a nightmare for staying up as well.

I have a very skinny 15 year old - over the years, I've found that H&M, Primark and Zara are the best fit in jeans for him. Anything from anywhere else swamps him, even 'super skinny' styles!

Zara. The European sizing is a great on skinny boys.

DS has been very slim since he was a child (still only 25" waist at age 19).

Trousers and jeans which fitted him as a teenager:

  • Next spray-on jeans
  • M&S trousers to fit a younger size but in a longer length

As a young adult, Primark men's XS joggers and pyjama trousers fit him, and he can wear 26" waist skinny jeans with a belt.

Another vote for Zara.

A colleague gets her son girls jeans. The fit is better. Size 6 or 8 and what ever leg length. Next are particularly good at this.

For skinny boys, primark is brilliant.
For skinny and tall I’m afraid you have to shell out for Levi’s- but they do look amazing.

H&M, Zara are pretty good. As is any Spanish brand - but you may struggle with length if he’s talk
