Long skinny teenager needs some clothes

12 replies

I'm really struggling to find some jeans to fit my 18 year old son, I'm trying to get some for his birthday.

He needs 28" waist and 36" leg (if not longer).

Any suggestions?

uniqlo is normally my go-to for skinny kids but I'm not sure if they go that tall.

you can order levi's online in lots of sizes

Next do a long leg, but it might be a 34".Has he done a measurement?

We went to Levi's for similar proportioned child

Primark! Although mine son had to go up to a 30" waist and a a belt. There's not that much difference in the actual sizes and the are obviously cheap but the fit my 6ft 3" son.

Next only goes to 34" in most styles unfortunately.

And YY to the 30" waist plus belt, increases choice no end

I think it’s going to be difficult with a 28” waist TBH. YY to going up a size possibly.

Try Spoke who tailor make trousers (ie bespoke).They’re online.

ASOS, Burton, 2tall.
Boohoo I think start at 30 waist.
My son was same size at 14. He now has a 34 waist but 38 legs so challenge continues. Burton sale was always good. 2tall is pricey.

Jack and Jones are relatively generous in the length. 34" leg is probably closer to 35-36" in other brands such as Next.

Thank you, some places I haven't tried yet.

He's currently in Primark 30/36 but gets annoyed that they sit so low that his bum hangs out 😆

I have the same issue but my teen is short! Hollister proved good for us today. They cater for waists down to 26-28!
