Skinny waist joggers for school/PE

6 replies

DD has just grown upwards and her 4–5 joggers look ridiculously short. I bought the same M&S ones in 5–6 but the waist is too big and the drawstring has to be pulled in loads and tied which then makes going the loo tricky. Without tying it tight they just slip down the moment she sits or crouches.

Can anyone suggest plain navy joggers with an adjustable waist or that are just slimmer anyway?

i always found H&M or next ok for DD.
if you go to a haberdashery you can get a toggle for the trousers to make them easy to tighten and undo.

My DS is 10 and we've ALWAYS had this issue. He is very skinny. H&M have fake cords and so do Sainsburys. Recently I've been buying Next skinny joggers. They've been fine for him.

Yes i have this issue with her waist in leggings in general most don't fit.
I have found navy blue leggings in Sainsbury's in the school section which actually do fit so I just stick with these now

I have this issue with my son. I find the proper sports brands better for him than the normal clothing brands as they seem to be more slim fitting (and the Nike ones in particular you can get with just a small logo at the top so they look plain for school).

Yes to propper sports brands.
Joggers are a nightmare. DS usually has a combination of too short and too large round the waist...

@purpleme12 next do long length leggings in black, navy, grey and white (I think) e.g they have an age 8 and an age 8 long which is the waist of an 8 but more like a 9 in length.
