I am getting increasingly frustrated. Apparently primary school girls only want skinny fit school trousers in material so thin it lets light through.

Boys of course get Teflon coated reinforced knees with a generous fit.

DD is in 10+ sized clothing and most of her stuff comes from the "boys" section but zip/buttons mean we can't get boys trousers for school.

So where can we get decent quality comfortable black trousers for a girl who likes to do things other than sit still doing "girls activities"?

Exhausted very limited local shops so will have to be online.

M&S.

Dd used to wear pull on Jersey style ones. Would she wear them?

@Pinkout what are the sizes like? Are there any particular styles? I'll need to buy online.

@dementedpixie not opposed as long as they are half decent quality and not skinny fit. She refuses to wear anything even slightly restrictive. She's a tall skinny thing and finds slim/skinny trousers restrictive so I've no idea how girls with bigger legs manage.

Have you looked at Next?

Always found Next to be great quality. Their trousers last all year. Gave up on M&S after the knees kept wearing away and the seams came apart within a few months (happened on three occasions)
