Clothes for tall pre-pubescent 12 year old boy

Hi, we've been very lucky and had a lot of hand-me-downs over the years but they've dried up and I'm at a loss as to where to shop. My year 7 boy is 5'5 and so too big for a lot of children's clothes but he's still pre-pubescent and so too narrow (and short?) for men's clothes.

Can anyone recommend somewhere for some basics like shorts and T-shirts?

Zara was good for DSS at a similar age and height, although that was a few years ago so can’t comment on their current ranges.

I have. 5"6 willowy 13yo.

Next clothes are perfect for for his body shape and go up to 16 years. But only do online for 12+ yrs clothing.

Also matalan do some slim fit xs men's tracksuit bottoms that are fine for him.

Tesco men's range Xs/S also fit him really well.

And I just bought ds a pack of 2 shirts from Tesco age 14 and they fit well.

Shorts not shirts!

Ive found some shops like Primark and H&M have men’s X-small that fit my almost 13 DS.

Thanks, they all sound good options. I'll get looking online and then see if I can drag him to some shops. Smile
