Clothes for skinny tall teens?

Dd is 15 and is like a bean pole, she’s quite young for her age as she has autism so likes comfortable clothes, doesn’t like skinny jeans or leggings and doesn’t wear skirts/dresses. Prefers combats of joggers but we went shopping today and could only find really baggy joggers which look awful on he due to her long thin legs and lack of bum. I buy most of her clothes from next as the age 15 fits here waist well but they are now not long enough, if I buy age 16 then it’s too big around her waist.

Where can I buy skinny joggers or combat style trousers to fit her build? Also nice quality T-shirt’s as she gets through so many, she likes to stretch them (puts her legs in them when she’s sat down 😬) so nothing really lasts long, also a lot of tops are too short on her and she doesn’t like cropped tops.

Same problem here with 13yo bean pole. I've given up on kids clothes and get her leggings and joggers from Next Tall range and Asos tall section. Asos do incredibly long joggers in small sizes (eg. 6 or 8). Good luck!

Next are very good for tall skinny teens. They have a bigger selection online

Next do a “spray on” jogger in the boys range, that my skinny ds lives in. I think they’d work on a girl if she doesn’t have many curves.
