Tall teenager - help needed

10 replies

Doobydooo · 19/08/2021 21:16

My son is about to start college soon and is desperate for some new clothes. He normally lives in tracksuit bottoms but as he's shot up again recently, these are all too short for him. Struggling to find acceptable (not a label snob but won't accept Primark!) tracksuit bottoms in black/navy/grey with a small waist but longer length. He's currently 6ft 3 and possibly still growing. Has anyone got any links or suggestions where I can find something suitable, can't find much online or I'm looking in the wrong places.

I have a similarly tall and slim DS. He can get trousers from the M&S big & tall range that fit really well. A quick search showed they do cotton joggers too.

My ds is also 6'3 (though only 15) and Next slim or skinny joggers in tall fit are brilliant on him. Weirdly, you can't seem to actually filter for what is available in long, but if you go into an item you can look at the size/length options

Have you tried ASOS tall? I’ve got a 36” leg and have had success with men’s joggers from there.

2tall.com is the only place my 16 year old Ds can get joggers. He needs 28/9 inch waist and 36 inch leg

In M&S for some of the School Trousers they have really long ones for some of the styles not all of them so you'll have to look at each one.

So they are longer with smaller waists.

M&S size guide for the boys School Trousers which will be fine for work.

DS is 6ft 2 and has size 36 inch legs, he wears ASOS tall and Nike tall Joggers (ASOS sell some)

Next or ASOS for my six footer. My problem is tops - his arms are so long. North Fave and Nike both for him

Not all colours/styles are available with the (absolutely normally fantastic) M&S range - think Charcoal.

My new-to-be Year 11 teenager had the choice of super skinny fit vs 3 inches too short trousers. Luckily (for him not me) he finally decided that the super skinny was not too skinny and it would be OK.

Thanks everyone, will be bookmarking some sites. Ordered Next joggers(along with a few goodies for myself) and will also check the Nike stuff. I think he would actually die if I got him M&S, he knows it's my dads favourite shop Grin
