Help! Teen jeans

11 replies

Help 😳

My nearly 13 year old has had, yet another, growth spurt.

All of her trousers are a good two inches too short.

So we need to kit her out, entirely. But here's the problem.

She has really long legs and a tiny waist/hips/bum.

So she's a women's size 4....but with these long ass legs (now longer than mine, so I'm saying she's a 30 inch leg without my getting the tape measure out)

Where can I look for trousers/jeans/leggings for her?

For me, I can only buy Levi's to fit me well (cause its length to waist).

But are there any other alternatives? Any suggestions?

Primark for jeans. They have small sizes and different leg length and they are cheap when she inevitably grows out of them.

I agree, Primark is very good when they're still growing. You have to search for the longer leg lengths but 30" is quite common I think.

Next are usually good for a range of sizes and lengths in the older teen sizes

My daughter is 14 and is same build 24 waist /31 leg she likes the naggy jeans from holister. They do different waist and leg sizes

Following as my 12 year old is exactly the same!

Similar DD here and agree with Holister baggy styles.

Didn't realise Primark do leg lengths!

I'd be happy to buy her Hollister etc. If I thought for one second she was close to finished growing. But I thought she was...and suddenly she's put an inch on in less than a month 😳

I really appreciate the input!

Yep primark is your go to I think. They do short, regular and long length in most styles of jeans.
