Clothes for tall adult sized teen boy?

My ds1 is over 6 ft and his tops and jumpers are all starting to be too short for him. I usually buy from H&M but their 'tall' offering is rather boring - black/white/grey only.

Can anyone recommend any reasonable prices options that might be more interesting. He doesn't like out there out there but he does like colours.

My son is 6”3 and I take him to M&S, they actually have a lot of nice stuff in for young men.

I also spent a load on H&M, I’m surprised you say it’s all black and white and my son is really into patterns and colour and always looks great.

I also take him to TKMaxx but he’s really confident about wearing interesting clothes so there’s always plenty choice as tacky max can be quite whacky.

I usually buy the basic H&M tees and hoodies, and they all show his tummy now. He prob has a long body as that runs in my family.

I searched 'tall' in men's and everything was black/white/grey except one T-shirt that was £40 and i don't run to that price 🤣

I'll look at M&S thanks

ASOS or Next work for my very tall teen DS. The Next website is hard to find tall fit sometimes and you have to dig around, but they do multipacks of tall t shirts

Brilliant - I will check them out

My 13yr old is 6ft 1 and very slim but I feel like might have a different style from yours.

For casual we have found Nike to be the best. Tech joggers and Miler t-shirts, both medium.

For slightly smarter we need to get 'slim' cut anything regular/generic sizing often doesn't work for him. I find branded clothes are generally slimmer cut as well.
Fred Perry polo shirts and Next jeans (slim, 26", Long). Other brands that work are Nicce, boss, lyle and Scott.

River island, boohoo and Next also have slim fit ranges but my ds won't wear them.

Agree to Next, skinny sizes and size S. They have long length trousers also which are a godsend for my beanpole!

My DS is 6ft 4 and very slim. We can usually find things to fit him in Hollister, Next, M&S and Levi's. Levi's only do the 36" leg online though, not in store.
Most of my son's clothes are from Hollister, they do quite a few of the tops, jeans and joggers in Tall fit. He can usually wear standard sized T shirts and hoodies from there too.

I've found loads of decent T shirts in TK Maxx for my slim 6 ft teen

DS buys most of his clothes from jacamo and Bad Rhino. He's 6' 5.⁸

It’s so hard when they’re man height but child framed. My son lived in Next from about 14-17. Seems for be the only place that had stuff to fit.
