Where are you getting your tall skinny boys school trousers from please? I’ve always gone M&S longer length but they only do those in slim and skinny fit. DS15 wants a baggier fit now but still needs extra long leg length. Thanks!

Few years ago now but I was in a similar position and gave up on m and s (after 15years of buying their school trousers) I manged to get some straight legged (so not clingy) from next with the adjustable waist might be worth a try. If not ds1 ended up going into mens and wearing a belt.

I used to buy men’s as they came in different waist sizes rather than ages.

Thanks both, Next have what I need but out of stock online and our town doesn’t have uniform in stock :( Will try mens but they’re just sooooo much more expensive!
