Size 8, and then 10-12?! Where is size 9???

Anonymous
My son is 9.5 and tall and skinny.

Size 8 (Target) is ok but short and slightly snug.

Size 10-12 absolutely drowns him. It might fit by winter but what to do now for fall?

I’ve tried Old Navy and then shrink it, but it’s poor quality.


What to do?

Try a different brand? Primark has nice clothes for affordable prices just opened in Tyson's

You need to find size 10. Look at GAP kids. My kid is skinny so he either wears size 8 or 10 even though his height, but not weight, is a size 10. Children’s Place tends to have mainly 10-12, so I only buy the shirts/jackets and roll up the sleeves. Carters/Oshkosh has boy’s clothes in size 10, and they have worked.

I had the same issue going from small to medium. Just had to try a bunch of stuff from different brands. Primark and H&M are on the skinnier side

This was annoying for my girls,too. Abercrombie kids and Cotton on kids sells 9/10. We also liked the Next website , they have size 9. H&M was usually good too, they have 8/10.

Yes, it's so annoying. You just need to find small size 10s and wash & dry them a few times - Primary, Cat & Jack, Old Navy, and H&M clothes all shrink into smaller size 10s.

Really? Their kids section was teeny tiny, we found it full of teeny bopper crap.

Buy size 10s? A 10-12 is a 12, so stick to brands that have 8, 10, 12.

Try having an 11 year old. 10/12 are too small, 14/16 are massively huge

Maybe a difference between girls and boys clothes. A different PP but I've like Primark for boys basics.

Buy him boys clothes not girls. They come in measurements not "sizes".

This is when I find it helpful that my DS wants to wear shorts year-round.

Next.us is amazing! Free shipping to us it’s a uk brand, great quality like Gymboree /Ga/Boden/Hanna but better prices

It’s really annoying as there is a huge range between 9 and 12 I don’t get it.

But some brands sell 9/10 - mini Boden, H&M, Abercrombie kids.
