H&M kids sizing questions

[Anonymous]

My son is 5.5. The 4 - 6 shirts have been too short and boxy. The size up is HUGE, as in halfway down his thighs. So, we only buy pants there...I buy 2 sizes of everything -- and only the pants w/internal tabs -- because it is a complete toss up if any will fit. Btw, Zara also has decent kid clothes -- pants, that is, their Ts are crap. They run pretty slim compared to H&M, which is good for my son who is slim and long legged. I buy his Ts from places like Gap boys dept.

Wow, that's pretty terrible.

Da fuq? You just ... THROW clothing away? Why not buy things that will hold up and then donate when finished? Do you completely not give a shit about the earth at all?
Just order one of each and see which fits her better.

I suspect this was in response to the PP, who pointed out that the quality is terrible, and can't be handed down. OP didn't ask for clarification about quality, just sizing. I don't think anyone should be surprised that a $4.99 dress likely won't last for multiple children.

OP, I've found their clothes to be wildly inconsistent, but in general I think the boys' clothes are cut bigger, especially t-shirt, while the girls' clothes are more fitting. The sleeves tend to run long, though. The clothes are cute, but the store is so messy, I usually just pass.

My normal-sized kids fit the low ends of the range, and then a year later there's nothing in the store that fits them. I gave up shopping there, though I think the clothes are often really cute.
