Help—where to find khakis, similar for tween girl

[Anonymous]

My 11 yo DD now no longer fits into girl sizes, and now I am scrambling to figure out where to shop. She is a tomboy and will only wear khaki Bermudas and pants. Any ideas? Thank you!

The junior's uniform section.

Aeropostale would probably fit her well and the styles would probably be appropriate for her age:

Buy from the boys section. I have a 7yo DD the same way. I actually get all her stuff from the thrift store but get them from the boys side.

We found that Old Navy is good for size 0, 1, etc.

REI---my DD got some great ones there. If you don't have an REI in your area, you may have EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports)

11 yo girl bodies don’t do as well with boys’ clothes as 7 yo girls do.

If you shop online with Old Navy, you can get XXL girls' sizes that might work for her. I also bought my DD a few Old Navy plus sizes when she started developing some early curves but wasn't quite ready for junior/women's sizes (or styles, for that matter). They gave her some room in the torso and hips, but were still short enough in the arms and legs.

Kohl's is often good for that grey area between girls' and juniors' sizes, although mine sometimes had a hard time finding anything simple enough for her taste. She thought Land's End tended to be a bit cutesy, but we did get some simple skirts and slim pants there when she was in that odd size range.

But if you're mainly looking for khakis, you should definitely be looking in the school uniform departments. Should be easy this time of year.

PP here: just to note that she was average height and weight, just edging toward puberty so the weight was starting to distribute itself differently. If we sized down one from her usual, and bought the plus, sometimes the clothes fit better overall than just sizing up would.

Land's End clothes are way too dorky to put on a tween. I wouldn't do it to my kids' worst enemy.

Aeropostle, Hollister, and Abercrombie (or Abercrombie Kids) are all good skinny kid brands. American Eagle runs a big bigger but is also cute.
