Where to buy clothes for tall skinny 12yo?

Anonymous
DS is now too tall for Gap/ON XXL pants. It seems like they only have jeans and a teenager size, and he likes the sweat pants. He is definitely too skinny for mountains. Any recommendations on where to shop?

He now needs mens sizes.

OP: seeing my typo. I meant that he is too skinny for men’s. Do other shops have teen sizes that are cut thinner?

I have a tall skinny one. American Eagle is good and we had some luck at JCrew factory. Can you get his waist and inseam measurements? DS is very good at finding sweatpants/joggers that have a drawstring and elastic. Try the men's joggers at american eagle in an XS.

Mine is 12 y/o and fits great into walmart's 18 years old sportswear (Athletics works) and in H&M men XS. Get ready for a price shock as he gets into men's sizes. Mine is 5'7, 112 lbs and all legs.

I have to get mine 27x34. I have to look online. Some of the Amazon brands have slim fit in that size. He got some jeans from Aeropostale which tend to be slimmer than other brands. What is his inseam?

Men's XS and S are good on my very skinny DS (but he is not very tall either)

+1 on these AE joggers in XS

My 12yo is 5’6” 110

Men’s small shirts generally fit, pants are hard! Some places have 16 or 18 slim online, that’s how i get a pair of dress pants and a pair of jeans each year. I think the smallest waist in men’s I’ve seen is 26 and mine isn’t there yet.
