Shellydon Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I am at a loss for finding jeans for my tall (5'8") skinny teen girl. We used to buy Target Mossimo size 00 or 0 longs, but Target has discontinued the line. Old Navy does not carry longs in boot cut at all and a store employee said 0 long straight was always out even if you try to order them. I tried American Eagle and Hollister, but all of their styles are skinny/distrssed, not the plain straight leg that we are looking for. Any suggestions? My kids is going to be in shorts this winter!

Katy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 They're not cheap, but Nordstrom lets you filter for XXS/00 and tall jeans, and has many options: https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-straight-jeans?top=72&offset=0&page=1&sort=Boosted&flexi=60201512_60204420&flexi=60202460_60202470 Macy's has Calvin Kleins that go down to a 25 waist with a long inseam: https://www.macys.com/shop/b/straight-leg-jeans/Women_inseam_size_t,Women_waist_size_t/Long,25?id=91076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Abercombie size 00 its $$$ but they are the only thing that seems to fit the super skinny. The girls at gymnastics all buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrellyMama Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Has she tried the skinny jeans? My son is super skinny, and the guy skinny jeans are just a normal straight cut on him. Not sure If that translates to girls' jeans also. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) My daughter is the same height and is very thin. She wears the Wallflower jeans from Kohl's. It's really hard for her to buy jeans. I was just talking to my son's very tall gf and she said jeans and pants are the worst to shop for.

skimomma Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I am 5'8" and very thin so have always struggled to find jeans. There is one brand that I come back to every time, going on three decades now. Express. You will likely have to order online but they have different cuts, including boot, in 0 and 00 in long lengths. They run about $80 but almost always have a deal of buy one, get one half price. They hold up very well. There can be a pretty big variation in fit between different cuts so I almost always order each pair in 00L, 0L, and 2L then return the ones that don't fit. They have a good return policy so this works well for me. No other brand has worked for me consistently. I might get lucky with a pair here and there, but ultimately I know when I NEED a pair of jeans, Express is the only one I can count on.

wintermom Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Long Tall Sally. We have a store in Canada, and it looks like there are stores in the UK. I don't know whether there's anything in the US. Really nice variety for different proportions of tall. The prices were decent, too, especially for a specialty clothing store. Classic clothes that aren't going to go out of style. Edited September 30, 2018 by wintermom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceseeker Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My tall daughter loves a traditional straight leg instead of a skinny jean as well. It was a little difficult when she was a size zero but once your daughter gets up to a size 2 check out Levi's. They have a few varieties of straight and boot cut that come in a 2 long. I think levis has a few size zero styles, but not sure if any run in a long inseam. Abercrombie used to have a straight long cut that worked when my daughter was a zero and double zero, but not sure if they still have that cut.

Jen500 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) If you have a Nordstrom Rack or Saks of fifth, or similar, check out the jeans there. Many of the current styles for straight and wider leg are cut with a very long inseam (like at 32-34) ..I guess to 'fashionably' drag on thehe ground while wearing heels. Or for hemming. For example-Level99 has very long inseams, 34", and usually I can at least find the smaller sizes online if not in store https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/2110544/level-99-sasha-bootcut-jeans?color=COVE Edited September 30, 2018 by Jen500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My tall skinny girl loves Hollister's super skinny jeans. They often have them on sale for $25 or BOGO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My size 0 21-year-old has luck at Hollister, but I’m not sure that’ll help the OP since her daughter is tall and is looking for a non-skinny leg cut. THIS is why I live in yoga pants! I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My tall skinny girl loved American Eagle. Pricey but we would shop the sales. GAP was a success for her 2 years ago. Last year she found some she loved at Khols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
