Long and super lean. Carter's and oath kosh fit well in the waist in 2t. But, are already too short. Baby gap is pricey so I very rarely purchase it, but I just got some spring pieces on clearance, and really love the fit. Thank goodness warm weather is right around the corner so I can keep her in 2T shorts and capris. Gymboree is cut short and wide, so it never works for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699712 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 03:28:11 +0000 misolee 2699712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chiming in to say the Jumping Beans brand at Kohls is long and lean too. We have couple of their leggings and my LO just outgrew the 2T (she's 4) and it was only outgrowing the waist not length. She's a peanut. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699694 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:31:16 +0000 Littlebit7 2699694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yep.

I had a long and lean and an average-chubby kid and they fit both of them poorly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699619 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 14:28:07 +0000 luckylifemummy 2699619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'e never heard of Bonds!

It won't help with sleeve length but it will let you get a lot more wear out of short sleeved ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699539 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 07:11:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2699539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't mind buying a lot at one time to get free international shipping I would suggest Bonds. My LO is 29" and his 12-24 mos pants from Bonds came in and OMG I think he needs to grow at least another 5 inches before it makes sense even putting them on him. I bought and returned some H&amp;M pants because buy the time LO would grow into the size the season would be over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699500 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:37:53 +0000 dolphin 2699500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Carters run small. For long and lean I've had luck with Gymboree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699499 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:37:28 +0000 Mrsbells 2699499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: carters are definitely the longest ones i've tried. Also you might have luck with extenders </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699497 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:19:10 +0000 gingerbebe 2699497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are long and lean. We've had good success with Children's Place stuff, Carter's skinny jeans (fitting more like regular jeans), long sleeved shirts and thermals from Cat and Jack, the Cat and Jack cuffed jogger pants, and randomly the Jumping Beans brand from Kohls. I found the Zara and H&amp;M pants to be too big in the waist for my kids. Joggers or sweats that have that ankle cuff seem to fit longer than regular pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699495 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 21:38:09 +0000 MamaCate 2699495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are long and lean. I felt like I had better luck with lengths at that age at Carter's compared with ON/gap. I remember having leggings from both places for DD and the SoN ones definitely getting too short first! I also didn't have much luck with the target lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699470 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 19:03:59 +0000 luckylifemummy 2699470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: Mine LO too!! I buy a size 5 pants for length but she can wear 2T &amp; 3T shorts lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699469 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 19:03:00 +0000 luckylifemummy 2699469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Levi's are price-y but I've found almost new pairs at the local thrift/consignment stores and the kids styles are built long and lean :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699433 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:09:08 +0000 Greentea 2699433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H&amp;M.

All he wears is H&amp;M and zara. We do carters and ON pjs. </p> <p>H&amp;M has super weird sizing. He has a few shirts that are 1.5-2 yrs and they will probably fit him when he is 3. Plus a pair of 6-9 mo jeans he is still wearing (not kidding). Other then some weird ones here and there, we've had a lot of luck with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-for-long-and-lean-lo#post-2699422 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 16:47:30 +0000 peaches1038 2699422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7's post made me wonder if any bees know of some brands that fit a long and lean LO?<br /> DS is 15 months and his 24 month onesies and pants are already getting too short. I'm going to be so sad when he doesn't fit in onesies anymore! 😩😩😩. He weighs just under 25lbs. We mostly do carter's and ON/gap.<br /> I was thinking maybe Zara or h&amp;m, but we haven't tried anything yet. </p>
