I have a petite/skinny 7 year old and am having the hardest time finding her joggers and/or sweats for this winter. Every pair I find is huge in the waist. The best fitting ones I’ve found so far were at the Gap outlet…but even those are big. Where should I be looking?!

I have a VERY skinny 9 year old who struggles to find any bottoms that are long enough and fit in the waist. Justice joggers aren't too bad (we buy them from TJ Maxx/Marshalls), but they tend to only come in really bright styles (like dip dye/tie dye). She wears an 8 and they are loose at the waist, but don't totally fall off - a 7 would be a better fit, but that size is too short. Maybe try a 6 for your 7 year old?

I have a skinny 7 year old boy and we have the same problem. I ordered some from Hanna Andersen and they’re pretty good, the waists are 2” narrower then the Gap.

@PinkElephant: Thanks! I didn’t mention that the ones I’ve gotten all were 6’s. 🥴
@erinbaderin: I can check out Hanna.

@LemonJack: I feel your pain. My 9yr old is 4'5" and just hit 50 lbs. I used to just let her size waaaay down for her age (and still do in the summer), but as she's gotten taller and leggier, I can't go much smaller than a 7-8 or she just looks silly with inches of ankle hanging out.
Will your DD wear leggings? The Hanna slim leggings are amazing for super skinny girls - we can make a 120 (6-7) or 130 (8) work in those. They run very long as well as slim.
Also...if they don't need to be TRUE joggers, we've worn Cat & Jack fleece lined leggings as joggers/sweatpants since they fit her skinny frame much looser. I thought they'd have a saggy diaper-butt look, but they're actually pretty cute.

@PinkElephant: You clearly feel my pain!
She does wear leggings and also has jeans that fit. She just loves joggers in the winter, but that’s a good reminder on the fleece lined tights! I’ll check out the Hanna skinny fit too. Years ago I bought her a pair of Hanna capris which were huge on her, but they were the regular fit.

I was successful with joggers for my slim girl at Cotton On. We also have some from Jamie Kay that fit but their sizing is very erratic.
