The Best Sweatpants For Boys With A Tiny Waist, Long Legs, And No Butt

Our Favorite Sweatpants for Toddler Boys

*Click here for our 2020 update.

Levon is 4 years old, barely a size 2T around the waist, a solid 3T in length, and his butt is

F L A T.

A month ago, he started refusing to wear jeans, screaming, “Those are not the right pants,” any time I tried to wrestle him into denim. The right pants are sweatpants and they are currently the only pants he’ll wear. I don’t know how size guides for toddler clothing are determined, but clearly the model that was used had an ass the size of Kim Kardashian’s. Most sweatpants fall down around Levon’s ankles faster than I can pull them up. But since his recent jean boycott, I’ve found several brands that fit his Kate Moss body-type. Functional drawstrings are a must. I tie them just loose enough that he can pull them up and down without having to untie the string. Bathroom independence is a big deal for my boy.

Behold, my favorites.
