Functional drawstrings are a must in any pair of joggers or sweatpants I buy for Levon. His waist is skinny, his legs are long, and he clearly doesn’t match the measurements used by most brands to determine size. If your kid is like mine and you’re looking for pants that don’t fall down but also don’t expose his ankles, we’ve compiled a list of our current favorite pants for skinny boys for you.
