Can you help me find swim trunks for DS who is 14, super tall and skinny? I think he's wearing Childrens Place 18 slim skinny jeans, but I can't find any 18 slim swim trunks. Lands End stops their slims at 14-16.
Where would you look in person and what brands run really tight and long? Anywhere online is fine...and we're visiting Atlanta soon...so we can hit up any stores that are there too.
(Tried LE men's small and they were so bunched up around his waist it looked like a skirt.)

I’ve always had great luck at a Surf Shop. Brands such as Billabong and O’Neil should have something to fit his small waist.

Yes this. Surfing brands have smaller options

Awesome. Thanks for the info! We will just wait until we get to FL and hit my favorite West Coast Surf Shop. I used to ride my bike to it in high school and see all my friends.

My 14 year old is a 29x34 in pants. JCrew mens XS is starting to get tight on him, so I’m thinking they run a bit slim. He prefers the Fair Harbor lining, so we’re trying to make those work this year…I just ordered some smalls and I can circle back when they get here.

Fair Harbor. Shorter suits are in but you can buy by length.
ETA: just did a try on sesh with one of the teens, 13 years old, 5’10” and about 130. Both Fair Harbor small and medium worked, but medium more comfy. I got the 7 inch in seam. Nike medium was also perfect. This was on my to do list over the weekend so this worked well.
