What's the Difference Between Slim, Plus, Husky and Adult Size Ranges?

Understanding the difference between size ranges can help you find the perfect fitting uniform pant for your child:

  • Slim sizes are designed for kids with a leaner build. These pants offer a narrower cut to fit closely without being too tight.
  • Plus sizes are made for kids who need a little extra room around the waist and hips, ensuring a comfortable fit without feeling constricted.
  • Husky sizes cater to kids who need additional space in the waist and thigh areas, providing a roomier fit for greater comfort.
  • Adult sizes are ideal for kids and teens who have outgrown youth and junior sizes, providing the same excellent quality and comfort in the uniform styles they love.
