uniform help: button less trousers for boys?

[midivydale]

Hi another school one from me.

My son still struggles with buttons on his trousers so I was wondering if anyone know of any trousers I can get with elasticated waist for the first year? They need to be black and he is not allowed joggers apart from PE.

He is also very tall for his age and typically wear 6-7 yrs old in clothes, would elasticated trousers go up that far in age? Any pointers would be most welcome, Thanks

John Lewis school trousers have the metal hook on the front which my son finds much easier. Although given they're elasticated at the back you don't actually need to unfasten them. Also think that Sansburys had elasticated ones with no fasteners last year.

Great, thank you everyone

A quick update on this in case there are other parents out there in the same boat. We have tried a few trousers now and it seems like the ones with the clasps are favourites so far. The zip/clasp was easier for him to manage than pulling up and down rather tight elasticated trousers....who knew?

We got some elasticated ones from M&S and they are going back as he finds them too tight but he likes the John Lewis and Sainsburys ones.

He is tall so is typically in 6-7 yrs old clothes by which time most seem to have stopped the elasticated waist (typically goes up to 4-5 yrs). Turns out it didn't matter as much as I thought as he easily managed the clasp and even preferred them.
