Sizes shown use Lands' End Kids’ girls’/unisex chart where the brand splits by gender; boys’ sizes at the same number can run slightly taller.

In short

Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 8, Il Gufo, Bonpoint, U.S. Polo Assn. cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

Bottom line: for most sizes, a Lands' End Kids number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up

Lands' End Kids-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.

Boys and girls are charted separately

Lands’ End charts boys and girls on separate ladders, so size by the matching line rather than the number alone.

Slim, Plus and Husky cuts

Girls get Slim (4–20) and Plus (8–20); boys get Slim (4–20) and Husky (8–20). Each keeps the same height as the standard size and adjusts through the waist and seat — a wide, inclusive range.

Runs true — trust the chart

A school-uniform mainstay known for reliable sizing: parents size straight off the published chart without adjusting, and the smaller pants and shorts include built-in waist adjusters to dial in the fit.

Specialty & inclusive fits

What shoppers say about the fit

Community consensus

Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurement

This is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Lands' End Kids’ own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.

Lands’ End runs true to size — trust the chart. Parents consistently say to size straight off its published chart without adjusting, and the smaller pants and shorts include waist adjusters for a dialed-in fit. It’s a school-uniform mainstay known for durable, reliable sizing, so a measured size is a safe bet.

Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.

Should you buy Lands' End Kids?

Consider it if…

  • You need durable school uniforms — a uniform mainstay: polos, khakis and plaid built to survive a school year.
  • You want specialty sizes — Slim, Plus and Husky run up to 20, unusually inclusive for a uniform brand.
  • You want quality that’s backed — Lands’ End stands behind its products with a satisfaction guarantee, a reason parents trust it for hard-worn clothes.

Think twice if…

  • You want trendy or fashion-forward — Lands’ End is classic, practical and uniform-focused, not statement clothing.
  • You’re price-sensitive at full price — it’s mid-tier, but runs frequent sales worth waiting for.
  • You want soft designer fabric — it’s built for durability and everyday wear, not boutique softness.

Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.

A few things parents ask that the chart won’t tell you

Are Lands' End school uniforms true to size?

Yes — parents say size straight off the chart. The smaller pants and shorts have waist adjusters to fine-tune, and the durable fabric holds up to a full year of daily wear, which is why it’s a uniform go-to.

How do the waist adjusters on Lands' End pants work?

The smaller pants and shorts have interior button-tab adjusters at the waist, so you can cinch or loosen for a between-sizes fit and get more wear as your child grows.

What measurements do I need to size Lands' End Kids accurately?

Lands' End Kids publishes height, weight, chest, waist, hip, inseam in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.

Do Lands' End Kids boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?

From the bigger sizes up, Lands' End Kids publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Lands' End Kids’ girls’/unisex chart.

How do I choose between Lands' End Kids’ regular, Slim, Plus and Husky cuts?

Each of these is the same numbered size as the regular cut — same length, adjusted through the waist and seat (Slim trimmer, Plus and Husky roomier). So size to your child’s usual Lands' End Kids number from the chart above, then pick the cut by build: a smaller waist for Slim, a fuller waist and seat for the roomier cuts. You don’t need a separate measurement to choose.

How do Lands' End Kids’ shoe sizes work?

Lands' End Kids carries kids’ shoes alongside its clothing. Kids’ shoe sizes go by foot length rather than age, and the same size number isn’t cut the same from brand to brand — so measure your child’s foot and check it against the chart. See how every kids’ shoe brand runs and how wide each is cut on our kids’ shoe sizing guide.

Where do I buy Lands' End Kids?

Lands' End Kids is sold on its own site and on Amazon, so you can pick the marketplace you prefer.
