Teenage Boys' Cargo Trousers
Teenage boys' cargo trousers are the everyday pair for weekends, days out and trips into town with mates. Every pair has the patch pockets on the thigh that make a cargo a cargo, handy for a phone, bus pass or earbuds. The fits suit boys aged 8 to 15 who have outgrown little-kid styles. Wear them with trainers and a hoodie, and add a jumper when it turns cold.
Sizes follow height in centimetres, so measure him in bare feet: a 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm and an 8-year-old 134 cm. Some teen boys call them cargo pants, which is the American name; on a UK label they are cargo trousers. Older boys' cargo trousers vary in fabric, so check the product page and the care label before the first wash. For other styles in the same ages, see Trousers & Joggers.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's teenage boy cargo trousers have patch pockets on the thigh and come in centimetre sizes for boys aged 8 to 15, and a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm.
What size boys' cargo trousers should I buy for age 14?
A 14-year-old usually takes 170 cm, the size for 14 to 15 years. Measure his height in bare feet before ordering, because boys often grow several centimetres in a single year at this age.
How are cargo trousers different from joggers for teenage boys?
The difference is the patch pockets on the thigh. Joggers are defined by their elasticated waist and have a sportier look. From age 8, cargos suit days out when he wants his phone and keys to hand, while joggers are better for lounging and sport.
