Teen Boys' Straight Leg Jeans
Teenage boy straight leg jeans run in a straight line from hip to hem, with no taper at the ankle. The cut leaves room over the knee and sits neatly over trainers. That makes them easy to wear on non-uniform days, at weekends and on trips out. The sizes suit boys aged 8 to 15, and plain denim goes with a T-shirt, a hoodie or a jumper.
Choose by height, not age. As a guide, boys' straight leg jeans for age 9 are usually 140 cm, age 10 is usually 146 cm and age 11 is usually 152 cm. If he is between sizes, go up one. A straight leg is easy to turn up at the hem, and the extra length helps through a growth spurt. Check the care label on each pair before the first wash.
Your questions answered
The MINOTI teen boys' straight jeans collection contains denim jeans cut straight from hip to hem for boys aged 8 to 15 in height-based sizes, and a 12-year-old boy usually takes 158 cm.
What size boys' straight leg jeans should I buy for age 12?
A 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm. If he is tall for his age or close to turning 13, 164 cm gives more length, and you can turn up the hem on a straight leg until he grows into it.
How do straight leg jeans differ from slim fit jeans?
Straight leg jeans stay the same width from the knee to the hem, while slim fit jeans narrow towards the ankle. The straight cut gives more room to boys from age 8 who find a tapered leg tight, and it sits easily over chunky trainers.
