Teen Boys' Underwear & Socks
Underwear and socks for boys aged 8 to 15 come in three cuts here: briefs, boxers and trunks. Briefs sit close and have no leg. Trunks are fitted with a short leg, so they stay put under school trousers and PE shorts. Boxers are looser and suit anyone who finds a close fit uncomfortable. Socks sit alongside them, for school shoes and trainers.
Choose underwear by height rather than age. As a guide, an 8-year-old usually takes 134 cm, a 12-year-old 158 cm and a 14-year-old 170 cm. Between two sizes, go up for boxers, which are cut loose anyway, and check the product page before sizing up in briefs or trunks, which are meant to sit close. Boxers are what some shops call boxer shorts, and trunks are often sold as boxer briefs. Check the size of socks on the product page.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's teen boys' underwear and socks collection contains briefs, boxers, trunks and socks for boys aged 8 to 15, with underwear in centimetre sizes where a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm.
What size underwear should I buy for a boy of 10?
A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm. Measure his height without shoes and pick the size closest to it, and go up one if he is tall for his age. For close-fitting cuts like briefs and trunks, height is a better guide than age.
Should a teenage boy wear trunks or boxers for PE and sport?
Trunks are the better choice for PE, because the fitted short leg stays in place when he runs. Boxers are looser and hang from the waistband, so they suit everyday wear for boys who dislike a close fit. A 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm in either cut.
