Boys' Cargo Shorts
Boys' cargo shorts are defined by the extra pockets on each thigh, handy for a bus pass, a toy car or a snack at break. MINOTI makes them from baby sizes up to age 15, so younger and older brothers can wear the same style. Pair them with a T-shirt for the park and holidays, or with a polo shirt where the school allows shorts in the summer term.
Boys' navy cargo shorts and boys' black cargo shorts go with most school jumpers and polo shirts, while boys' blue cargo shorts suit weekends and holidays. Measure his height without shoes and pick the size at or just above it, so the shorts last the whole summer. On cooler mornings, add a jumper or cardigan and long socks. Empty the pockets before washing and follow the care label on each pair.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's cargo shorts for boys have pockets on the thigh for school and weekends, made for ages 0 to 15 in centimetre sizes matched to height, and a 9-year-old usually takes 140 cm.
What size cargo shorts should a 7-year-old boy wear?
Most 7-year-olds take 128 cm. Measure his height without shoes, and go up one to 134 cm if he is tall for his age or already near the top of that size.
Can boys wear cargo shorts as part of their school uniform?
It depends on the school, as many uniform lists ask for plain tailored shorts without leg pockets. Where boys' cargo school shorts are allowed, choose plain grey, navy or black, and for a 6-year-old pick 122 cm.
