Girls' Cargo Trousers
Kids' cargo pants for girls are called cargo trousers here in the UK: utility trousers with pockets on the thighs. They suit school holidays, park days and weekends, and sit well with trainers and a hoodie or a plain T-shirt. The sizes run from baby to age 15, so older girls can find a fit alongside younger sisters. For the smallest sizes, see Baby Girls' Cargos.
Cargos are cut with room through the leg, so most girls take their usual size. A 9-year-old usually takes 140 cm and a 12-year-old 158 cm. Girls' black cargo trousers hide mud and grass stains, go with most tops and make an easy choice for days out and trips. Check the care label before washing, and wash dark colours inside out to help them keep their colour.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's girls' cargo trousers are utility trousers with thigh pockets for girls from baby sizes up to age 15, sold in centimetre sizes based on height, with 146 cm typical for a 10-year-old.
What size cargo pants should I buy for a girl aged 10?
Go by her height rather than her age. A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm. If she is between sizes, choose the next size up, as cargos can be turned up at the hem and still look right.
How do I style girls' black cargo pants?
Keep the top simple and fitted. A plain T-shirt or a short jumper with white trainers balances the extra fabric in the leg. Black goes with almost every colour, so on cooler days of about 12°C a gilet or bomber jacket over the top finishes the outfit.
