Teenage Boys' Cargo Shorts
Teenage boy cargo shorts are a practical pick for summer holidays, camping trips and warm weekends. The pockets on the side of each leg hold a phone, keys and a bus pass, so nothing ends up stuffed in a hoodie. The sizes suit boys aged 8 to 15. Wear them with a T-shirt on hot days and add a hoodie when the evening cools down. For plainer styles, see the main Shorts page.
Go by height rather than age, since boys this age grow in bursts. As a guide, boys' cargo shorts for age 9 are usually 140 cm, and a boy who is tall for his age may need 146 cm. If he sits between two sizes, take the bigger one so the pair lasts the summer. Some shops call these combat shorts, and they are the same garment. Check the care label on each pair before the first wash.
