Trousers for Older Boys
Teenage boy trousers need to cope with a full school day, a bus ride and a kickabout at break, then still look tidy on Friday. MINOTI trousers for boys aged 8 to 15 cover school days and weekends, and they are sized in centimetres to match his height rather than his age. For joggers and softer pull-on styles, see Trousers & Joggers.
Measure him standing straight in socks and pick the nearest size. Boys' trousers for age 9 are usually 140 cm, and boys' trousers for age 14 are usually 170 cm. Teenage boy school trousers should break just on the shoe, as the hem rises quickly once he starts to grow. If you are looking for boys' school trousers at age 16, compare his height with 170 cm, the size for 14 to 15, as MINOTI sizes stop at age 15.

MINOTI teenage boy trousers are school and weekend trousers for boys aged 8 to 15 in centimetre sizes, with a 12-year-old usually in 158 cm and a 14-year-old in 170 cm.
How long should school trousers be on a teenage boy?
The hem should just touch the top of his shoe when he stands, with a slight break at the front. A 13-year-old of average height usually takes 164 cm; if he is between sizes, go up one and turn the hem up until he grows into it.
Should teenage boys wear slim or regular fit trousers?
That depends on his build more than his age. A slim fit suits a narrow frame, while a regular fit gives more room at the thigh for a sporty boy. A 14-year-old usually takes 170 cm in either, so check the fit described on each product page.
