Boys' Cargo Trousers
Boys' cargo trousers are casual trousers with extra pockets on the legs, handy for boys who like to carry conkers, cards and a snack. They sit between everyday joggers and smarter trousers, so he can wear them to the park and then out for lunch. The sizes run from baby to age 15, so a younger brother can wear the same style as an older one. For the smallest sizes see Baby Cargos, and for older boys see Teens.
Go by height rather than age: a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm and a 10-year-old 146 cm. If you've searched for boys' cargo pants, these are the same garment, as in the UK pants are underwear. Boys' black cargo trousers hide grass and mud marks best. Boys' grey cargo trousers are the lighter pick for spring and look smart with a navy jumper. Check the care label on each pair before the first wash.

What size cargo trousers should I buy for an 8-year-old boy?
Most 8-year-olds take 134 cm. If he is tall for his age or you want room to grow, go up one to 140 cm. Measure his height in socks and match it to the size shown on the product page.
Are black cargo pants for boys smart enough for school?
Usually not on uniform days, because most schools, from Reception at age 4 upwards, ask for plain trousers without leg pockets. Check your school's uniform list. Black cargos are good for non-uniform days, trips and weekends.
