Teen Girls' Cargos

Teen girls' cargos at MINOTI are made for ages 8 to 15, for weekends, school holidays and days out. The side pockets that give cargos their name hold a phone, keys or a bus pass, so she can leave the bag at home. They go with a hoodie, a plain T-shirt and trainers, and in colder months a jumper on top sees them through. Each product page gives the fabric, colour and fit of that style.

Choose by height rather than age. A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm and a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm. If she is between two sizes, the larger one gives room to grow, and a belt or a rolled hem takes up the extra. Some shops call this style combat trousers, and the idea is the same: a casual cut with extra pockets on the legs. Empty the pockets before each wash and follow the care label inside the pair.
