Boys' Hoodies & Sweatshirts, Ages 2 to 8
Hoodies and sweatshirts for boys aged 2 to 8 sit together here as the easy extra layer for nursery, school and the park. A sweatshirt is the plain pull-on version with no hood, so it sits neatly under a coat or over a school polo. A hoodie adds a hood for breezy days on the walk to nursery. Both go over a T-shirt in spring and autumn and under a padded coat when it turns cold. For bigger sizes, see Teens.
Each size is a height in centimetres. Measure your son standing against a wall and pick the size at or just above that. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. If you want room for a growth spurt, go one size up and roll the sleeves for the first few months. Some shops call a hoodie a hooded top, and it means the same garment. Wash with similar colours and follow the care label on each piece.

Your questions answered
MINOTI hoodies and sweatshirts for boys aged 2 to 8 include pull-on sweatshirts and hoodies for nursery, school and weekends, in centimetre sizes such as 116 cm for a typical 5-year-old.
What size hoodie should I buy for a 5-year-old boy?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If he is tall for his age or you want it to last two winters, 122 cm gives extra room in the body and sleeves. Measure his height and compare it with the size on the product page.
Is a hoodie or a sweatshirt better to wear under a winter coat?
A sweatshirt is usually easier under a coat, because there is no hood to bunch at the neck. A hoodie works well on its own on mild days of around 12 to 16°C, and either one can go under a coat when it gets colder.
