Overshirts for Boys Aged 2 to 8
Overshirts for boys aged 2 to 8 sit between a shirt and a jacket. They are heavier than an everyday shirt, so a young boy can wear one open over a T-shirt on a mild day or done up on its own when it turns cooler. The sizes run up to age 8. An overshirt suits nursery, weekends and trips out, and it goes as easily with joggers as with jeans.
Go by height rather than age where you can. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If the overshirt will go over a jumper or hoodie, the next size up gives room at the shoulders and arms. In spring and autumn it can stand in for a light coat, and in winter it works as a middle layer under one. Fabrics vary from piece to piece, so check the care label before the first wash.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's overshirts for boys aged 2 to 8 are heavier shirts made to wear open over a T-shirt or done up on their own, in centimetre sizes, with a 6-year-old usually in 122 cm.
What size overshirt should I buy for a 5-year-old?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. If he is tall for his age, or you want room to wear it over a jumper, go up to 122 cm. Measure his height and match it to the size shown on the product page.
Can a young child wear an overshirt instead of a coat?
It can on mild, dry days. At around 15°C or above, an overshirt over a T-shirt is often enough for a 4-year-old at the park. When it is colder or wet, put it on under a coat in place of a jumper.
