Girls' Denim Shorts for Ages 2 to 8
Denim shorts are the pair young girls reach for from May to September, in sizes for ages 2 to 8. Denim is a woven cotton twill, so it stands up to slides, scooters and sandpits better than lighter jersey shorts. Wear them with a T-shirt on hot days, or over tights with a jumper in spring and autumn. For older girls see the teen range, and for the smallest sizes see Baby.
Choose by your daughter's height rather than her age: a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. Denim has less give than jersey, so if she is tall for her age, go up one. Waist details vary by style, so check the product page before you order. Dark denim can shed colour in its first two or three washes, so wash new pairs inside out with similar colours.

What size denim shorts should I buy for a 5-year-old girl?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. If she is tall for her age, go up one to 122 cm. Denim stretches less than jersey, and a little extra room lets her sit and climb comfortably.
Are denim shorts practical for a 3-year-old at nursery?
Yes, if she can manage the waist herself. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm. Check the product page for the fastening and choose a pair she can pull down quickly on her own at the toilet.
