Older Boys' Occasion Wear
Older boys' occasion wear is for the days that call for something smarter than school uniform: weddings, christenings, school proms, end-of-term dances and family meals out. The collection covers ages 8 to 15. It suits boys who have outgrown younger party styles and want to dress more like the adults at the event, with smart layers that go over a shirt.
Sizes follow height in centimetres, so measure him standing straight in socks rather than going by age. For boys' occasion wear at age 9, 140 cm is the usual choice, and at age 10 it is 146 cm. If the event is a few months away and he is close to the next size, go up one. Occasion wear is the shop term for what you may call partywear or formal wear. For everyday clothes, see Teens.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's teenage boy occasion wear collection contains smart outfits for weddings, christenings, parties and school proms, made for boys aged 8 to 15 in centimetre sizes, where a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm.
What size is boys' occasion wear for age 11?
An 11-year-old usually takes 152 cm. Measure his height first, and if he is tall for his age or the event is months away, go up one to 158 cm so the outfit still fits on the day.
How far ahead should I buy a boy's outfit for a wedding?
Buy four to six weeks before the event. That leaves time to try it on with his shoes and order another size if needed. Boys aged 12 to 15 can grow several centimetres in a few months, so avoid buying much earlier.
