Teen Boys' Polo Shirts
A teenage boy polo shirt sits between a T-shirt and a proper shirt. It has a collar and a buttoned placket, so it looks tidy, but it pulls on over the head like a T-shirt. The sizes suit boys aged 8 to 15, for family meals, days out, holidays and smart-casual days. Worn open at the neck with jeans or chino shorts, a polo works for boys who will not wear a shirt but need to look smart.
Polos are sized by height in centimetres, so measure him without shoes. A boys' polo shirt for age 9 is usually 140 cm, and a boys' polo shirt for age 10 is usually 146 cm. If he is tall for his age, go up one, as boys grow quickly at this age. Under a jumper with the collar out, a polo carries on into autumn. Check the product page and care label before washing. For younger sizes, see the main Polos page.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's polo shirts for teenage boys are collared, buttoned tops for boys aged 8 to 15, sized by height in centimetres, and a 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm.
What size is a boys' polo shirt for age 11?
Most 11-year-olds take 152 cm, and a boys' polo shirt for age 12 is usually 158 cm. Height matters more than age, so if he is tall for his year, go by his measurement and pick the nearest size above it.
Is a polo shirt smart enough for a 14-year-old at a family event?
Yes, for most smart-casual events. A 14-year-old usually takes 170 cm. Pair a plain polo with chinos and clean trainers, and do the buttons up for a neater look. For a formal dress code, a proper shirt is the safer choice.
