Older Boys' Shirts
Shirts for teen boys have to last a full school day and still look tidy for a family meal or a party afterwards. The collared shirts here are for boys aged 8 to 15. Worn open over a plain T-shirt, the same shirt also works at weekends. Styles and fabrics vary, so check each product page for the details. For smaller sizes, see the main Shirts collection.
Teenage boy shirts need room across the shoulders, so check his height before ordering. A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm and a 13-year-old 164 cm. If he sits between two sizes, go up one so the shirt stays tucked in when he sits down or reaches up. Wash and dry as the care label says, and hang shirts up straight away to cut down on ironing.
Your questions answered
MINOTI shirts for teen boys are collared shirts for school and smarter occasions for boys aged 8 to 15, in height-based centimetre sizes, and a boys' shirt for age 9 is usually 140 cm.
Do older boys' school shirts button the same way as men's shirts?
Yes, they do. The buttons sit on the wearer's right and the buttonholes on the left, just as on a man's shirt. That stays the same whether he wears 134 cm or 164 cm.
What size school shirt should a 12-year-old boy wear?
Most 12-year-olds take 158 cm, and 11-year-olds usually take 152 cm. If he is tall for his age or broad in the shoulders, choose by his height rather than his age, and go up a size when he falls between two.
