Boys' Short Trousers for Ages 2 to 8
Short trousers for boys aged 2 to 8 are for warm days when full-length trousers feel too hot. Chino-style shorts look neater than sports shorts, so they work for a birthday party or a family lunch and still cope with an afternoon in the park. Wear them with a polo shirt when you want him to look smart, or with a T-shirt and trainers in the school holidays.
Go by your son's height rather than his age. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm; if he is tall for his age, go up one so the shorts last through the summer. Short trousers and shorts mean the same thing: short trousers is the older British name used on this menu. Check the care label before washing, and for baby or teen sizes see those collections.
