Shorts for Girls Aged 2 to 8
MINOTI shorts for girls aged 2 to 8 come in two groups. Denim shorts are the hard-wearing pair for playgrounds, parks and beach days, and they go with almost any T-shirt. Short trousers are the smarter pairs, so start there for a family lunch or a party in the garden. Both work with a vest top in July or with tights and a jumper in spring.
Choose the size by her height rather than her age. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If she is between two sizes, go up one so the shorts last the whole summer. Denim feels stiffer when new and softens with each wash, and the care label on each pair gives the right setting. On cooler days, shorts over tights with a jumper keep them in use from April to October.

Your questions answered
MINOTI shorts for girls aged 2 to 8 include denim shorts and short trousers for warm days, nursery and holidays, in centimetre sizes such as 116 cm for a typical 5-year-old.
What size shorts does a 5-year-old girl need?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm, a 4-year-old 110 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. Measure her height and pick the nearest size. If she falls between two, the larger one will see her through the season.
Can she wear shorts with tights in spring or autumn?
Yes. Denim shorts over thick tights of around 40 to 60 denier, with a jumper or cardigan, work well at 10 to 15°C. Once it gets colder than that, switch to trousers or leggings.
