Teenage Boys' Chino Shorts
Teenage boy chino shorts give older boys a smarter option than sports shorts for warm weather. Chinos are cut from woven twill, so they hold a neater shape than jersey. They look right with a polo shirt at a family lunch or a T-shirt on holiday. The sizes suit boys aged 8 to 15. For chino shorts in every age group, see Chino Shorts.
MINOTI chino shorts are sized by height in centimetres, so measure your son rather than going by age alone. Boys' chino shorts for age 9 are usually 140 cm, and for age 10 most boys take 146 cm. If he sits between two sizes, go up, as a little extra length still looks tidy on shorts. Wear them with trainers and a T-shirt, or add a jumper on cooler evenings. Check the care label before washing.
