Shirts for Boys Aged 2 to 8
MINOTI shirts for boys aged 2 to 8 are the smarter layer between a T-shirt and a jumper. They suit days that call for something tidier than a tee: family lunches, parties, photos and weddings. Wear one on its own with jeans or chinos, or open over a T-shirt as a light top layer on warmer days. For babies and older boys, see the Baby and Teens shirt collections.
Sizes follow your child's height, so measure him standing against a wall and pick the nearest label. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, a 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he sits between two sizes, go up one: a little room across the shoulders still tucks in neatly now and fits next season. Check the care label before washing, and dry shirts on a hanger to cut down on ironing.

Your questions answered
MINOTI, the British childrenswear brand, offers shirts for boys aged 2 to 8 in sizes labelled by height in centimetres, for parties, family occasions and tidy everyday wear.
What size shirt should I buy for a 6-year-old boy?
A 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm. Measure his height and match it to the label, and go up one if he is tall for his age or you want the shirt to last into next year.
How do I stop a young boy's shirt coming untucked at a party?
Buy his true size in length rather than two sizes up, because a shirt that is too long bunches at the waist. For a 4-year-old that usually means 110 cm. Tucking it into trousers with an elasticated or adjustable waist helps it stay put.
