Chino Shorts for Boys Aged 2 to 8
Chino shorts for boys aged 2 to 8 are made in the woven twill that gives chinos their neat, flat finish. They sit between jersey shorts and proper trousers. They are smart enough for a wedding, a christening or Sunday lunch with the grandparents, and still fine for running about in the garden afterwards. Pair them with a polo shirt, a collared shirt or a plain T-shirt, and finish with trainers or sandals.
A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, a 5-year-old 116 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. If your son is between sizes, go up one so they last the whole summer. Chinos are what most shops mean by smart shorts. The woven fabric is firmer than jersey and can crease in the wash, so hang them to dry and smooth them out. The care label gives the washing temperature. For older boys, see the Teens chino shorts.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's chino shorts for boys aged 2 to 8 are smart woven twill shorts sized by height in centimetres, and a 5-year-old boy usually takes 116 cm.
What size chino shorts should I buy for a 4-year-old?
A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. If he is tall for his age or you want them to fit next summer too, 116 cm gives him a bit more length. Check the product page for the fit of each style.
What should a young boy wear with chino shorts to a summer party?
A collared shirt or polo shirt with clean trainers or sandals looks smart from about age 2 upwards. For a wedding, a short-sleeved shirt tucked in keeps him neat. For a barbecue the next day, swap to a T-shirt.
