Boys' Denim Shorts
Boys' denim shorts are the summer choice for climbing frames, scooters and sand. Denim is a sturdy twill weave, so it copes with gravel and grass better than a light jersey short. Wear them with a T-shirt on warm days and add a hoodie when the evening cools. MINOTI makes them from baby sizes up to age 15, and the smallest sizes also sit in Baby Denim Shorts.
Measure your son's height against a wall and choose the nearest size up. If he likes a close fit, boys' skinny denim shorts sit neatly through the leg, while boys' baggy denim shorts hang looser and finish nearer the knee. Boys' black denim shorts show grass stains less than a light wash and go with any T-shirt. New denim can feel stiff at first and softens with each wash, so follow the care label on each pair.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's boys' denim shorts are hard-wearing summer shorts for boys aged 0 to 15, sized by height in centimetres, where a 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm.
What size denim shorts should I buy for a 7-year-old boy?
Most 7-year-olds take 128 cm. If he is tall for his age or near the top of that size, go up one to 134 cm so the shorts still fit at the end of the summer.
Are boys' pull-on denim shorts easier for younger children?
Yes. For boys of about 2 to 5, an elasticated pull-on waist is quicker to manage at nursery and during toilet training. Check the product page to see which pairs are pull-on.
