Girls' Short Trousers for Ages 2 to 8
Girls' short trousers are shorts with a trouser cut, finished above the knee, for girls aged 2 to 8. Chino-style shorts are made in a woven fabric, so they hold their shape better than jersey shorts. They look neat with a polo shirt, blouse or plain T-shirt. Pick them for school holidays, garden parties, days at the beach and warm afternoons when joggers feel too hot.
Short trousers is the traditional name for what most parents call smart shorts or chino shorts, and here they mean the same thing. Each pair is sized by height in centimetres: a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. If she is between sizes, go up one, as woven fabric has less stretch than jersey. Check the care label before the first wash. For babies or older girls, see the Baby and Teens short trousers pages.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's Short Trousers collection for girls aged 2 to 8 contains smart chino-style shorts in height-based sizes such as 110 cm for a 4-year-old and 128 cm for a 7-year-old.
What size short trousers does a 5-year-old girl need?
A 5-year-old girl usually takes 116 cm. If she is tall for her age, go up one to 122 cm, which helps with woven shorts because they have less give than jersey.
What can girls wear with chino shorts when the weather turns cooler?
At around 15 to 18°C, pair chino shorts with a long-sleeved top and a light jumper or cardigan she can take off later. Add socks and trainers. Once it drops much below that, full-length trousers are the better choice.
