Boys' Denim Shorts, Ages 2 to 8
MINOTI denim shorts are made for boys aged 2 to 8, for the warm months from nursery through to the early years of primary school. Denim is a firm woven fabric, so it stands up to scooters, climbing frames and kneeling in the sandpit better than lighter shorts. Pair them with a T-shirt or polo for everyday wear and holidays. Washes and fits vary from style to style, so check each product page for the colour and cut.
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. Denim has less give than jersey, so if he is between sizes, go up one. On cooler evenings a hoodie or jumper over the top keeps him in shorts a little longer. Wash denim inside out with similar colours, keep new dark pairs away from pale clothes for the first few washes and follow the care label.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's denim shorts for boys aged 2 to 8 are hard-wearing summer shorts in centimetre sizes, part of the boys' shorts range, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
What size denim shorts should I buy for a 4-year-old?
A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. Measure his height without shoes, and if he is tall for his age or near the top of that size, go up one to 116 cm for room to grow through the summer.
Are denim shorts comfortable enough for a 3-year-old at nursery?
They are, as long as the waist sits comfortably when he sits on the floor. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, and a pair that is easy to pull down helps with trips to the loo, so check the waist details on the product page.
