Boys' Chinos for Ages 2 to 8
Chinos are the trousers to reach for when joggers feel too casual and a suit feels like too much. MINOTI makes them for boys aged 2 to 8, from the first year of nursery up to the middle of primary school. Chinos are woven twill trousers, so they hold their shape better than jersey and look tidy with a polo shirt, a shirt or a jumper. They work for birthday parties, family photos, weddings and Sunday lunch.
Choose by your son's height rather than his age. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he is between sizes, go up one and turn up the hem until he grows into them. Twill has less give than the jersey used for joggers, so check the fit details on the product page before ordering. Wash them inside out to keep the colour even, and follow the care label for the temperature.

Your questions answered
The MINOTI chinos collection contains smart woven twill trousers for boys aged 2 to 8, worn for school, parties and family occasions, in centimetre sizes, with a 6-year-old usually taking 122 cm.
What size chinos should I buy for a 5-year-old?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If he is tall for his age or near the top of that size, go up one to 122 cm and turn the hem up for the first few months.
Are chinos a good choice for a 3-year-old page boy at a wedding?
Yes. Chinos look smarter than joggers and are easier to move in than suit trousers, which helps on a long day. Pair them with a shirt and a jumper or cardigan, and remember that most 3-year-olds take 104 cm.
