Boys' Chino Shorts
Boys' chino shorts are the smart choice for warm weather: a woven twill short with a neat, straight shape that looks tidier than jersey. They suit summer parties, holidays, family lunches and days out. Pair them with a polo shirt and trainers for everyday, or a short-sleeved shirt for a wedding or christening. The range covers ages 0 to 15, and there are separate Baby and Teens edits too.
Each size is a height in centimetres, so measure your son without shoes and pick the nearest size up. Twill is a firmer weave than jersey, so the shorts hold a crease and keep their shape through a busy day. Boys' navy chino shorts go with almost any top, and boys' black chino shorts look sharp with a white shirt. Wash darker colours inside out and check the care label for the temperature.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells boys' chino shorts in woven twill for boys aged 0 to 15, in centimetre sizes that follow the child's height, and a 7-year-old boy usually takes 128 cm.
Can boys' red chino shorts be worn to a summer wedding?
Yes. Boys' red chino shorts or boys' pink chino shorts look smart with a white or pale blue shirt, and a 4-year-old page boy stays cooler than he would in full trousers. Keep the rest of the outfit plain so the colour does the work.
What size chino shorts should I buy for a 7-year-old boy?
A 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he is tall for his age or between sizes, go up to 134 cm. A slightly longer short still looks tidy and leaves room for a growth spurt over the summer.
