Girls' Shorts for Sunny Days
Girls' shorts for ages 0 to 15 come in two groups here: denim shorts, and short trousers that look a little smarter. Both come out in late spring and go with T-shirts, vest tops and sandals through the summer holidays. In baby sizes they sit over a nappy, and older girls wear them with trainers for days out, sports days and trips to the beach.
If you came here for girls' PJ shorts, the Nightwear pages have them, and a girls' tankini with shorts belongs in Swimwear. When you buy girls' shorts for daytime, go by height: a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm. Denim is sturdy and softens with washing, so wash it inside out with darks to keep the colour even and stop it fading at the seams.

Your questions answered
MINOTI daytime shorts for girls aged 0 to 15 include denim shorts and short trousers, in centimetre sizes such as 122 cm for a typical 6-year-old, with pyjama shorts kept in Nightwear.
How should daytime shorts fit on a girl who is still growing?
The waist should sit flat without a belt and she should be able to crouch without the hem riding up. If she is between two sizes, choose the larger for a summer growth spurt: a 9-year-old usually takes 140 cm.
What should I check when ordering girls' shorts online?
Check her height first: an 11-year-old usually takes 152 cm. Then read the product page for the fabric and the care label, as denim and lighter fabrics can need different wash settings.
