Boys' Shirts for School and Occasions
Boys' shirts from MINOTI run from baby sizes to age 15, for the school week, family parties and days when a T-shirt looks too casual. A buttoned shirt with a collar sits neatly under a jumper or blazer and tucks into trousers or chinos. Wear it open over a T-shirt on warmer days, or buttoned with a tie for weddings and christenings, so younger and older brothers can match.
For uniform, a boys' white shirt is the usual choice, but check your school list for the collar style and whether short sleeves are allowed in summer.
