Boys' Shorts, Newborn to Age 15
Boys' shorts come out in April and often stay on until October, so this page gathers every style in one place for ages 0 to 15. There are four groups: short trousers that finish nearer the knee, cargo shorts, denim shorts and chino shorts. Babies and younger boys need shorts that allow crawling and climbing; older boys want pairs for school summers, holidays abroad and weekend football.
To buy boys' shorts online with confidence, go by height: a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm and a 10-year-old 146 cm. If he is between sizes, the larger one leaves room for a growth spurt over the summer. Denim is heavier and holds its shape, while chino twill feels lighter on hot days. Wash denim inside out with dark colours to keep the shade even.

MINOTI boys' shorts include short trousers, cargo, denim and chino shorts for boys aged 0 to 15, in centimetre sizes such as 128 cm for a typical 7-year-old.
What are the best boys' shorts for a summer holiday abroad?
Lighter chino styles are the most comfortable in 25-degree heat, with denim for cooler evenings. Pack three or four pairs for a week so there is always a clean, dry pair ready after the beach or pool.
Does the boys' shorts shop cover babies as well as older boys?
Yes, the boys' shorts range covers ages 0 to 15, so babies are included. A 9-month-old usually takes 80 cm, and the Baby section also has a shorts page of its own if you only want the youngest sizes.
