Size guide advice. How to choose the best fit

Choosing the right size for boys' clothes seems simple, but children grow quickly and sizes vary by brand. A good fit ensures comfort and freedom of movement. We'll show you how this works at Mr. Loutre with practical tips for finding the right size. This way, you can be sure your son feels comfortable in his clothes and that his outfits fit well.

How to determine the correct children's size

Measure his total length and chest circumference

To determine your child's size, it's best to use their total height for our boys' clothing. Use a flexible measuring tape. Have your child stand straight against a wall with their heels against the wall. Then measure the length from crown to heel. Also measure their bust by placing the measuring tape around the widest part of their chest. Compare these measurements with our size chart. This will prevent clothing from being too tight or too loose. This is especially important for boys' sizes between 80 and 128, which are often where children grow quickly.

Take his growth into account

Children grow quickly. For sweaters and cardigans, you can always go up a size if he's moving towards a new size. This way, you'll enjoy your items longer and they'll stay comfortable. For trousers, an adjustable waist or elastic waistband is ideal. You'll find these details in our boys' clothing collection. This way, the fit will stay perfect, even as your son grows.

Different fits in boys' clothing

Not every garment fits the same. This can also vary per item and even per fabric. A boy's shirt or a boy's polo shirt should fit well without being too tight. This way, it stays neat and comfortable. Sweaters, cardigans and vests can be a bit looser, allowing for a long-sleeved top underneath. Trousers should offer ample freedom of movement, especially for active boys. Choose stretch fabrics and adjustable waistbands. Check out our sweaterscardigans, and shirts for examples of fits that work.

Comfort and durability go together

When choosing the right size, comfort is important, but so is durability. A well-fitting size prevents wear and tear from a tight fit and ensures boys' clothes last longer. Combine this with quality materials like natural wool and cotton. This way, boys' clothes stay looking good, even after many washes. By choosing wisely, you save money and have a wardrobe that lasts.
