Tips on Ordering Boys Hawaiian Shirts and Outfits

Its my experience that when it comes to choosing little boys clothing, that men, as well as women, all have a hard time choosing the proper size. To be honest, if I didn’t have a retail store that sold children’s clothes I probably wouldn’t know either. So I will just cut to the chase and give you the guys low down on selecting the correct children’s size each and every time (well most of the time).

For boys Hawaiian cabana outfits all you need to do is know the child’s age, and yes it’s that simple.  In example a garment labeled 6M is made for a child that is at least 6 months old, yet younger than the next size up. Let’s say the next size is 2, that would fit a child that is 2 years old, but is under 4 years old, which is size [insert drum roll] size 4!


So while there are some children’s garments in size 1, most children’s outfits are labeled 6M, 2, 4, 6, and 8 (which spans size 8 – 10)

Boys Hawaiian shirts are an entirely different ballgame though. Most boys shirts are labeled small, medium, large and XL and they are probably the most difficult to choose, mainly because a boys small is not the same size as an adult size small.

So what’s a guy to do? Well for me its back to the child’s age.

In my opinion a child’s size 8, which is for children 8 – 10 years old could also serve as a size small. So if I made a conversion chart it would look like this. 8 = Small, 10 = Medium, 12 = large, 14 = Children’s XL or adult Small.

While all of this is not definitive, you’re odds of choosing correctly the first time are excellent. You may also want to consider whether or not the boy is active or a video game couch potato (whereas my formulas are void)
