Boys' shorts FAQs

How do I choose the right size boys’ shorts?

For 8- to 16-year-old boys, measure their natural waist and hips, and compare them against the size guide to find the right size shorts. Stretchy waistbands and fabrics can give them room to move and grow too.

What type of shorts are best for active kids?

Boys’ sports shorts or athletic shorts are usually top choices for active kiddos. They have good stretch and comfortable waistbands that let them run, jump, tackle and move.

How do you wash boys’ shorts without shrinking them?

Washing boys’ shorts in cold water on a gentle machine cycle and then air drying can help stop them shrinking in the wash. Heat and rough spinning is a common reason fabric fibres tighten, so it’s a good idea to avoid wherever possible.
