Best Shorts for Boys of 2025

"I wanted no pocket shorts for my son so he keeps his hands out during basketball, and these were great. Sizing does run big, but they fit very well. Durable, good quality, and great price. Lightweight and easy for him to run in."

"These shorts are perfect for my daughter’s gym class. They are soft and comfortable, and the fit was true to the size chart. She really likes the look. Good value for the money!"

"I bought a few pairs of the Children's Place Pro Athlete's Boxer Shorts for my child, and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality and functionality. The material is durable and comfortable, and the design is kid-friendly with a snug elastic waistband. The length is just right for young athletes!"

"I find these shorts to be great for my son! They can be dressed up or just paired with a T-shirt. The deep pockets are a plus, and the adjustable drawstring works perfectly. The material feels just right—not too heavy or thin. Overall, a fantastic value!"

"I really love these shorts! The material is excellent and they fit my son perfectly. They hold up well even after multiple washes, looking almost new each time."

"These shorts are well-made and comfortable. They are a bit long, but I got a good deal, and I would definitely buy from this company again since they frequently have sales."

"My son only wants to wear basketball shorts and sweatpants, but these are super comfy for him. Not a single complaint, which is surprising for my child! They are soft, stretchy, and have an elastic waistband with an adjustable strap. We give them 5 stars across the board and highly recommend them. After washing in cold water, there's been no fading, and they look great on him too. Light and soft, yet still strong after multiple washes!"

"I had to return the shorts I ordered as a gift for my grandson. I based my decision on the waist measurement, but he wears his shorts lower, making them look a bit long and baggy. I plan to consult his parents and possibly order a smaller size since they seemed like good quality shorts overall. The great colors and fabric caught my eye."

"These shorts are fantastic! They have a classic look, but my tall and slender 6-year-old found them too big. Even with the adjustable feature, they still fall off him. I'm saving them for when he grows a bit more!"

"My son absolutely loves these shorts! They are soft, thick, and hold up perfectly in the wash. The pockets are just right for a toddler, and I appreciate the working drawstring. They fit true to size and look exactly like the pictures."

"I purchased these shorts for my 6-year-old grandson, and he finds them really soft. I’m also pleased because they look nice and fit him well. It’s a win-win!"

"These navy shorts work perfectly for my son's school uniform. They are comfortable and made of quality material, fitting him just right."

"The size fits perfectly for my son, and the color is just as expected. It looks very nice on him and washes amazing; it does not shrink or rip easily. I've purchased these before and they lasted two years until he grew out of them, so the durability is great!"

"These shorts are of great quality. I recommend measuring accordingly since some children's waists can be small. They fit my child a bit big, but that worked out well as he’s now growing into them for the next summer. I dislike wasting money on clothes that kids quickly outgrow, and this product met my needs. The packaging was impressive and could even be a gift!"

"My son wore these for his first day back and loved them! He said the style made him feel more grown, and the extra pockets were a plus — happy child, happy mother. The material feels durable and doesn't seem like it will rip easily, which is a bonus. They arrived on time, just three days before school, and are so versatile that I’m considering buying another pair for him."

"I found these shorts to be great quality, although a bit snug, so I returned them for a larger size. They are definitely worth it!"

"As a parent, I appreciate that these shorts are comfortable and good quality for the price. My son is a large boy, and these fit him nicely while allowing for a loose fit."

"I chose these shorts because they were inexpensive and I like Levi's. Size L fits well, but I wish the back pockets were larger; they can barely hold my wallet."

"My son is part of the Federation of North-American Explorers, and these navy shorts are perfect for his uniform. They wash well with no fading, and he says they are super comfortable, even with items in the pockets!"

"I got these for my grandson, who wears uniforms to school. They don't wrinkle and wash nicely, looking very sleek and are of excellent quality!"

"I found these shorts ideal for my preschooler who needs uniform shorts that are easy to wear. However, they were a bit big on the waist for my son; he’s average height and weight for his age."

"I ordered these shorts in two sizes for my sons and they quickly became their most worn shorts this summer. They're perfect for both lounging and working out, offering great value for the price. The appearance is just as advertised, and they fit true to size with colors matching the pictures perfectly."

"I got these shorts for my son to use as sleep shorts. They are made of 100% cotton french terry and are incredibly soft. I was a bit worried about their length due to some reviews, but the size XL fits perfectly for my big boy, and they're long enough!"

"My son really enjoys these shorts. We both prefer a nice length that isn't too short, and these fit the bill. They hold up well after washing and look great. The functional drawstring adds to their appeal, and I love how they come in neutral colors that match anything."

"I bought these for my son. The fit was great with the adjustable elastic/buttons inside the waist. However, I ordered another pair in red, and they were much smaller. My son, who is autistic, didn't cause the pocket tear but was responsible for the button hole."

"For my size 7 grandson, these shorts are cute but slightly big in the waist. He absolutely loves the pockets!"

"I found that this item runs 2 sizes too small. I originally ordered a size 12, which felt like a 10. After reordering a 16, it fit perfectly with a little room for growth."
