Boys' Shorts

As the weather warms up, your little guy will be raring to go outside. Make sure he’s all set with stylish kids’ shorts that are ideal for sports, school and playtime. Macy’s has boys’ shorts in a wide variety of styles and fabrics designed to suit any and every boy, from toddlers to teenagers. Here’s a little more info about shorts for boys to inspire your online shopping.

Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers
Ah, the early years when you have full control over his wardrobe! Make the most of it with adorable toddler boy shorts with elasticized waistbands that pull on for ease.

Mini versions of classic looks like chino shorts and cargos are extra-adorable on a little guy. Knit options (think sweat shorts and the like) are perfect for everyday wear, since they can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer once he’s done with playtime.

Grade-School Boys
Once he’s ready to head off to class, he will want to look more grown-up, especially if he has older siblings he’s joining at school.

Khaki shorts are perfect for school-age boys since they have more structure, and your little guy will enjoy wearing styles that look just like his older brother’s or his dad’s.

Boys’ cargo shorts are another great option for grade schoolers, since extra pockets can be super useful.   

Pre-Teens and Teenagers
He’s not a little boy anymore and he’s developing stronger opinions about what he wants to wear. Allow him to choose his shorts for himself, whether that means denim shorts, mesh basketball shorts or something else entirely. 

It’s also a good idea to stock up on athletic shorts for boys because he’ll need them for gym class and after-school sports. Also, remember that pre-teens can grow out of their clothes quickly (get ready for growth spurts).
