Active shorts offer a relaxed fit for comfortable movement in sports, at play or when it’s time to lounge. Fashion shorts let him look more put-together for events. Keep an eye on boys new arrivals to see what’s new in colors and styles for ​​boys shorts.

Find Fashion and Function with ​​Boys Shorts 

When basketball-style shorts just won’t meet the dress code, boys fashion shorts step in. Canvas shorts, poplin shorts, denim shorts, all-terrain shorts and chino shorts can all serve as fashion shorts when paired with the right boys tops. Neutral colors like denim, khaki, black, navy and gray match any top. For boys with bolder personalities, brightly colored shorts show off a more personal style.
