Teenage Boys' Shorts
Teenage boy shorts for ages 8 to 15 come in four styles here, each with its own page: denim shorts, cargo shorts, chino shorts and short trousers. Denim and cargo styles stand up to football in the park and rough play on holiday. Chinos look tidy at a family barbecue or a summer party. Wear any of them with a T-shirt, and add a hoodie when the evenings cool.
Sizes follow height rather than age. As a guide, boys' shorts for age 9 are usually 140 cm, for age 10 they are 146 cm, and boys' shorts for age 11 are usually 152 cm. If he sits between sizes, go up one, because a little extra length looks fine on shorts. Check the product page to see how each waist fastens. Wash denim inside out with dark colours so it keeps its shade for longer.
